Production Diary

Week 5

This week I have not been in lessons due to being off and being on a Geography Field trip, however, I was able to look at the results from my survey I created for my audience research task, which I then created a Prezi to show the analysis. I found much in my audience research to help with my production of my upcoming creation of my music magazine, which will help me to develop it the best way I can, which will attract my audience and interest a variety of people.
For my audience research, I found that 'Survey Monkey' wasn't as great to use as it was wasn't easy to analyse the data of my survey and I had to round the results and work it out myself, rather than the website to produce it correctly and in a variety of ways for me, for example in a graph.
I hope to retrieve all my research and finalise it this upcoming, as well as to get onto my production of my magazine, through the next week or two, I hope to get my images produced, especially through the half term so I can put them together with my magazine when we get back to school.

This is a Prezi I created to show the analysis of my results, which I retrieved from my Music survey I created for my audience research.

Production Diary

Week 4

This week in my Media class, we have started to focus on our main task, the production of our music magazine. We've had to start thinking about the research we need to undertake, in order to understand the audience we want to reach, as well as understand what people want to see inside magazines and what they're interested in. I have focused on my research by creating a questionnaire on 'SurveyMonkey.com', a website that allows you to create your own questionnaires and surveys. This is useful software, as it enables you to find out results for people taking part in the survey and retrieve quick data. I have also made prezi's to show my step-by-step plan to reach my final production, I have included a variety of ideas, what I am planning to do and how I am going to reach it, this will help me along the way, to check I have done everything I needed and wanted to, as well as help me with different ideas. Once I have obtained my research, I plan to start producing my flat plan and think about the type of theme I want to use, this includes the colour and font - I can do this by creating colour and font charts.
I have already figured out what genre I want to do, Cultural Music. I found it difficult to choose one genre of music, so I decided 'Why don't I do a variety?', this is how I reached the idea of cultural music, cultural music targets a big variety of demographics and include many different styles of music. This idea I feel is quite original and unique then a lot of magazines out there already.

This week I have also uploaded my two-page spread for my preliminary task of my school publication article, as well as this I have made a Voki talking about my progress so far during my coursework.

Magazine Progress so far

Audience Research

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.

This is the questionnaire I produced to conduct my Audience Research for my magazine, this is to find out what different types of audiences like to see in a magazine in order for me to make my magazine engaging to people. I will hopefully get around 20 people or possibly more, to answer my questionnaire which will allow me to gain data in what people like in a magazine.

Ideas for my Music Magazine

This is a Prezi I made to show my step-to-step of how I will produce and reach my final production of my music magazine, it shows my variety of ideas I have and what I plan and hope to do.

Five Targets

These are my five targets of what I could improve on next time when I reach my final production; these targets are a result of my preliminary task and what I could improve on.
