Welcome To My Blog

Hi,

Welcome to my AS Media blog. Please use the labels to the right in order to navigate through and find something that interests you.

I have completed and recorded the process of creating a school magazine (front cover and contents page) and a music magazine (front cover, contents page and double page spread). There is also an evaluation of the music magazine task, which was the larger of the two. This evaluation is spread out across seven questions with each being given its own blog post.

Evaluation Question 4 & 5

4. Who Would Be The Audience For Your Media Product?
5. How Did You Attract/Address Your Audience?

When making the video for this question i decided that I didn't want to influence anyone's opinion so i gave them the video camera and then left them for a few minutes so that they could film what they actually thought. I feel this went well and the feedback was fairly positive.

Evaluation Question 3

3. What Kind of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product and Why?

After researching various magazine distribution companies to find out which would be best suited to DEARHEART I have decided that I'd want  Bauer Media to distribute my magazine. This is because they already print a large collection of well know music magazine in a number of genres, catering to wide markets. Some of these magazines include; Q, MOJO and KERRANG! These are massively popular in the UK where my target audience is based and I feel that being attached to such an influential brand would be beneficial to both me and my magazine.

Bauer Media Group is a multinational media company based in Germany which operates in 15 countries around the globe. The worldwide circulation of their magazine titles amounts to 38 million magazines a week.
