Tasks that need to be on your blog
• Audiences
Task- Create an audience profile for a magazine using Photoshop and upload
• Analysing
a Magazine cover
I know you have started this and you just need to finish
and publish
WWW
1) I am
impressed that you have started trying to use Media language accurately – such
as picking out connotations and the effects of the camera shots in the editing
task you completed on Home Alone and the ‘Central Image’ in the Diary of a
Wimpy Kid poster. Please make sure that you put any media words you have used
in your blog in BOLD so that I can see where you have become confident using
these new terms.
2) You
have often got onto the extension tasks which shows commitment to the work.
Make sure you are completely up to date though before you publish something.
EBI
1) For
your LIAR task on Diary of a Wimpy Kid poster – you have written only one line
for each thing. Media Language (the L) includes all the visual images you can
see and the mise-en-scene in the poster (props, character, costume, setting) so
make sure you say something about each thing. Representation is about which
groups of people (gender, age, race) are on the poster. Can you change this now
that you are more confident in these areas? Use my example if you need to and
your notebook.
2) Please
upload the missing work for target audience. When discussing target audience,
see if you can be specific about DEMOGRAPHIC and PSYCHOGRAPHIC so that I can
tell you know the difference. Look at your notes whenever you are tackling a
blog task as that is what your media book is for!
3) Please
check your spellings and proof read your work for checking spelling and sense.
Some basic words are spelled incorrectly such as ‘Magazine’ and ‘Audience’ when
they are right there in your blog titles and you have copied them off the board
so please copy words correctly. Tip- write your blog posts on WORD documents
first and then copy and paste once you have spell checked.
Learner Response
1) Copy
and paste the above WWW and EBI into a new blog post entitled ‘Responding to
Blog Feedback’
2) Please
finish all work that is not finished and publish it.
3) Write
a paragraph telling me what you have found interesting so far in Media and what
has been your favourite task. What do you think you have done well in?
4) Write
a paragraph telling me what you have found difficult so far in Media and what
has been your least favourite task. What skills do you think you need to
practise?
5) Write
a new blog post entitled ‘My Photo Shoot shopping List’ where you write down
all the props and costume that you need for next week’s photo shoot. What
camera angles will you use and who is going to be your model? What pose will
they be in?

Assignment 1- The Magazine Cover
- -A bold, snappy title reflecting the ethos of your magazine in the top third. What is your title?My tittle is going to be called ICON
- This suggest to the audiance,how to be iconic in the fashion world as the magazine is about fashion,
2 -Rule of thirds- how will you use this? I'll put the tittle on the top 3 squares .
3-A tag line linking to your title - what is this and how will it link to your title?
"the path to being iconic in fasnion" ,This links to the tittle "icon" means how to be worthy of great respect ,in this magizine in fasion ,and that's how the tag line links with the tittle.
4-A strong central image using a medium close up / close up / medium shot (no bigger than this and no more than two people; strongest covers use one) What is this image going to show? ther'll be one central image, this image will show the audiance how to bold and iconic.
5-A colour scheme of three main colours which signify certain connotations you want your target audience to take away with them . my colours would probably be pink purple and red because the demographic would be teenage girls,
6-The letter 'i' and the word 'free' as this is a supplement with the 'i' newspaper- where is this going to be included? (eg will you incorporate it into your title?) I'll include the "i" in the tittle.The part that'll say it's free would be on the bottom right.
8 Three or four 'flashes' or secondary cover lines telling the reader in short phrases (without connectives) what will be in the magazine. There should be a theme running through these stories that works with your overall ethos. FLASHES-where did Rhianna get the idea from of her 2015 Met Gala look .
- tips

-
9 Perhaps a competition ,winnining a iphone 7 if you buy the i news papper.
10 -Perhaps a strap line at the top and / or bottom of the cover to make it look stylish and clean.
- I'd put the strap on the bottem ant it'll have social media logos where to follow ,because the target audiance are teenagers
11-Font choice should be consistent and bold and eye-catching (no hard-to-read fonts please or ones that resemble handwriting!) The font should be in bold as it will stand out more to the audiance
12,Some links to social media or something that suggests that the target audience can engage with your product on more than one media platform. I would use some links like twitter,instagram and facebook too engage with my target audiance teenagers and they usually follow these sights.
