1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

My media product does all of the above. it develops, uses and challenges real media products.



3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

I have learned alot from the feedback that i recieved from my target audience when i gave out my questionnaire. Doing the questionnaire allowed me to create a music magazine that in general the public will buy and read about, also it allowed me to discover what sort of colours would attract my target audiences eye and also what sort of information the public would be most attractive to them and thier friend


4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?



To create my media product i had to use new technology to construct my student magazine. I had to use a new software that i had only heard of but had never used or seen it in action, until i crerated my student magazine in my prelimary task... Photoshop. i had learnt many things more since i completedmy prelimary task

I also learnt more about using a camera and taking pictures. I learnt how to take a picture at many different angles, such as a high angel shot and spot lighting. I have taken other pictures in the past and when i was producing my student magazine but they have been they were small angel.

Lastly I found this task fun because I explored my own favourite magazine and also achieved new things on Photoshop. I also had a new experience with MAC pc’s even if it was frustrating at first. If I had to redo my task again I think I would do the same thing I did and maybe add more things to it as well.
