Is Production Easy?

Making a media product is hard work. It takes imagination, organisation, creativity and brilliant ICT skills.  Not only does your product need to look professional and creative but you need to completely know your target audience.

Last week we were looking at creating a magazine front cover that would appeal to a certain target audience. How successful was your final product and what kind of learning journey did you go on to get the product finished on time? Deciding the answers is called Evaluation. This is an important skill for Media Studies students.

Here is the task you should be finishing ahead of next lesson: 

Create an Evaluation Presentation (five slides using powerpoint).

•Explain your product (magazine front cover) and why it appeals to the target audience

•What research did you do? What did you find out?

•How does it follow the codes and conventions of magazines?

•Reflect on your work using media terminology (key concepts).
