NEA Part 8 - Casting

In this task i will be deciding the people that will be helping me to take pictures or provide props too me. Corey Law : He is a good friend of mine and could help provide the cards and / or props that i will need to enhance the readers / viewers experience. Joey Langford : Also a good friend with a good knowledge of the card game and could also provide cards and / or props to add to the readers experience.

NEA PART 7 - Location information

I will be talking about where i will be taking the pictures of the cards and / or other props that i will need for my magazine. I will primarily be using a bids eye view / top down shot or close up shot to photograph my props. This will occur in my house probably in my room on a flat white or black table. They could also be taken on a grey sofa, so that all the focus will be on the prop.

NEA Part 6 - Product Style Profile

In this task i will be planning and creating sketches that should reflect or help me on what i would do in my real magazine. I believe sketching is important because it will help visualise my 'final' product, this will help me improve my work. Corey Law: I like the third one. Andrew Quirke : I prefer the third one. Priyan Rathinraj: I prefer the third one because it has pictures of what the cards are. From my research i can see that people like the third one the most because it has more information and is more developed. This went along with my predictions that the most interactive one and the one that provided to most information would be the most popular.

Task 2  -  Answer the following questions about audience profiling: Name 5 ways in which audiences can be categorised. They can be categorised in: Social class, Gender,  Age, Religion and Race / Nationality. Why do you think it's important for media producers to categorise audiences? Because some audiences could get offended by certain media products. Some can be easily influenced by media or some audiences are to young to see certain media forms.

Task 6  - DEFINE YOUR AUDIENCE From these graphs i can tell that my audience for my magazine are into RPG adventure games. This means that they are quite niche audience.

Tuesday, 19 March 2019 TASK 2 - Write a short introduction of what you intend to achieve with this post: In this post i will be looking at and researching how different media theories can be applied to magazines and other forms of media, and how they can effect a piece of media.

This magazine links to the Richard Dyer theory that states stereotypes legitimise inequality and marginalise certain individual or certain social groups. In media we see a lot ...

I will look at intertextuality (when one form of media is mentioned in another one) in different media forms e.g. cartoons, TV shows, and magazines. TASK 3   –  Choose 3 different media texts... as long as they link to the brief you've chosen.     The vogue magazine is recreating a front cover from and army recruitment poster/magazine. People who like the recruitment propaganda may also be influenced by the magazine because they could relate to some things in it This magazine shows faces of political figures that some people may be interested in. Politics is especially important now with Brexit, people might be more inclined to read the magazine because of it's current social context. It also seems like a comedy magazine which also has a wide audience. To conclude from these magazines i can tell that using famous people as intertextuality is good for d...
