Preliminary-Evaluation-Question Seven

Looking forward towards your main task, what do you feel you have learnt about the production process that will help you as you approach the full product?

I feel that the development for the preliminary task was okay but I did come across some mistakes that I personally made as I went along. I have found that time management was a key element for the completion of the task. As I progressed throughout the task I felt as though I was behind schedule and this was due to the fact I had a lack of urgency to get my photography complete quickly and as soon as possible.


I believe that this affected my final product a lot and also feel that if i had given myself a time plan to follow in order to complete all tasks at the correct time I would have produced a product to a much higher standard. The one thing I feel that I would have wanted to change is the photos that I have used. I feel that this also affected the fine details which I would have been able to review with peers and my teachers such as, using a professional boarder line and using photography with students in to make the overall product look more attractive. I have learnt a lot about the production process also throughout this preliminary task.

One of the biggest contributes to this is the fact that this was the first year in which I have studied Media and have there for never come across a production process before. I have learnt about all of the steps that are necessary to create a professional standard magazine. I feel as though this absence of knowledge has affected me during the preliminary task but as i have now obtained this I will take this into the main task and use everything I have learnt from the preliminary task.  

Preliminary-Evaluation-Question Six

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Below is a PowerPoint presentation that I created to explain how I discovered and learned about new technologies in which I obtained new skills. Also how I developed these skills throughout the Preliminary task through, Research, Pre-Production, Development and Post-Production. Also how this is the first year that I have studied 'Media' and there for had very limited knowledge and expierence with using 'Media' software. Throughout the powerpoint I will explain in detail how and what skills I have picked up from the Preliminary task.

Preliminary-Evaluation-Question Four

Who would be the audience for your medi product?

The audience I feel that would be attracted to my magazine are students due to the feedback that I got from peers. The videos below display these comments which I obtained from peers on my front cover and contents page. The comments which i got from students gave me the impression that they would enjoy reading this magazine, as they seemed attracted to the style.

Preliminary-Evaluation-Question Three

What kind of institution might distribute your media product and why?

The magazine which I created and produced, I feel as though it would be distrubuted by Trinity school. This is because it was specificly designed to use features from Trinity school such as the Trinity logo, the sports field and the masthead itself is based around Trinity school.

I also feel as though this magazine would be distrubuted from the Sports department of Trinity school due to the fact of the iconic key image of a P.E student. The background is also one that is of a sporting icon as it displays a sports field. All of the cover lines are of sporting events and this suggests that the distrubtution will be of a sporting facility such as the P.E department.

Preliminary-Evaluation-Question Two

Preliminary-Evaluation-Question One

In what ways does your media product use , devlop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products

Through evaluating proffesional magazines and comparing the codes and conventions of the magazine that I produced against these profesional magazines, I have managed to produced a powerpoint presentation on how my product uses these codes and conventions.

Front Cover (Proffesional)

Front Cover (My Production)

Contents Page(Proffesional)



Contents (My Production)

Overall I feel as though my media product follows many codes and convetions of a proffesional magazine due to attributes such as the use of a masthead, coverlines and iconic images.
