1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
I haven't really researched any school magazines which was a major flaw when first looking at creating a school magazine the market is very limited. However i imagine a real school magazine would have on the cover pupils, a school friendly mise en scene i.e school uniform. The schools logo and own name as a mast head, and stick to the house style that the school has, in my case red black and yellow.
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The school magazine is meant to represent pupils of high school age. It does this by having two pupils in uniform on the front.
3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I think an indipendant media institution would distribute my school magazine as its only meant for my school so the school itself could produce it and distribute it in registration times. The market isnt big enough for a big producer to distribute my product.
4. Who will be the audience for your media product?
The audience would be parents and students.
5. How did you attract/address your audience?
Various school related plugs on the cover, a reader relationship has been created along with the presentable friendly looking students.
6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt to use a very sophisticated camera, straighten images on publisher, grasp the basics of publisher and learnt how to shoot a head/ shoulders shot.
