The document summarizes the recce of a large park near the author's house for a potential photoshoot location. It notes that the park has many large oak trees and is separated from roads by tall hedges. While the open space could allow free movement, shooting may be impacted by the changing sun position and potential crowding or rain. The public park would not require permission to shoot but electrical power would need to come from batteries as there are no outlets. Overall, the location has potential but various unpredictable outdoor factors create some reservations about using it.

The document analyzes the suitability of two park locations - Arthur Newbury Park and McIlroy Park - for filming a horror movie. It finds that McIlroy Park, with its dense wooded area, dark atmosphere, and lack of background noise or light pollution, is better suited for capturing the intended scary and ominous mood. Permission is not required to film in either public park, but care must be taken not to disturb other park visitors or nearby residents with noise. The dense woods in McIlroy Park align well with expectations for a horror setting and could help heighten tension and fear in viewers.

Location Recce: Hardwick Park identifies several access, lighting, and sound issues that may need to be addressed for a shoot at the park:
1) Parking and the distance some group members would need to travel could present access issues, especially if conditions are slippery or icy. Uneven surfaces are also a concern.
2) With shoots planned among the trees, natural light may be blocked and battery-powered lighting may be needed. The sun could create unwanted beams of light through tree gaps.
3) For long shots, performers may not hear background music playing. Additionally, instructions could be difficult to hear during peak park hours with other people talking nearby.

Evaluation Question 4
The student used various media technologies in constructing their coursework project. Blogger was used to create an online blog to upload all coursework for easy access and organization. A borrowed Nikon D60 digital SLR camera was utilized to record higher quality video and photos compared to a phone. Microsoft Excel helped keep track of tasks and organize audience feedback data. Glogster, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and other programs supported specific creative works or elements of the project. SurveyMonkey facilitated collecting audience feedback surveys. A USB drive collected all materials for access throughout the project.
Evaluation question 1
My media product develops and challenges conventions of real music videos and magazine advertisements in the following ways:
1) It uses trends like branding the artist's name at the beginning/end of the video and including extreme closeups of the artist, but challenges conventions by showing the artist with little makeup and pale skin.
2) It develops conventions through the use of visual effects, filters, and unique shot transitions, while also including shock factors like an artist smeared in paint.
3) It draws inspiration from real music videos and films but develops their ideas further by adding more subtle connections between shots and themes throughout the video.
4) It develops conventions of magazine advertisements through techniques like color picking and mirroring
Editing the music video
The document describes the process of editing a music video using Adobe Premiere Pro. Key steps included importing video clips and the song, adding environmental shots to the introduction, repeating and zooming clips of a model to match the beat, and adding titles. Throughout the video, various filters and editing techniques were applied to clips to set the surreal mood and signify intense scenes. Clips were looped in the chorus to reflect the repetitive nature of the song and link the video's style. The ending shows the character walking away in slow motion with a smeared face to represent their madness and regret.
Star theory - Britney Spears
This document analyzes how Britney Spears' persona and image have been constructed and evolved over her career in order to stay relevant. It examines her music videos from her first 8 albums and finds that her image became increasingly sexualized to appeal to adult audiences. After a mental breakdown, her image was reconstructed to hide her personal issues. Now her image is overtly commercialized to promote her work. The document argues that Britney has little control over her image and persona, which have been shaped by her record label to maximize commercial success.
Editing the digipak
The document describes the process of editing images for a digipak cover. It discusses selecting two initial images, editing one in Photoshop Express to make the red facepaint pop against a monochrome background by increasing saturation and lowering exposure. Text was then added in Photoshop Pro and adjustments were made to positioning, spacing, sizing and colors until the designer was satisfied. Other images in the digipak were heavily edited to create variety and a feeling of recklessness. The final image chosen perfectly encapsulates the ideas behind the project by obscuring the model's face.
Editing my magazine advert
The document describes the process of editing a magazine advertisement in Photoshop Elements 12. It details how the advertiser opened a new canvas to the correct size, copied over album artwork to maintain brand recognition, added a mirrored effect on the bottom to make it more interesting, cut out part of the image to leave space for writing, blended layers to make the continued coat material look realistic, and added final touches like a review quote, website, and logo before completing the advert.

Organisation of costumes & props
The document discusses the organization of costumes and props for a music video. There will be two costumes to represent the different sides of the main character's personality. The first costume consists of a blue jumper, black jeans, and blue coat to depict wanting to stay with her partner. The second costume is a white shirt with loose hair to portray choosing her career. Various face paints and an iPhone will be used as props to symbolize themes in the song like a dream-like state and a career opportunity causing inner turmoil.
Audience profile
The document provides an audience profile for a music genre targeted at 16-25 year olds, primarily female. Research showed the target audience interacts heavily with media on YouTube, iTunes, radio and social media using their phones. As electronic music is popular, the target covers a wide range but focusing original content on research-informed platforms and networking sites is expected to make the video highly successful.
Audience research results
This document summarizes the results of an audience research survey about music video and album packaging preferences. It asks respondents about their age, gender, how they listen to music, what they find appealing in music videos, how often they watch music videos, their preferences regarding narrative, lyrics and locations in music videos. It also asks about magazine ad preferences, focus on the musician, branding consistency, importance of digipak layout and design, and whether advertising and packaging should reflect the song genre or music video style.
Props list
The document provides a props list for a photo shoot that includes two outfits for the model - a short party dress and an edgy sheer black jumper with skinny jeans. Minimal makeup and jewelry are suggested to match the natural location, with the possible addition of dangly earrings. A microphone stand, bed, office chair, and fish tank are also listed as potential props.
Readership
ALPHA Magazine is a new monthly pop/dance music magazine launched in May 2013 with a circulation of 89,500. The magazine targets 18-21 year olds of both genders and features exclusive interviews with international stars and up-and-coming artists. It provides information to readers on gigs, festivals, and community events related to more mainstream pop and dance music genres. Over 90% of readers are within the target age group and regularly listen to pop/dance music.
Focus group
The focus group provided feedback on key decisions for a new dance/pop music magazine, agreeing with the proposed genre focus, title "Alpha" and design, featuring a female solo artist on the cover, having an exclusive interview with the cover star as the double page spread, and a monochrome color scheme with neon accents. They also agreed the proposed £2.99 monthly price point would not be a barrier to regular purchases.
Primary research
The questionnaire results showed that purple was the favored color and that words like "fun" described pop/dance music. Most listeners enjoyed it occasionally or at parties. Lady Gaga and Calvin Harris were popular artists and the target age group was 16-21. Readers preferred a singer/band on the cover rather than a DJ. They would pay £2-3 for the magazine and wanted an equal balance of photos and words in double page spreads. This information will help design a magazine aimed at casual pop/dance music fans age 16-21.

The document discusses four magazine publishing companies in the UK - Bauer, IPC Media, Emap, and Future PLC. It provides details on when each company was established, who owns them, examples of the types of magazines they publish, and whether their magazines are mainstream or niche. The concluding paragraphs discuss how Blumler and Katz's uses and gratifications theory suggests that media users actively choose media sources that fulfill their needs, such as diversion, personal relationships, personal identity, and surveillance. Billboard magazine is used as an example of how it can fulfill these four needs.
Cover design 1
This design has all the necessary elements for a magazine cover and is neat and smart but may be too formal and uniform looking as it lacks visual interest and could appear sparse.
Cover design 2
This document compares two magazine cover designs, with Design 2 having pros of including all necessary elements, an interesting layout, and space for additional articles, but also cons of being less neat than Design 1 and potentially looking tacky if too many words or articles are included and distract from the central image.
Contents design 2
This document compares two potential contents design options, with Design 2 having pros of including all necessary elements for a contents page tailored for the target audience, but also cons of a central image being covered up too much and it appearing more sparse and less neat than Design 1, along with potential for an angled title to look tacky.
Research evaluation
From conducting primary and secondary research, including assessing other college magazines, distributing a questionnaire, and analyzing the results, the following conclusions were drawn:
- Inspiration would be taken from the magazine cover with bright colors, bold writing, and engaging headlines more so than the more amateurish alternative.
- The contents page with a professional yet cool and attractive color scheme and layout was preferable to the bland one.
- Based on the questionnaire, a red, purple, and black color scheme along with a title emphasizing community were decided upon.
- The magazine would have a balance of formal and informal tones while focusing mainly on extracurricular topics.
- The questionnaire results would be weighted more heavily than the researcher's
Media magazine analysis cover 2
The document discusses magazine cover design techniques. It explains that placing the magazine title at the top serves as a header that draws the audience's attention downward. Featuring a central image in the middle is an effective way to indicate the content and attract readers. Including article teasers and cover lines helps create interest by showing readers the range of topics in the issue.

7 location recce 3
- 1. Location Recce 3 – A park near my House Action Point Comments Look around the location. The park is very big, with lots of big oak trees and a tall hedge separating it from the nearby roads. People walk their dogs there, but because it’s so big there’s lots of free space Talk to people there, organise filming permissions. As it’s a public park, we don’t need permission to do the photoshoot there Identify the equipment you need to use. Only a digital camera, and the props used woule be the trees already there Examine and identify any potential health and safety issues (e.g. crowd numbers being controlled, being set up in a sensible location that does not block access points or that damages the environment or frightens livestock, any road/traffic issues etc…) If the wrong day is chosen the park could be very busy, and as its an open space there is a slight worry of rain, but most worries can be avoided Check the position of the sun and lighting conditions. The sun would be a problem as the changing position would affect the lighting in the shots, and we couldn’t use artificial lighting to even the photos out Look for interesting shots and camera angles. Because the park is on one level, the only way to get interesting angles would be to go higher into the trees or to lie down on the grass Check the electricity supply. (For the majority of exterior locations you will be using battery power) No electricity supply, so battery powered camera needed Check the nearby car parking/transport routes It’s a short walk from my house, so no access issues Is the location suitable for production? It could be suitable, but there are a lot of random factors involved in an outdoor shoot which create reservations about using it for the photoshoot.
