Music Magazine Evaluation
The document summarizes the design choices made for a student-created music magazine aimed at teenagers. Key points include:
1) The magazine targets teenagers aged 14-17, featuring a teenage pop star on the cover to appeal to younger readers' aspirations.
2) Research informed the target demographic and conventions used, though not every standard element was included.
3) A questionnaire determined readers preferred a female solo artist as the cover story, further focusing the magazine at teenage girls.
4) Representation of social groups and trends was considered through the cover star's pacifier accessory and inclusion of both emerging and established artists.
Music Video Construction
Final Cut Express is a professional video editing program that the document's author used to edit their music video. They had to import their video footage and song files into Final Cut Express to begin editing. They found an easier way to access their footage was to import the entire folder containing the files rather than individual files. Throughout the editing process, the author used various tools and effects in Final Cut Express like transitions, color adjustments, and keyframing to enhance the video and tell the story. The finished music video featured the main artist in different scenes and camera angles to make the video more diverse while reflecting the autumn season theme.
Music Video Questionnaire Results
The document summarizes the results of a music video questionnaire given to 20 individuals ranging from ages 15-30, including 9 males and 11 females. Key findings include that most respondents preferred music videos with a narrative storyline or dance routines. A majority also indicated they sometimes like animation and special effects. When asked about pop music videos, most expected to see a performance. Fast-paced music videos were generally preferred over slow ones. The most popular music genres were pop and R&B. Younger respondents tended to have more similar answers than older respondents or adults.
Music Magazine Construction
The document describes the process of creating a music magazine cover and contents page in Photoshop and InDesign. Key steps included editing photos of a model, designing the background, adding text effects like bevel and emboss, and experimenting with layouts to refine the design. Images were edited to remove spots, whiten teeth, and enhance eyes before being integrated into the magazine template.
Music Magazine Construction
The document describes the process of creating a music magazine in Photoshop and InDesign. It discusses editing photos of a model for the cover, including removing backgrounds and smoothing skin. It also covers designing magazine elements like the masthead, contents page, and double page spread through tools like variations, bevel and emboss, and adding transparent iPods to the background. The document provides details on photo and text editing as well as layout elements of the magazine.
Camera Shots, Angles and Movement
Camera shots are described by their framing (extreme long shot to extreme close-up), angle (bird's-eye view to low angle), and movement (pans, tilts, dolly shots, cranes, zooms, and aerial shots). Framing ranges from shots showing a broad landscape to tight close-ups of a face. Angles can make a subject seem imposing or insignificant. Movement follows or reveals the action through techniques like panning, tracking, or aerial views. Together these techniques shape the audience's perspective and understanding.
A2 Media: The Evaluation
The document discusses the process of creating a music video with consideration of codes and conventions. It aimed to tell a simple narrative storyline about a young relationship that would engage the target audience of older teenagers. Elements like costumes, locations, lighting, actors, and editing were used purposefully according to conventions of the genre and to portray the artist and storyline professionally. Sound was also an important convention, using mostly non-diegetic music but with diegetic piano playing at the beginning and end to set the scene. Overall the document emphasizes using research of conventions to thoughtfully include various technical and artistic elements into the music video.

Video editing involves both artistic and technical processes to compile and alter video footage into a new version.
