My magazine is designed for those interested in films who want to stay updated on upcoming movies, celebrity interviews, and more. The target audience is 18-54 years old, as interest in film is growing. To create the magazine, I used technologies like Adobe Photoshop and took photos with a DSLR camera. Through this project, I developed production skills like learning to be creative and organize my work to effectively represent it to audiences. Researching similar magazines helped me discover a lot about my chosen genre.

1. Creative Critical Reflection

2. INTRODUCTION
I have chosen to create a film magazine
for my media studies project. I chose this
genre to focus on because this is what
interests me the most as well as to other
people. The sub genres that are
available in this category are adventure,
comedy, drama , romance etc. The film
industry has grown a lot over the years
and so there's a lot to look into as there is
a lot of wide range .

3. 1.How does your product use or
Challenge conventions and
how does it represent social
groups or Issues?
The social groups that are represented in my chosen magazine
i.e. Film are the readers that you’ll be expecting to see buy a
genre magazine of their interest. However my magazine is a
film magazine and my target audience age group would be
18-54 years old because now a days people take a lot of
interest in film and TV. My magazine is especially designed for
those who knows a lot about films and wants to keep updated
in all the upcoming movies, celebrity interviews and what not.
There is a lot of demand of film magazines now a days as I
researched earlier. The film industry grown a lot over the years
and so there is a lot to look into.

4. 2. How does your product engage with audiences and how
would it be distributed as a real media text?
Well I guess the reason why its good to have a target
audience is because my audience will have something to look
into of their interest. Something they would really enjoy to read
and learn new stuff and this is what my magazine is all about.
My age category is 18-54 years old, but its not like that those
who are out of the age group are not meant to read the
magazine. Earlier I posted a questionnaire on my blogs asking
who would like to read a magazine whose genre is film and
there was a lot of good response and I guess more than
enough folks would like to see these type of magazines at
stores and stuff. As mentioned earlier that a lot has been
introduced over the years. People of my generation would
enjoy this a lot.

5. 3. How did your production skills
develop throughout this project?
I learned and discovered a lot when working on this project.
This whole experience was so cool. Not only did I learned
about a genre but also a lot of other things- to be creative
and all and to organize and represent your work to the
audience in the best way possible. At the very beginning we
made an account to show and tell people about our project.
We made different posts on our blogs telling separately about
our magazine development. Making a blog has been very
useful. Later we researched about our project. Again, we
learned a lot as we searched for my work that was to look for
similar magazines as mine. Finally to create the project we
used “Adobe Photoshop” as well as doing a photo shoot from
a DSLR.

6. 4. How did you integrate technologies-
software , hardware and online in this
project?
By using different hardware’s and software’s I’ve
learnt to do things differently. Learned different and
new things a lot which was really exciting when
developing this project, it was really fun doing this
as we learned new things in class and online.
Discovered a lot on Google. I was able to do a
similar research for my magazine and got a lot of
new information related to my project which was of
course really really helpful. I was able to gather a
lot of information related to my genre.
