Question 4
The document discusses the various media technologies used at different stages of creating a project on eating disorders. In the research and planning stages, the internet provided useful websites for facts and statistics. YouTube also aided research by finding similar documentaries. PowerPoint, Word, and Excel were used to record and present findings from questionnaires and surveys. Photoshop and InDesign helped design the double page spread. The blog platform allowed storing and sharing work. Final Cut Express and GarageBand were used to edit video recordings, add transitions, and create background music for the documentary.
Codes and conventions of interviews
This document outlines some common codes and conventions for filming interviews. It recommends framing the interviewee on either the left or right third of the screen according to the rule of thirds. Mid shots, medium close ups, and close ups are the expected shot types. For important interviewees, their name and status should appear in the lower third of the screen. The background or mise-en-scene should reflect the interviewee's profession or enhance their status. The author then discusses applying these conventions in their own documentary by having a science teacher wear a lab coat and interviewing a media teacher in a computer room with a mac.
Exploring documentaries
The document analyzes the genre of documentaries. It begins by defining documentaries as informative films or television programs focused on presenting facts about political, historical or social issues. It then discusses several documentary conventions like reconstructions, actual footage, interviews and voiceovers. It also examines specific documentary types like direct cinema and docusoaps. Finally, it outlines Bill Nichols' documentary modes which classify styles based on conventions like observational modes with hidden filmmakers or reflective modes that show the film production process.
Common radio trail conventions
The document outlines common elements and conventions of radio trails, which are typically 30-45 seconds and air at the end of a radio show to promote an upcoming program. Radio trails usually include instrumental music and address the audience directly using the pronoun "you" to capture their attention. They also commonly state the time, date, and channel of the featured program and have a narrator whose tone of voice matches the target audience of the show.
Documentary script (voice over version)
This document summarizes an investigation into eating disorders among young people. It discusses the influence of body image pressures and media portrayals of thin celebrities on attitudes towards the "perfect figure." Interviews at a college found that most students believe in a perfect figure and define it by slim celebrities. A teacher comments that unrealistic media goals can distort opinions. The document also profiles binge eating disorder, discussing signs, prevalence among teens, and importance of treatment. Upcoming interviews will discuss effects of under eating and experiences supporting students with eating disorders.
Audience research questionnaire
The document is an audience research questionnaire that asks respondents about their demographics, viewing preferences, social class, parents' socio-economic profile, and psychological profile. It also asks about the respondent's general knowledge of eating disorders and their interest in a documentary about eating disorders.
Introduction for the script
This documentary introduction summarizes that the program will investigate eating disorders among young people by exploring body image pressures and the dangerous pursuit of the "perfect figure." It will do so through examining clips and segments from the full documentary, which seeks to uncover the truth behind eating disorders and what types of societal influences drive the obsession to achieve an unrealistic body standard.
actual Diary
The students were not allowed to film inside the local shopping centre for their documentary project. Instead, they filmed exterior footage and B-roll shots to introduce the documentary. They also recorded student interviews, teacher experts, and exterior shots of the college. Additionally, they filmed themselves writing statistics about eating disorders to overlay audio during editing.

Final Diary
This week the student filmmakers were not allowed to film inside the local shopping centre for their documentary project so they filmed outside footage instead. They also filmed shots inside the college refectory and recorded themselves writing statistics about eating disorders to include in the project. They hope to edit out sound from the refectory shots to add facts and statistics. The students got a lot accomplished, filming more student interviews, teacher interviews, and exterior shots of the college.
Filming Diary
The document discusses filming student interviews and shots inside the college refectory this week to focus on a project. They hope to edit out sound from the refectory footage to add facts and statistics. A conversation is occurring between Whitney, Kirsty, and Beth about the project filming.
Tasks 5 and 6 pop genre
The document discusses elements associated with the pop music genre that could be incorporated into a pop music magazine. It identifies similar existing magazines focused on pop music as references. Key elements that may be drawn from these sources and the genre itself include using bright colors on the cover; including articles on pop music, fashion, and gossip; having a concise masthead; and featuring popular artists like Cheryl Cole, Jessie J, and One Direction. Common imagery associated with pop music discussed are modern styles of clothing and hair for both female and male artists, as well as the use of bright colors, dancing, and upbeat subject matter in music videos and album covers.
Task 7
Top of the Pops magazine would be an appropriate choice for the genre of music the document's author has chosen for their coursework. Published by BBC magazines since 1995, Top of the Pops targets teenage girls with its branding, colors, and content. BBC magazines is a renowned and successful publisher known for magazines catering to diverse audiences, demonstrating it would be a fitting publisher for the author's intended magazine.
Task 4
IPC has a long history of publishing magazines targeted at different audiences, including women's magazines in the early 1900s, music and TV magazines in the 1950s as technology advanced, and men's magazines like football publications in the 1960s. IPC would be a suitable publisher for a new music magazine due to their expertise gained over many years releasing new magazines and ability to tailor magazines to specific target audiences, as shown by their publication of New Music Express focused on popular music and rock.
Contents
The document analyzes the layout, design elements, and stylistic choices used in the contents pages of different magazines to convey information about the target audience. It finds that a classical music magazine uses traditional fonts and colors to appeal to an older audience, while a pop magazine features bright colors, young celebrities, and an informal tone aligned with its younger, female readership. In contrast, a rock magazine employs darker colors, rebellious fonts, and layouts that suggest its target audience prefers non-conformity associated with that music genre. Overall, the document examines how magazines use visual cues and semiotics to represent and connect with their intended demographic.
Double page spread analysis
The document analyzes different elements of magazine spreads and how they appeal to target audiences. It discusses how headlines, fonts, images, and pull quotes are used to grab attention and convey information about the genre of music and social class of readers. Specifically, bold sans serif fonts and youthful illustrations target younger pop fans, while traditional black fonts and classical images aim for an older middle/upper class audience interested in genres like rock and classical music. Color schemes, angles of photos, and language formality are also used to connect with different gender and class groups.
Task 1, Cover Analysis
The document analyzes the covers of two magazines - BBC Music magazine and Top of the Pops magazine - to determine the target audiences of each. BBC Music targets a middle-aged, middle-to-upper class audience interested in classical music artists. Top of the Pops targets a younger, working class audience interested in pop music artists. Both magazine covers use images, colors, fonts and cover lines to appeal to their specific target demographics.
