Evaluation
My media product uses forms and conventions of real magazines by including a traditional columned article format and accompanying picture. It develops on these conventions by using varied colors and fonts to make the contents page more visually appealing and relaxed compared to other magazines. The front cover challenges conventions by employing an ergonomic uncluttered layout to stand out while maintaining a clean precise look.
Q1 evaluation
The media product develops conventions of real media products like Vibe magazine by including elements such as a barcode, masthead, selling line, and issue number on the front cover. Images on the cover were also developed to resemble real magazine covers using techniques to improve quality. However, the media product challenges conventions by arranging smaller images in an anti-clockwise position on double page spreads, making it a bit unique compared to typical real media products.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product of a music magazine uses conventions of real music magazines. It describes including typical features like mastheads, pull quotes, and body copy to match publishing standards. It also discusses developing conventions further by applying audience feedback to tailor the style and content to the target readership.

Our group created a promotion package for a new horror film that included a teaser trailer, magazine front cover, and poster. For the poster and magazine cover, we drew inspiration from existing horror media like The Blair Witch Project to incorporate genre conventions such as ominous woods settings and filters implying supernatural elements.

All three pieces featured a consistent color scheme and connected the film's narrative without revealing too much to create intrigue.
Job Satisfaction of School Teachers
This document summarizes a research paper about job satisfaction among primary school teachers in rural northwest China. It examines factors that contribute to teacher satisfaction such as community resources, school environment, and teacher characteristics. The researchers hypothesize that teachers are more satisfied in communities with greater economic resources and less remote locations. They also hypothesize that teachers are more satisfied in schools with better resources, larger size, opportunities for advancement, lighter workloads, and experienced leadership. Younger, male, unmarried teachers and those with more education may be less satisfied, while teachers more similar to the local community may be more satisfied. The study uses survey data from rural Gansu province, one of China's poorest areas, to analyze teacher job satisfaction.

Evaluation powerpoint
The document describes Sophie Kirby's media product evaluation of a magazine she created aimed at young hip-hop fans. She did extensive research on existing magazines to inform her own design. While hip-hop is sometimes linked to violence, her magazine portrayed the featured female artist in a positive light without references to guns or violence. Based on feedback, she made some changes between her planning and final product, such as using a simpler font and blue color scheme instead of red to appear more professional and avoid associations with violence.

- 2. In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge form and conventions of real media products?
- 3. My media product used the conventions of real media texts: I achieved this through the research stages pre my production. Through having a good understanding of what the conventions of real media texts were I was able to then follow these and conform to the conventional expectations of my audience. The use of these conventions assisted me in keeping a high sense of authenticity in my product.
- 4. I conformed to these conventions: I conformed to the conventions of the real media texts as opposed to subverting away from them because I wanted to keep an authentic realistic feel to my product and I felt the most efficient way to do this was to stay within the codes and conventions the products I researched.
- 5. How I did this specifically in my magazine: In my magazine I did this through following the same font hierarchies and colour schemes as the real media texts I had researched. I kept what I included on my front cover fairly similar to what I say was included on the magazines I read. The language I used I also kept similar so that my product could appeal to the right target audience.
- 6. How I did this specifically in my poster: There were not many posters I could find for new soaps so I had to alter what I researched and apply it to my brief. I used a reality TV show called ‘The only way is Essex’s’ to base my product on. I felt this was appropriate because It had the same target audience and had similar themes that I incorporated into my product. Things such as the lay out and style of ‘The only way is Essex’s’ poster I used to conform to the conventions I thought would be applicable to my poster.
- 7. How I did this specifically in my trailer: I conformed to the conventions of soap trailers through the editing and theme in my trailer. The editing was quick to keep a young audience active and hold their attention. The theme incorporating drugs and things that would relate to my target audience would also help were similar to that of real media texts.
- 8. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts
