Nme analysis
The NME contents page effectively includes all standard features while maintaining the magazine's house style through its use of bold black, white, and red colors. Band names are listed simply in black and red, subheadings are blocked in black, and page numbers are in red. Photographs and text are placed on what looks like a suitcase side, reinforcing the "holiday" theme of exploring music. An editor's note provides personal insight into the magazine's stories.
Evaluation question 1
The document compares the student's media product to real magazine conventions and forms.
The student follows conventions for magazine elements like the front cover, contents page, and double page spread. On the front cover, they include the issue date, price, masthead, cover lines highlighting features. Their contents page lists contents alphabetically and uses color and formatting consistently. The double page spread includes a large headline, image, and multiple columns of text in an interview format. Throughout, the student maintains colors and fonts that tie the magazine together visually as a cohesive product.
Front Pages Annotations
This magazine cover features an exclusive interview with a music artist who recently passed away. The large masthead and bold cover lines are designed to attract readers' attention. The main image takes up most of the cover space, focusing on the featured story. Additional articles advertised include an update on a feud between two well-known musicians. The design prioritizes making the most important elements, such as the masthead, cover lines, page numbers and main image, clearly stand out against plain backgrounds.
.
The masthead uses three of the magazine's main colors which are presented throughout the cover to stand out. It is bold and eye-catching due to its blocky, capitalized style. The main image depicts two angry-looking men incorporating the magazine's colors, with props suggesting wealth and maturity to appeal to an 18-24 audience. Overall the cover uses contrasting colors like red and white to draw attention and portray different emotions related to the stories.
Textual analysis
The magazine uses bright colors and eye-catching text on the cover to draw readers in. However, the double page spread is quite dark and bland. Overall, the magazine aims to represent club culture through its language, images of DJs and club-goers, and focus on electronic music. However, some pages could be livened up with more colorful designs.

Questionaire
The document is a survey that asks respondents questions about their gender, age, music listening habits, favorite music genres, opinions on music videos, preferred music video types, interest in hybrid genres, willingness to pay to view music videos, and payment amount. It collects demographic information and gauges preferences related to music and music videos.
Music video market research finished
- The document discusses market research conducted by Abbey Moss to help decide factors for a music video they plan to produce. A survey of 10 college students provided results about preferences for genres, concepts, and willingness to pay.
- Based on the results, the music video will be aimed at males ages 17-19 and feature rock music and performance concepts. Over half of respondents said they would pay between £1-5 for a music video.
- Abbey Moss will use the results to decide how to theme, style, and potentially monetize the music video to best appeal to the target demographic identified in the market research.
Question 1
1) The student and their partner decided to create a music video for the Nickelback song "Rockstar" using three local Manchester locations that were familiar and populated.
2) They chose to dress extras in everyday casual clothing and not use props to make the video seem more realistic and fit with the genre of rock music.
3) The video uses a variety of camera shots including close-ups, medium shots, and long shots to show singers emulating rockstars and involve local people to show anyone can be a rockstar. It breaks conventions by not following a linear narrative and cutting between different scenes and locations.

The questions asked participants what they liked about the video, what could be improved, whether it seemed similar to other music videos, what else could appear in the video, who the target audience seemed to be, and what, if any, features were overused. Responses from a Facebook feedback group would be screenshot and included directly in an evaluation to make the feedback more trustworthy and directly address the questions asked.
Music video questionnaire
This music video questionnaire asks respondents for their gender, age group, favorite music genre, occupation, monthly income, where they watch music videos, how much they would pay to buy a music video, if they prefer a hybrid genre, and their favorite type of music video. It collects demographic information and preferences about music video consumption to gain insights from audiences.
Music video market research
Brandon Fry conducted market research through surveys to inform the creation of a music video. The surveys asked about gender, age, music preferences, income, and how people consume music videos. Most respondents were young adults and male. Over half preferred dance and rap music genres. Most watch music videos on TV and would pay under £5. The majority preferred a hybrid genre and performance-style video. This research will influence Brandon to create a mainstream, performance-based music video costing under £5 targeted at young adults.
Evaluation question 1 word
The media product being summarized is a music video. It uses several conventions of real music videos, such as typical locations like a character's house and club. However, it also challenges conventions with unusual costumes and props. A variety of camera shots are used, as is typical in dance music videos. The editing cuts between scenes and times the visuals to the music. The narrative follows a linear sequence of friends preparing for a night out and then returning home. While it focuses more on the preparation than being in the club, as do many dance videos. Character introductions are also uncommon in the genre.

Audience theory
This document discusses several theories of audience reception of media texts:
1. The Hypodermic Model suggests audiences passively receive information from media without processing or challenging it.
2. Two Step Flow Theory asserts that information moves from media to opinion leaders who influence their followers.
3. Uses and Gratifications Theory states that individuals choose media texts for diversion, relationships, identity, and information.
4. Encoding/Decoding Theory argues meaning is created between text and audience, who can take preferred, negotiated, or oppositional readings based on their own experiences.

Exam preparation
The document discusses a coursework assignment to evaluate a music production in relation to genre concepts. Specifically, it summarizes the author's creation of a CD cover called "DiscoLights" by "Hungarian Mansion Dealers", intended to represent a dance music genre. The summary explores various genre theories and how they are represented through technical elements, iconography, mise-en-scene, and characters on the CD cover. Repetition of dance music conventions and stereotypes are used to appeal to the target audience, according to the theories of Neale and others.
Exam preparation
Brandon Fry has created a CD cover called "DiscoLights" by "Hungarian Mansion Dealers" to evaluate in relation to music genre concepts. The cover uses stereotypical design elements of dance music genres, such as a black background with large bold grey text. While simple compared to pop albums, these design choices will appeal specifically to dance music audiences by playing on expectations of the genre through repetition of conventions. No props, settings, costumes, or characters are depicted on the cover, as is common for dance music, allowing the music to be the focus without symbolic elements that could distract from the genre.
Music video analysis
The document provides an analysis of three music videos:
1. Beyoncé's "Best Thing I Never Had" video tells a narrative story through flashbacks of Beyoncé's past relationship and her current wedding. Symbolic props like flowers, rings and wedding attire are used to represent themes of innocence and marriage.
2. Green Day's "21 Guns" video features both a performance by the band and a narrative story of a young couple. Props like bullets and the band's instruments conform to genre expectations, while the dark tone and messy setting provide contrast.
3. Eminem's "Without Me" video is analyzed but no details are provided about its conventions.

The black and white color scheme stands out despite lacking bright colors, with the white text contrasting against the black background.
