This production is similar to my
proposed moving image in the way
that it is investigating and
educating people about street
style, but also combines this with a
fun, entertaining video.
The video uses a variety of different techniques to appeal to
its audience from interviews to investigations. This means
that boredom is kept to a minimum and therefore the video
becomes more interesting rather than just educational.
It clearly shows the areas in which
it’s investigating. This is exactly
what I would like to portray within
my own content – something that
is clear, accurate and concise. Also,
the narrator is young, urban and
expresses an interesting fashion
style herself making her an icon.
The video uses friendly and inviting
narrative style which is appealing
and will hold the interest of 12-18
year olds. In terms of content, its
kept light so the entertainment
purpose is not overcome by an
overuse of formal and strict
vocabulary.

The video is
planned to be in a
documentary style, to clearly
show that it’s investigating into
youth culture. In order to
visually represent this
effectively, it would be useful
to visit urban places where
people are inspired. This
includes Brick lane, Portobello
market, Oxford Street and
Camden Town.
1) A establishing shot to introduce the video,
showing people walking through the urban places
stated before. A possible voiceover introducing
documentary while the panned out camera shot is
shown with a duration of 15 seconds.
2) Another idea is to include
interviews in a studio one with
a 18 year old male and one 12
year old girl, both with a
‘street’ style. This will ensure
that both genders and all ages
can relate to what they say.
Different shots used include
close up, medium and long
shots with a duration 30
seconds.
3) In order to expand the
target audience, a series of
mini quick interviews with
teen shoppers around
London would be useful. A
pan of shops could
introduce the scene, with a
voiceover explaining the
video. Capturing them in
the environment which
they shop also provides a
linking aspect, and
provides visual cohesion.
close up shots would be
used here, with a duration
of 30 seconds
The celebration aspect would
be through showing the
individuality that people
express through clothing and
showing different style within
fashion that teenagers wear.

Survey Monkey – Quantitative data
In order to understand my audience, I started with a survey as it is a cheap, easy way of
gaining quantitative data. This allows me to easily compare and contrast results between
the ranging age groups and also provides a different type of data which I can compare to
my interviews (qualitative data.)
While constructing the questions for the survey, it proved difficult trying to keep the
questions closed and limited in the way that it can be answered. The process of re-writing
questions was lengthy as they had to be worded in understandable, sensitive ways.
I sent the survey out via email and social networking
sites, Facebook in particular, as 13-24 year olds
occupy nearly half of Facebook's users. This was the
easiest and most practical way to reach my
demographic of 12-18 year olds as they are the
primary users of the interview.
Although I sent the survey to 100 people there was a low response rate and the sample
size was just over 30 people. This is problematic as it may not be representative of my
whole audience, and making generalisations based on a sample of 30 people could raise
some issues of generalisations.
Denique Akinwumi 7
Research into target audience
To gain some basic info on the demographics of the
participants, this question was vital. At first glance, we
can see there were many more female respondents (18)
compared to the 12 male respondents. Due to a larger
portion of the surveys response being female, this makes
it harder to identify current fashion trends which are
current in male urban styles.
There is clearly a larger proportion of 17 year olds (13/30)
compared to only one 12 year old which means its harder
to make generalisations. Another problem is the ratio of ,
important to have a balance because of the very different
age groups. One of my main concerns is appealing to both
ends of the audience. Only representative of the my own
peers, so may only represent a certain ‘tribe’ or subculture
within the participants, issues of generalizability.
What is your gender?
How old are you?
Denique Akinwumi 8
Analysis of survey monkey results
In terms of content, which of these topics do you look for when buying a magazine?
This question was designed to find out which topic would
be most appealing to my audience, in order to successfully
target them.
As expected, fashion was the topic most looked for in
magazine content, which consolidated my original idea of
choosing a fashion-based video. 18 out of the 30
participants chose this to be a topic they would particularly
look for. This allowed me to gain some knowledge into other
topics which can be weaved into my video.
Music, beauty and health/lifestyle were the next set of
popular topics. This is interesting as music will play a part
in my video, so it may attract this age group even more
with the non-diegetic sounds which will be used
Home and garden was the least favourite topic, with only
2 participants showing interest in it. This genre is
specifically niche, so in turn will only attract a small
specific audience. Fashion however can appeal to a wider
market as it can appeal to most people.
However, we have to take into
consideration that 60% of participants
were female, so these results may be bias
towards only girls.
Denique Akinwumi 9
Analysis of survey monkey results
How would you prefer receiving information on a desired topic?
By asking the participants which medium would be
preferred when receiving information on a desired topic,
this question was vital in deciding which one would hold
the targeted audiences' attention. 17 out of the 30
participants said watching a video would be their
favourite way of receiving information, which
consolidated my original idea of choosing the moving
image brief. Listening to an audio is most popular within
older age groups, so the results were not surprising.
How would you describe the way you dress?
Most of the participants agreed that their style
is always changing and evolving, like the
trends of fashion. This means that i must show
a diverse, wide range of styles to suit the
audiences changing style, and represent this
through what the people are wearing in the
video. The least popular option was ‘I like to
wear what my friends are wearing’. This is why
I choose fashion as my topic as its unique to
youth an expresses individuality.Denique Akinwumi 10
Analysis of survey monkey results
How would you describe the way you dress?
Denique Akinwumi 11
Most participants said that there
‘style changes all the time’ when
asked how they would describe the
way the dressed. This is useful to
my moving image as it means I have
to show a wide range of different
styles to take this factor into
consideration
The second most popular option
was ‘I don’t think about what I
wear’. At first this may seem
problematic as it could mean that
fashion doesn't’t play a big part in
their lives, but it shows that fashion
reflects mood and personality
rather than trends and
expectations.

and accessories. Maybe dates of
fashion events
Interviews (cont.)
In order to draw final conclusions from my survey results, I
conducted 3 quick interviews. From the interviews it is obvious
that everyone has similar thoughts and ideas about fashion. Even
though the ages vary considerably, which I thought would be a
problem, it is now apparent that fashion can be applied similarly
to each and every person. Style seems to all be different
however the places where the actual clothing is purchased is
shared amongst the spectrum of ages.
Denique Akinwumi 13
Similar to my survey results, all 3 participants
said they use YouTube very often. This shows
that video’s are an attractive medium of
entertainment and information for young
people.

Stylistic considerations- Font ideas
These are some ideas showing the
font detail for my production. As
planned, text will be used to
introduce people, in the title of the
video and also to explain brief
parts so that the video can fit the
brief of between 1 and 3 minutes.
Denique Akinwumi 15
It is important that the text is in a
clear font so that all the range
spectrums find it easy to read. I
tried in incorporate this with
something pleasing to the eye,
and it will be consistent in order
to fit in with the housestyle,
professional design.
The font that I decide to do in my
final production will be something
which matches these ideas;
• Clear and consistent
• Visible
• Attractive
• Easy to read
Stylistic considerations – Music ideas
This aspect is difficult, the music is one of the most important aspects as it
evokes a mood for the overall production. In order to incorporate a positive vibe
to mirror the idea of celebrating youth culture, upbeat music is my chosen type.
Young people in general listen to all types of music (usually according to their
subculture) as far as genre goes. So, I’ve tried to choose universal songs which
all subcultures can find appealing.
‘SEX MACHINE’ BY
JAMES BROWN (1970)
this is an option as it
appeals to an
audience interested in
vintage culture. It is
also a well known
song but has a funky,
upbeat rhythm which
will set a positive
theme for my
production. Due to
parental advisory, an
instrumental version
would be used.
PAPER PLANES BY M.I.A (2007)
this is my first idea as it has an
urban beat to it which mirrors
the idea of ‘street’ style. It also
is a recent hit, and popular
amongst teens.
‘EXPRESS YOURSELF’ BY
LABRINTH (2012) this is an
popular song with a upbeat
rhythm. The lyrics are ideal for
the message which I want to be
conveyed of an expression
through fashion.
‘HAPPY’ BY PHARRELL (2014)
this song will reinforce the
‘happy’ message and
emphasis the idea of
celebration. It is a recent,
mainstream song and will also
appeal to the younger
spectrum of young people
who I find difficult to target.
READY FOR YOUR LOVE BY
GORGON CITY (2014) again, this
is a current song which a catchy
rhythm. Its genre is house,
which is becoming increasingly
popular within youth culture.Denique Akinwumi 16

Camcorder - Black
The camera is a compact camcorder which makes
it convenient for filming in busy places which my
production requires. There is also a powerful 34x
optical zoom which will ensure high-quality video
footage. The optical image stabiliser compensates
for camera shake which is useful for the parts
when a tripod cannot be used and delivers blur-
free results. It also saves content to memory
cards.
Kodak 16GB Multi-Use
SDHC Class 4 Memory
Card
The card also has a built-in erasure prevention
switch to ensure that your files can't be
accidentally deleted or overwritten. This is useful
in ensuring my footage is stored safely.
iMovie (editing
software)
Allows you to record voiceover. Easy import of
videos and straightforward means that it will be
simple to use as I have very little experience with
this programme.

'Your Times, Your Life'

  • 1. “Your task is to produce video content of between one and three minutes in duration for the e-magazine Your Times, Your Life. The video must be appropriate for the target audience of young people (12-18 years) and the theme of youth culture. The video could contain interviews, reports, investigations, dramatisations or any other relevant content” Your Times, Your Life Brief 1: Moving image Denique Akinwumi 1
  • 3. Research into similar media products (continued) Denique Akinwumi 3 https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=oW-ISq- -R0A This production is similar to my proposed moving image in the way that it is investigating and educating people about street style, but also combines this with a fun, entertaining video. The video uses a variety of different techniques to appeal to its audience from interviews to investigations. This means that boredom is kept to a minimum and therefore the video becomes more interesting rather than just educational. It clearly shows the areas in which it’s investigating. This is exactly what I would like to portray within my own content – something that is clear, accurate and concise. Also, the narrator is young, urban and expresses an interesting fashion style herself making her an icon. The video uses friendly and inviting narrative style which is appealing and will hold the interest of 12-18 year olds. In terms of content, its kept light so the entertainment purpose is not overcome by an overuse of formal and strict vocabulary.

  • 6. The video is planned to be in a documentary style, to clearly show that it’s investigating into youth culture. In order to visually represent this effectively, it would be useful to visit urban places where people are inspired. This includes Brick lane, Portobello market, Oxford Street and Camden Town. 1) A establishing shot to introduce the video, showing people walking through the urban places stated before. A possible voiceover introducing documentary while the panned out camera shot is shown with a duration of 15 seconds. 2) Another idea is to include interviews in a studio one with a 18 year old male and one 12 year old girl, both with a ‘street’ style. This will ensure that both genders and all ages can relate to what they say. Different shots used include close up, medium and long shots with a duration 30 seconds. 3) In order to expand the target audience, a series of mini quick interviews with teen shoppers around London would be useful. A pan of shops could introduce the scene, with a voiceover explaining the video. Capturing them in the environment which they shop also provides a linking aspect, and provides visual cohesion. close up shots would be used here, with a duration of 30 seconds The celebration aspect would be through showing the individuality that people express through clothing and showing different style within fashion that teenagers wear. Denique Akinwumi 6
  • 7. Survey Monkey – Quantitative data In order to understand my audience, I started with a survey as it is a cheap, easy way of gaining quantitative data. This allows me to easily compare and contrast results between the ranging age groups and also provides a different type of data which I can compare to my interviews (qualitative data.) While constructing the questions for the survey, it proved difficult trying to keep the questions closed and limited in the way that it can be answered. The process of re-writing questions was lengthy as they had to be worded in understandable, sensitive ways. I sent the survey out via email and social networking sites, Facebook in particular, as 13-24 year olds occupy nearly half of Facebook's users. This was the easiest and most practical way to reach my demographic of 12-18 year olds as they are the primary users of the interview. Although I sent the survey to 100 people there was a low response rate and the sample size was just over 30 people. This is problematic as it may not be representative of my whole audience, and making generalisations based on a sample of 30 people could raise some issues of generalisations. Denique Akinwumi 7
  • 8. Research into target audience To gain some basic info on the demographics of the participants, this question was vital. At first glance, we can see there were many more female respondents (18) compared to the 12 male respondents. Due to a larger portion of the surveys response being female, this makes it harder to identify current fashion trends which are current in male urban styles. There is clearly a larger proportion of 17 year olds (13/30) compared to only one 12 year old which means its harder to make generalisations. Another problem is the ratio of , important to have a balance because of the very different age groups. One of my main concerns is appealing to both ends of the audience. Only representative of the my own peers, so may only represent a certain ‘tribe’ or subculture within the participants, issues of generalizability. What is your gender? How old are you? Denique Akinwumi 8
  • 9. Analysis of survey monkey results In terms of content, which of these topics do you look for when buying a magazine? This question was designed to find out which topic would be most appealing to my audience, in order to successfully target them. As expected, fashion was the topic most looked for in magazine content, which consolidated my original idea of choosing a fashion-based video. 18 out of the 30 participants chose this to be a topic they would particularly look for. This allowed me to gain some knowledge into other topics which can be weaved into my video. Music, beauty and health/lifestyle were the next set of popular topics. This is interesting as music will play a part in my video, so it may attract this age group even more with the non-diegetic sounds which will be used Home and garden was the least favourite topic, with only 2 participants showing interest in it. This genre is specifically niche, so in turn will only attract a small specific audience. Fashion however can appeal to a wider market as it can appeal to most people. However, we have to take into consideration that 60% of participants were female, so these results may be bias towards only girls. Denique Akinwumi 9
  • 10. Analysis of survey monkey results How would you prefer receiving information on a desired topic? By asking the participants which medium would be preferred when receiving information on a desired topic, this question was vital in deciding which one would hold the targeted audiences' attention. 17 out of the 30 participants said watching a video would be their favourite way of receiving information, which consolidated my original idea of choosing the moving image brief. Listening to an audio is most popular within older age groups, so the results were not surprising. How would you describe the way you dress? Most of the participants agreed that their style is always changing and evolving, like the trends of fashion. This means that i must show a diverse, wide range of styles to suit the audiences changing style, and represent this through what the people are wearing in the video. The least popular option was ‘I like to wear what my friends are wearing’. This is why I choose fashion as my topic as its unique to youth an expresses individuality.Denique Akinwumi 10
  • 11. Analysis of survey monkey results How would you describe the way you dress? Denique Akinwumi 11 Most participants said that there ‘style changes all the time’ when asked how they would describe the way the dressed. This is useful to my moving image as it means I have to show a wide range of different styles to take this factor into consideration The second most popular option was ‘I don’t think about what I wear’. At first this may seem problematic as it could mean that fashion doesn't’t play a big part in their lives, but it shows that fashion reflects mood and personality rather than trends and expectations.
  • 12. Interviews – Qualitative data What is your name? Bela Hoxha How old are you? 18 Do you have a fashion inspiration, if so where does it come from? I do not have a specific fashion inspiration but I do read fashion magazines and take an interest in what celebrities wear. I think my main inspirations are my friends and people around me. How would you describe the way you dress? Feminine and chic How often do you use YouTube directly? At least once a day Do you believe fashion plays a big part in teenage life? I think that it defiantly does, I think that fashion is a huge statement that defines who we are; fashion can say a lot about our personality and at the same time I think that fashion brings confidence. Where's your favourite places to shop for clothes? High street retail shops such as Top Shop, Miss Selfridge, Zara I am going to create a video on the theme of fashion, what do you want to see in the video? I would be interested in knowing about the latest trends What is your name? Noah Gee How old are you? 17 Do you have a fashion inspiration, if so where does it come from? Its Mostly from Rap culture, I like the way ASAP mob and Mac Miller dress. Oh and also Schoolboy Q! How would you describe the way you dress? Quite mainstream How often do you use YouTube directly? Nearly everyday Do you believe fashion plays a big part in teenage life? Yeah, defiantly Where’s your favourite places to shop for clothes? It ranges, I don’t really have a favourite store, I don’t really spend a lot on clothes but I love sample sales I am going to create a video on the theme of fashion, what do you want to see in the video? New upcoming London or UK brands e.g. Underated Co. Denique Akinwumi 12 What is your name? Katie Coles How old are you? 14 Do you have a fashion inspiration, if so where does it come from? Yes, I love the way little mix ( a girl band) dress, I think what they wear is cool. How would you describe the way you dress? I normally wear skirts, shorts and colourful tops. I don’t really think about what I wear but my and my friends dress very similar. How often do you use YouTube directly? I use it everyday to listen to music. Do you believe fashion plays a big part in teenage life? Yes of course, Why? Because I think that we’re judged by our clothing and what we wear. Where’s your favourite places to shop for clothes? Normally cheap places like H&M, Primark and sometimes Topshop when I have saved my pocket money I am going to create a video on the theme of fashion, what do you want to see in the video? Loads of the latest fashion trends and offers on clothes and accessories. Maybe dates of fashion events
  • 13. Interviews (cont.) In order to draw final conclusions from my survey results, I conducted 3 quick interviews. From the interviews it is obvious that everyone has similar thoughts and ideas about fashion. Even though the ages vary considerably, which I thought would be a problem, it is now apparent that fashion can be applied similarly to each and every person. Style seems to all be different however the places where the actual clothing is purchased is shared amongst the spectrum of ages. Denique Akinwumi 13 Similar to my survey results, all 3 participants said they use YouTube very often. This shows that video’s are an attractive medium of entertainment and information for young people.
  • 15. Stylistic considerations- Font ideas These are some ideas showing the font detail for my production. As planned, text will be used to introduce people, in the title of the video and also to explain brief parts so that the video can fit the brief of between 1 and 3 minutes. Denique Akinwumi 15 It is important that the text is in a clear font so that all the range spectrums find it easy to read. I tried in incorporate this with something pleasing to the eye, and it will be consistent in order to fit in with the housestyle, professional design. The font that I decide to do in my final production will be something which matches these ideas; • Clear and consistent • Visible • Attractive • Easy to read
  • 16. Stylistic considerations – Music ideas This aspect is difficult, the music is one of the most important aspects as it evokes a mood for the overall production. In order to incorporate a positive vibe to mirror the idea of celebrating youth culture, upbeat music is my chosen type. Young people in general listen to all types of music (usually according to their subculture) as far as genre goes. So, I’ve tried to choose universal songs which all subcultures can find appealing. ‘SEX MACHINE’ BY JAMES BROWN (1970) this is an option as it appeals to an audience interested in vintage culture. It is also a well known song but has a funky, upbeat rhythm which will set a positive theme for my production. Due to parental advisory, an instrumental version would be used. PAPER PLANES BY M.I.A (2007) this is my first idea as it has an urban beat to it which mirrors the idea of ‘street’ style. It also is a recent hit, and popular amongst teens. ‘EXPRESS YOURSELF’ BY LABRINTH (2012) this is an popular song with a upbeat rhythm. The lyrics are ideal for the message which I want to be conveyed of an expression through fashion. ‘HAPPY’ BY PHARRELL (2014) this song will reinforce the ‘happy’ message and emphasis the idea of celebration. It is a recent, mainstream song and will also appeal to the younger spectrum of young people who I find difficult to target. READY FOR YOUR LOVE BY GORGON CITY (2014) again, this is a current song which a catchy rhythm. Its genre is house, which is becoming increasingly popular within youth culture.Denique Akinwumi 16
  • 17. Analysis of Technical programmes and equipment Denique Akinwumi 17 Name Analysis Panasonic Hc-V100 High Definition Camcorder - Black The camera is a compact camcorder which makes it convenient for filming in busy places which my production requires. There is also a powerful 34x optical zoom which will ensure high-quality video footage. The optical image stabiliser compensates for camera shake which is useful for the parts when a tripod cannot be used and delivers blur- free results. It also saves content to memory cards. Kodak 16GB Multi-Use SDHC Class 4 Memory Card The card also has a built-in erasure prevention switch to ensure that your files can't be accidentally deleted or overwritten. This is useful in ensuring my footage is stored safely. iMovie (editing software) Allows you to record voiceover. Easy import of videos and straightforward means that it will be simple to use as I have very little experience with this programme.
