Evaulation (question 3 & 7

Evalution question 3 &7 3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? Because my magazine is based on R&B and Hip-Hop, it would be published by the same distribution as Vybz's magazine which is Len Bernett. This is because as a publishing company they are highly successful and recognised in the industry. They have a large portfolio reaching over 19 million consumers per month. Founded by producer Quincy Jones in 1993, the publication predominantly features R&B and hip-hop music artists, actors and other entertainers. My magazine would be the company’s first music magazine that appeals to R&B/Hip-Hop music and would gain a lot of publicity because of this. 7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? I think that looking at my college magazine; it is not as sophisticated and professional as my music magazine, this is because I had done a lot of research in between that time and also used my newsstand and case studies to inspire me. I also had more knowledge about camera, lighting colour schemes and shot types while doing my music magazine which was a huge advantage. I also think I have learnt a lot more about planning and improvisation. During the preliminary task I planned a lot with the software I knew about but not that much with the software that I didn’t know about. This meant that I had to rush and improvise with certain parts of the tasks. I now know that everything needs to be planned before it is done so that you can work easier, although some things can be improvised such as models at a photo shoot. I have learnt that planning creates more effective work because you can also have it critiqued and be able to improve it before. Discovering my target audience also had an impact on my music magazine because it help me understand what certain age groups are more interested in, it also helped me with the photography and how I wanted the models to look and act.
