3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I think my magazine would be distributed via the internet because it is quite specialist so shops wouldn’t want to stock it as they would not sell them all. Also because it can be issued at various points throughout the year people can order a subscription and have it delivered to them specially. People who want to read the magazine would know where to get it from because they would mix with other musicians who would be interested in it.
4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
My audience would be classical musicians who want to know more about their idols and what they are doing as well as events they can take part in. I don’t feel there is a particular age limit as classical music can be enjoyed by people of all ages however this particular issue would probably be targeted more at younger musicians of the ages 16- 25 because it talks about a younger musician and her success.
5. How did you attract/address your audience?
I attracted my audience by using a colour and font that is not identified with a particular gender or age range. I also chose to have a variety of stories on the front cover that would attract a range of people.
6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt that it is easiest to edit pictures in Photoshop and then add them into publisher to insert the text and work on the page layout.
7. Looking back at your preliminary task [the school magazine], what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
I feel I have learnt more about the mise-en-scene of a magazine and the effect it can have on an audience. I also learnt that it is important to continue a theme throughout the magazine by using the same colour scheme and fonts throughout.
