Time Management 30/09/16

In todays lesson I will complete two tasks.
I will look at completing my audience profiles and my photoshoot and organization replies from the studio.

Update
I have completed my photoshoot organization and I am now ready to visit the studio and take my images.

Audience Profile

\

Here is my audience profile and moodboard in relation to my results. Doing this task has allowed me to refine my ideas in relation to my product due to the very specific and detailed survey questions I asked. The results will help me to better my final products and will help me throughout my construction stages. Putting them all together into a profile as I have allowed me to sumarise and present my results in an easy to read yet creative look, similar to NME magazine's own audience profiles. Doing this gave me a better insight into who my target audience was and how I can better target my products towards them.

Color Inspirations - Secondary

Here I have explored secondary colors in relation to my different lifestyle categories. By using search engines such as google and pinterest I was able to determine the colors most associated with the different categories and decide which are out appropriate for my magazine and why, trying to keep gender neutral colors to attract the biggest audience possible whilst still keeping them relevant to their category.

Time Management 26/09/16

In today lesson I aim to complete a few tasks.
I will make a start on my audience profiles.
I will also explore color inspirations for my magazine, looking at secondary colors and why I will use them to represent different things.
I will also update my time management calendar.

I have completed my color inspirations and time management calendar but was unable to complete my audience profile because I am still waiting for survey results. The secondary color information was helpful as I now know which colors represent the different categories of my magazine. The calendar also allows me to keep check of what is complete and what is not.

Time Management 23/09/16

In todays lesson I will aim to complete a number of small tasks.

I will further expand on my photoshoot and the permission, emailing the head of department to organise a studio date.
I will also create a script ready for my Target Audience interview.
I will also ask friends Via social media for their opinions on a a regional magazine.

In todays lesson I have achieved all three of the tasks.

Photoshoot & Studio Organisation

Here is more work in regards to my photoshoot. I have so far emailed my college lecture and head of department Joanne, organising a date and time for my possible photoshoot in the studio. In the email (seen in the powerpoint) I have detailed why and when this would need to take place and what I require on the day. Currently I am waiting for a response and will update this once she has confirmed the day and time.

*UPDATE*

Target Audience Survey

 

Here is my survey I have created in an effort to discover more about my potential target audience. This, accompanied with an interview will give me a better insight into my target audience and who they are. I will upload the results of this survey at a later date.  

On reflection of my survey I became aware I had forgot to add a gender section to the questions, fortunately I remembered this as it is one of the most important questions. Here is the updated page.

Organise time management section.


Look at primary and secondary target audience and upload to blogger.


Then look at interview questions and storyboard too.

Storyboard Interview & Interview Questions

Here is the interview deconstruction. I have looked at a number of different shots, angles and Mise En Scene techniques used throughout the interview. I will replicate a number of these features within my own work in an effort to create a sophisticated and creative interview. Looking at the interview I noticed that the camera switches between only 3 major angles, a two shot mid shot, a single mid shot of the interviewee or a over the shoulder shot. These are used because they allow us to see the interview from as if we were audience members. The shots allow us to see in detail the interview and what is going on. I also noticed the interview sticks with the 180 degree rule, meaning the camera is always on the left of the two gentlemen. Without this the interview can become confusing and it looks unprofessional. I have also looked at potential interview questions. This is good for preparation, ready for the actual interview.

Photoshoot Organisation

Here I have outlined a number of factors in relation to my final photoshoot. I have looked at a number of different factors including lighting, location, props and a series of other important planning procedures.

Draft Images

Here are some draft images I feel may be appropriate for my magazine, billboard and website. The images different between professional, casual and a more creative and fantasy style. I feel that because of the regional backgrounds of many of them they would be particularly useful. For my actual proper shoot I shall visit more locations for the images too.

Website Inspirations

Here I have looked at 3 websites I find most inspiring in terms of what I'd like to replicate in my own work. The websites all have similar features and go well together.

Billboard Inspirations

Magazine Competition

Here I have looked at who I believe are my two biggest magazine competitors. One is regional and the other national, meaning they both compete in different ways but are equally as opposing and challenging.

Magazine Inspirations

These are the magazines that inspire me most. I particularly like The Crack, a regional magazine similar to my own ideas.

Location Scout

Photoshoot locations from kylejohntaylor

Here I have looked at the locations I would like to use in my work for photo shoots and general photography. The areas are regional specific and allow me to appeal to a regional and specific audience.
