Photoshoot Reflection

The Photoshoot section of my research and planning allowed me to record the organisation and progression of my final photoshoot. The section shows my development through the pre-production of my images and my ideas leading up to it to it and the photoshoot its self. The section was helpful as it allowed me to organise my photoshoot with my model and the studio and reflect on my images which I had planned previously in the section.

Time Management Reflection

The time management section was important for practical reasons. The section allowed me to record the progress of my work whist also setting targets for myself to achieve on a monthly basis through the calendar. The section meant there was a recording of my progress through the planning, production and eventual evaluation stages of my work.

Similar Product Reflections

Similar products was a section similar to the inspirations. The section explored products which were similar to my own as well as institutions which could potentially promote my brand. Within there are a lot of magazine comparisons which allowed me to form my ideas based on already existing and successful products, creating something with inspirations based on other products but also developing on those conventions to create my own unique products which could compete against these.

Potential Target Audience Reflection

The potential target audience section of my planning was one of the most important sections. The section was an exploration and insight into who my target audience was and what they wanted from a regional product. Without this section and the explorations within I would of been unable to complete and create a successful media product with a specific target audience in mind. It involves a number of surveys and interviews direct with my audience, finding out exactly what they wanted from a regional product so that I would tailor my work towards the appropriate audience.

Other Images

Media images from kylejohntaylor

Here I have gone through some of the images which featured in my media product, those which were not directly taken as part of my advanced portfolio but which I decided to feature as they were relevant to my genres, product and regional aspect.

Inspirations Reflection

Doing the inspirations section of my research and planning was an opportunity for me to explore different options I could use when creating my product. The section allowed me to discover the variables about regional magazines/products and magazines/media products in general. It is also an exploration of the progression of my magazine. Within the section you can see my exploration into different sections of my ancillary and main task, it is a recording of my inspirations and progression as I created my products.

Flat Plans & Rationals Reflection

Doing the flat plans and rationales section was almost like creating a guide for myself in which I was meant to follow. The flat plans gave me a literal shape to follow whilst the rational was a more in depth deconstruction which I would follow.
