Week 5

1.      In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? The background of colour of my front cover magazine is a picture of myself this is very much like other college magazine who base their whole magazine on the students. i challenged the forms of real media product magazine by having a main picture of myself being a student which I done so it can stand out to other students. I used a colour scheme of black & pink and a bit of yellow so it sticks in the students head because it's noticeable. Also I used bold text which stands out unlike the real media products they normally go for fancy text and small fonts to fit it more pictures on their front cover. 

I took Inspiration from this front cover magazine.

    

 2. How does your media product represent particular social groups? My college magazine applies to all the students that are in full time education from the age of sixteen to eighteen. It doesn't represent any social groups but all students who are interested in all the latest school news and all the students who want to know what's new in the SFX College.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? My school magazine may be distributed in the school LRC (Library). My magazine could also be uploaded online so students can get hold of it when they are at home. This is because it’s a school magazine for the students so it has to be established around the school so they can be kept up to date with all the latest news.

4. Who would be the audience for your media product? The audience for my school magazine would be both female and male students who are currently in college between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years old and who are interested in the latest news about SFX College. An example of one of my audience member’s. A young man called ‘Kareem’ he enjoys doing athletics and enjoys partying so my magazine would be perfect for him as he loves sports and social events and parts of my magazine are based on that.
