Week 3 already! Last week was all mainly about gathering research for my magazine from people who I am aiming it to be towards (6 formers) It has been quite productive, I created a questionnaire on word for my target market and gave it to 20 individuals from the ages of 16-18 based upon themselves as well as magazines and 6form itself. This was to allow me to collect data to enable my school magazine to be effective and appealing. I then collected my results and using infogram I put the data into different chart formats depending on the question itself. This was a lot easier to see and understand the data and compare it to how the other results varied. This was quite a long task as it required a different chart for each question however I finally finished it. So that was all for last week come back next week for more updates. Byeeee!

I'm back! Week 2 of media went well I researched colour psychology and what each colour represented for example red being associated with both anger and love which are complete opposites. It was quite good to also understand the effort that goes into creating magazine covers and how the designers create a cover to present a particular visual image to convey to people. So I done this by comparing 2 different school magazines. Last week I done quite a lot so I then found a music video and attempted to identify a variety of different camera angles which allowed me to understand what effect it gives when watching the video. The last thing I done last week was contribute to a mind map full of ideas of magazine topic ideas. This was interesting to do because first I put all of my ideas onto paper and then I found a website called 'Coggle' which allowed me to brainstorm and expand my ideas. So that was all for last week. I will update you guys next week. Byeeee!

My first week of media is over and so far I really like it! I've learnt about Demographics and the idea of categorising individuals into 7 different groups depending on factors like pay. I further looked at Psychographics which places people into groups depending on their interest and attitudes. This was quite interesting to understand how people study individuals' behavior and patterns. Next week I am going to attempt to identify different camera angle and understand why they are used. I will update you guys next week about how much I'm enjoying media. Byeeee!
