Progression throughout the project.

Comparison with prelimiary task.

As you can see i have improved the name of the magazine to fit the genre, each of the sell lines are now related to an"R&B" theme, not like the preliminary task.
By experimenting with both a compact digital camera which i used to take the original picture of the young girl within my preliminary task and then the SLR digital camera, which is what i used for my final product. I researched the task in further detail when producing my final product and i believe this enabled me to achieve a better outcome than my first try of the magazine.
Producing my preliminmary task did help me achieve my final outcome in some ways but i believe my research made me produce and include conventions of other magazines a lot further.

Improvements throughout project.

Progression throughout the project.
 
Looking at the comparison from my preliminary task I am able to see the improvements I have made throughout the amount of work placed into to the project through the amount of time allocated. From constructing this product it has enabled my technological skills to become of a higher standard from working in photo shop successfully to being able to produce the images that were suitable for the magazine I wanted to have as my final outcome. Using the SLR cameras correctly is a skill I wanted to improve and by experimenting I have been able to achieve this.My preliminary task was very simple and didn’t fit the conventions of the magazines I went onto research within the music industry. I am glad I was able to experiment at the early stage of producing my magazine as I have been able to reflect on this and it has become clear to me what real industries aim for, and how they manage to achieve the outcome.

Aiming to a specific audience.

Distribution.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? 

When coming to deciding on which company to choose to publish my magazine I would use IPC media

 as they are one of the leading media institutions in the UK, and popular magazines such as “NME” and

“Guitar & Bass” both use them as their publisher and as these magazines are achieving and succeeding

in this type of industry I would want to aim for the best when publishing my magazine.
This company appeals to a wide variety of audiences as they are profesional and diverse company. It enables the company to distribute my magazine resulting with a positive representation towards the public and I can prove this by how they have presented a variety of music but also other themed magazines.
"NME" are a popular music magazine in the media industry which uses IPC as their distributer, this gives me a positive mentality about using them as this company have achieved lots of attention within the public eye.

Technology.

Digital SLR

On each of my photos I used a SLR camera as I wanted each colour to be captured and when I changed the lighting I wanted this to affect the way the picture was portrayed. With having experience with the camera I was able to judge exactly how I wanted the pictures and know the exact lighting I wanted to use, I did have to experiment when judging what lighting would be best to use but both soft and hard worked well in the pictures I wanted to produce.
Within then SLR camera you can also apply your own settings, which is very different to the digital compact camera. Different shutter speeds can be used to produce quality images and a lot of eqipment to go with an SLR camera such as a tripod enabled me to produce an overall better set of images.

Lighting

Here I decided to experiment with the focus of the camera and also the lighting.
In contrast to the above image I believe this is of a lower standard due to her facial expression and body language not being a prominent. Having already planned my shoot for my magazine I knew exactly what my aims were.

Digital (compact)
When producing my preliminary task I experimented with a digital compact camera but after using one and comparing it to how the SLR camera works you can clearly see the difference and the quality of the pictures on the SLR camera were of a much higher standard.
