LO 3 (U21):  Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions 
P4 (U21), M3 (U21)




             

The overall feedback was positive and the client was happy with the pitch. He did also ask questions and gave notes on what to improve and what I did well.

The first question that was asked was about my how frequent I am releasing the magazine.
As I mentioned in the pitch we are releasing the magazine every 3 weeks due to tour dates being released, dates for festivals and any music based events being released, also because of the set price we decided on £3.50 it allows us to put as much content as we need that we can sell quite frequently for a reasonable price.

The second question was about who we will have on the front cover for the first release and how we will get the photos for the release.
We will have the artist Dua Lipa as she is from North London, she is a recent up and coming artist that has quickly made an impact in the music industry, she is one of the most recognizable artists currently out in the world and  she is currently know globally, which is good for the magazines recognition. To get the photos and to get the interview we will contact her manager, her PR team and her personally if we have to, in order to get the images or we can use any unreleased and unused photos that she may have.

The third question was about the fonts, he picked up that the fonts I discussed on my pitch were different to the ones on my hard copy drafts.
I created a mock up of a actual front cover and double page spread (the first mock up which is not all the way developed and the finished mock up which is shown on the power point which would be an actual finished product). There is a big difference between the two, for example on the earlier physical mock up the font isn't finalized and there is colour differences especially on the double page spread. However on the finalized copy you can see the difference, especially because the font was finalized and the colour differences where also corrected and changed in order to seem more pleasing to the readers eyes. From this, I understood that I must ensure the fonts are correctly printed so that they appeal to my target audience and are effective.

Generate ideas (P1:U21, M1:U21)

LO 1 (U21): Be able to generate ideas for an original media product based on a client brief (P1:U21, M1:U21) How I have interpreted the client's brief - requirements. Within the brief we have to create a North London based Magazine. This is an explicit requirement that has been given to us by the client, meaning that our magazine has to be North London based. In the magazine we have to include music that is based around North London, for example venues, up and coming artists, bands and solo artists that are from North London. This is an implicit requirement that has been given to us by the client, this allows us to make more open decisions, for example pick the genre of the magazine as long as it is part of North London. We have to create a front cover and a double page spread based of the research we collect on North London. This is an explicit requirement that has been given to us by the client, this means that we have to create a front cover an a double page spread ...

Creating the front cover and double page spread P5 (U3) M4 (U3) D1 (U3)

LO 4 (U3): Be able to carry out post-production techniques and processes for an original media product to a client brief. P5  (U3)  M4 (U3) D1 (U3) This is the original image that we used for the front cover. We used this photo because the artist is looking directly at the lens, making it seem like the model is looking directly at the reader. Also because the image is a straight mid-shot and the artist stands out from the colorful background the image itself without the titles attracts the primary target audience, which is 16-20 year olds. We did this that we could meet the client brief and so we could fulfill every requirement that the client gave us, for example showcasing the new talent in North London, creating original content and to create a front cover for a North London based music magazine. When the editing team first started creating the front cover of the magazine we zoomed into the image and cropped it so that the focus on the artist is increased. We...
