Evaluation of Main Media Coursework Project: Question 7
I feel I have learnt a great deal from the experience of my preliminary task. In my main project I have been much more aware of the audience, making the production of the main project more thought out as to who the target audience is. The audience has been given greater thought than that of the preliminary task as a result of the experience. The consideration of the target audience was largely helped by the planning of the project and research also helped me create a mental picture. Preparation was vital to my project because I needed to make sure that I had everything to work with (for example pictures etc) and organisation was also important to provide that I had what i needed, this is why I constructed a plan. I have also learnt how to create the appropriate mise-en-scene for the appropriate audience.
Evaluation of Main Media Coursework Project: Question 6
Though out my production of my project I have learnt about different technologies. Using new technology always requires experience, So before I begun my project I familiarised my self with the software. Although it required this investment, I found it was a safe investment. And the professional software has allowed me to do things that would have deemed near enough impossible with out it. For example I was able to wrap text around object by using a simple text box pen. 
I have not only used software, I have also used a website called 'sideshare' in order to upload my slide show onto blogger, This website made the process much easier and quicker than finding an alternative way of uploading it onto blogger.
I have not only used software, I have also used a website called 'sideshare' in order to upload my slide show onto blogger, This website made the process much easier and quicker than finding an alternative way of uploading it onto blogger.I have also experienced problems while using software. This meant I had to discover a way around this problem. One particular problem I faced was with the text to my masthead, I had downloaded a text from 'Dafont' and I used it in Photoshop but the text was protected against colour, this meant I had no way of changing the colour of the text. The best way I could get around this was by creating a new layer under the text and colouring in the bits needed. 
I think that technology has provided me with the ability to make my project take on a professional look. And I think it has been a valuable resource in my Media coursework, without it I would not of had the aid that I could have had with other, non-professional software.
Evaluation of Main Media Coursework Project: Question 2
Every magazine represents a certain social group, and my magazine project is no different. The social group widely represented in my magazine is youth tallent and the young adult. The dominant representation of musical youth tallent is the notion of rebelion, noise and 'out there'. This has been ignored in the production of my magazine as I wanted this group to have a alternative representation. I wanted to representate young adults and musical youth tallent as mysterious but pleasent. I choose to adopt this idea to break sterotyping of this social group. I also choose this idea because if this magazine were to go on sale it could create an emerging ideology.
My magazine has represented the working class as intresting and connotes 'a second life', working during the day and becoming a completely different person in their own time. The current dominant ideology of this class is boring and they have a repetitive weekly schedual.
