Generating ideas LO1: U21 (P1, M1)

Image
LO1 (U21) Be able to generate ideas for an original media product based on a client brief This brief is telling me that I must create a magazine about the current music scene developing in north London. I can choose whether to focus on genre, venues, festivals etc. as long as I can provide evidence of its popularity within the north London area.  Idea 1: This would be a magazine that talks about all different music venues within north London, New and old. This is because it would be useful for people to know what is going on in all venues in north London. this magazine would feature venue reviews so people can know what is currently the most popular venues, and what venues are going to give you the best experience for what you want. the magazine would also provide venue schedules for multiple venues within North London which would prove to be very informative for those interested in the vibrant and developing North London music scene. My double page spread idea would b...

Create a proposal and pitch for a media product LO1: U3 (P1, P2, M1) and LO2: U21 (P2)

LO1 (U3) Be able to create a proposal with sample materials for an original media product to a client brief LO2 (U21) Be able to create a proposal and pitch for an original media product based on a given brief proposal (P1: U3, P2: U21) Concept: The magazine that I will be creating will be an Indie Rock magazine called “The Riff”. This musical term is a very well-known musical term that would be familiar to musicians and non-musicians alike. A Riff is that short original phrase in a song that gets repeated throughout the song and is usually memorable and instantly recognisable for each different song. I chose this name for this music magazine because it is a musical term that connotes to the purpose of my magazine which is to showcase mainly small, new and upcoming indie rock bands in the north London region, to introduce the original new Riffs of the indie rock genre. This font that I have chosen is called “Vonique 64”. It is a sleek and stylish  looking mode...

Planning and preparing a pitch LO2: U21 (P3, M2)

LO2 (U21): Be able to create a proposal and pitch for an original media product based on a given brief Potential client questions, my responses and amendments (M2 U21)  After the practice pitch, the first question that I got asked was whether or not I had any ethical constraints for the magazine . This question proved that I had not done enough research into all the areas that I needed to be familiar with When Delivering a proposal of this sort. I was unable to answer the question so this high lighted the importance of researching all necessary areas so when it comes to being questioned by a professional I would be able to deliver a true and confident response. For my real pitch I am going to make sure that I tell the client all ethical constraints that I have considered and I how I would overcome any legal and ethical issues.  The next question I was asked was How did I know that Camden was the most popular area . I responde...

pitch your ideas and evaluate the response LO3: U21 (P4, M3, D1)

Image
Feedback: The first piece of feedback that I received was on the band I was focusing on "Big Thief". I was told this was a good example of how bands use social media to spread their message. This is a good piece of advice because it demonstrated that my magazine was in line with the brief regarding new and upcoming music. In the brief, it states that the magazine should be focused on a "vibrant music scene developing locally". The brief also states that the magazine should be online and print-based. Therefore, by having a focus on social media, I feel like I am relating to my target demographic, because they will be likely to find the content interesting, and also use devices such as black boxes to access the magazine. This means the online aspect of the magazine should prove successful. The client also liked that I had identified a magazine from the US as an inspiration for my magazine. This was reassuring, as it ...

evaluate the response LO3: U21 (D1)

LO3 (U21): Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions   Criticisms: . the sketch layout of my front cover - I rejected feedback due to the fact I was going for a minimalistic design. this however had to be changed later on when I realised it didn't work.  . my use of colour -  . why I need a model the main thing that was critiqued in my pitch was that my sketch layout for the front cover of my magazine contained too much dead space for a new magazine entering the scene for the first time. My intention was to go for a very minimalistic design as I figured it would look more sleek and stylish than a more cluttered looking magazine front cover. however, this was criticised as a new magazine which does not yet a have a huge following should really be showcasing a lot more on its front cover than what it looked like on my sketch. there has to be a balance struck between being informative and not looking too ...

This location is suitable because it has suitable power sources and plug sockets where we need them. The ...
