  Here are my notes from a lesson about how media companies target audiences I worked as part of a group but participated in the discussion MEGA, September 2022 (issue), Future plc, Maverick Magazines (publisher) CODE, September-Octorber 2023 (issue), EPS Software Corp (publisher) Our Notes: Reflection:  I found out that magazine makers first pick who they want to read their magazine, using stuff like age and interests. Then they use certain pictures and words on the cover to attract those readers. I can do the same for my magazine project. I just need to figure out who I want to read it (like guys who are into motorcycles and are between 16 and 30) and then use things that would interest them, like a picture of someone riding a motorcycle on the cover.  For genres, I learned that magazines in the same category need to be kind of the same so people know what to expect, but also a bit different to keep things interesting. So, for my magazine, I can write a review about a m...

Description Of This Theory: What a Representation is/Meaning? A potrayle in a media of a thing What a stereotype is? A Characteristic and attributes to groups of people that is a popular belief but not true. Why are stereotypes used?

As a Balinese citizen(Who the media is for), these kind of news are not seen much but are very heart warming to see foreigners do the jobs that we were mean...

  Here is the research of my magazine. BIG ANALYSIS Media Language The genre convention of a Tourism and Culture shows a unique and unfamiliar clothing or lifestlye. This magazine confirms this as it shows a one and only dancing uniform from Bali worn by the children, directly showing the different culture for someone foreign and traveling to Bali. The cover image features two young Balinese boys in vibrant traditional dancing costumes, creating an exotic and culturally rich atmosphere. The use of the "udeng" and Balinese masks signifies the magazine's focus on traditional Balinese culture. The bold and prominent title, "The Echo," helps establish the magazine's brand identity and capture the reader's attention. Representations The cover image represents Balinese culture as colorful, vibrant, and traditional, with the young boys symbolizing the richness of the island's heritage. The use of traditional attire and masks reinforces the idea that the mag...

  Here is the brief for component 1. I have decided to choose the magazine option. Reflection: I had zero to no interest at first learning about magazines, but I figured the design aspect could be of use for me and the knowledge of why some sell more than others could be useful too. With this knowledge I could thrive in businesses better and have a better opportunity in gaining the things I need.

 THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT MAKING A STORYBOARD Reflection: This was my first attempt at making a storyboard. As you can see, there are shots that are made and added in between shots by Mr Nick since my planning was off. I would need to plan my actual storyboard bettern and have more descriptions of each shots.

 This is my final Storyboard
