Introduction
I am studying media studies at A2 level and for my coursework I had to produce three separate tasks. These were:
• A music video (main task)
• An album cover
• And a magazine advert advertising the album
I worked with Paul Oxton and I made a generous contribution to the planning of each task, getting the location shots, planning the costume and thinking of the ideas that we could use in the music video etc. I also helped design and create both of our ancillary tasks. I filmed all of our footage as there were only two of us in our group which worked out best for myself and Paul.
Target Audience
The target audience for the products were aged 16-25 male and females. I believe that this age range would be most interested due to the band already being popular with these sorts of people. We also gave out some questionnaires and the results we got back showed that the majority of people voted for the target audience to be 16-25 year olds.
Q 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop, or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Genre
“Genres can be defined as patterns/forms/styles/structures that transcend individual art products and which supervise both their construction by artists and their reading by audiences” Ryall’s definition of genre.
