You need to gain feedback from peers about each of your designs as you produce them and improve these according to relevant feedback.  YOU NEED TO MAKE A RECORD OF THIS FEEDBACK.


If you're making a video: Produce a short summary of content of your music video, would it be narrative based? Would it be performance based? Would you use both styles? Would you show the artist? Then you need to start writing either a shot list or a storyboard of potential shots you're going to use and their order.

If you're making a Radio Programme: You need to write a script that details all elements of your show, including: dialogue, music, music bed, idents, competitions (if any), sound effects (if any), other content such as News, Weather, guests, phone ins, etc.

You need to gain feedback from peers about each of your ideas as you produce them and improve these according to relevant feedback.  YOU NEED TO MAKE A RECORD OF THIS FEEDBACK.

--------------------------------

TASK 4 - PLANNING PART 2

Individually, sketch your website... see the illustration below and look at the elements that need to be included.

You're making two pages... remember... your home page and ONE linked page, so you need to sketch a range for both.

• U: how different types of images and fonts can affect the way audiences consume media texts.
• BAT: produce a mood board that illustrates your initial ideas for your media product.

------------------

TASK 1 - Open a new post and title it: "NEA Planning task 2 - My Mood Board".

------------------

TASK 2 - Click on the link below and review your chosen brief...

THEN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:

• What brief did you choose? State the two products you're required to produce.
• What are the minimum requirements for your chosen productions?
• What is the target audience as prescribed in the brief?
• What is your target audience for the products you're creating? (this needs to link to the audience profiling post).

------------------------

TASK 3 - Write an introduction to the task.  This needs to explain what you're going do... in this case it needs to be along the lines of:

"In this task I'll explore different types of images, fonts and colours to use in my......... .  I shall be looking at different connotations and how these affect the way my target audience might view my product.  By creating this mood board I will also be exploring creative ways of how to present my work".

-----------------------

TASK 4 - Create a series of mood boards (at least 2 - one for the main product and another one for the online counterpart) that give an indication of the types of images (may include photos and/or illustrations), overall colour scheme, types of fonts and colours you are considering using in your productions.

You might want to use technology (an app) or plain paper, found pictures and glue.

If you choose to use the latter (paper, pictures and glue) you must then take pictures of your finished mood boards and email them to yourself so that you can upload them to your blog later on.

Your mood boards needs to have a selection of text (type of font, sizes and colour), colour themes and kind of images that would help explain they style and concept of the magazine you want to make.

You could also use pictures you have taken yourself - this will make your mood board more relevant to what you're doing in your productions.

Here are some examples of mood boards... what do you think makes them effective?

-----------------------

TASK 5 - When you finish the mood boards you need to analyse them answering the following questions:

• How did they helped you define content for your products?
• What will be your overall colour scheme of your productions?
• What kind of images/shots would you use in your productions?
• What kind of fonts would you use in your productions?
• What kind of mise-en-scene would you use in your productions?
• What kind of intertextuality would you use in your productions?
• Which media theory(ies) are you likely to use in your productions?
