How did your research into genre help you with your production?

The research into genre helped me see the key most common themes for the genre and see what schemes linked to a certain genre, this enabled me to create a piece of work which was easily discovered as that genre by its codes and conventions.

How did your research into audience contribute to your production work?

My research into Indie Rock audience gave me a brief idea of what the audience is like and what kind of stereotype is given within them, I only used a small secondary research method to find out my results, which I knew would only give me a small amount of data, I think I should do a larger research and planning scheme for my next work as I will be able to find out a broader range of my audience/ the audience.

What pre-production planning techniques did you employ (scripting, storyboarding, shot-listing, etc.)?

I created story boards and mood boards for my pre-production this enabled me to create multiple ideas whilst getting a sense of what the magazine would look like, making the production a lot easier

How effective was your planning – how did it help you in the production phase?

My planning was very good at the start as I had my deadlines all set up and I was able to follow them to plan, this enabled me to complete work on time, thus leaving me time to check and prepare for the next stages of my production.

What did you learn from planning your first production that helped you to improve your planning for the second?

I learnt that for my planning I will need to be less time consuming worrying on other bits but focus on my planning at the start as it will help with a smooth operational production.

How did you use audience feedback to influence your production work while it was in progress?

I looked closely at the feedback I got from my audience feedback and saw what they didn’t like what features looked good etc. this helped me to re order my work to make sure it look good and was up to the audience standard, they also helped me with key features needed such as making the audience feel involved and others like that.
