Print media that communicates meaning – A tour poster

This is a tour poster of Ariana Grande for her tour of Sweetener, here you can see I am understanding how to analyse Media Text.

In my Media classes, I have been looking at different Tour posters and analysing and understanding them. For example i have looked at; the iconography of the images, the lighting, The font, the Mise en scene. The denotations of the Tour Poster all have connotations attached too them for example, the pink fluffy clouds illustrate that she is feminin and promotes the fantasy fairy like feel.

By understanding the denotations and connotations of this Tour poster for example the font, body language, costume design and lighting, will help me to create my own Music Magazine as I can use these techniques in my work. The facial expressions in this poster convey a narrative so I will use appropriate facial expressions to illustrate a story in my poster.

Hello Media Studies

Right now my organisation skills are adequate and my Time management seems to be fine but throughout the year I would like my organisation skills too improve.

My research skills are decent but would definitely look to enhance them and develop this skill. My creative skills at the moment are quite good but there is still room for improvement.

My transferable skills are good right as I already have experience in basic Photoshop skills and basic editing skills and I also know a bit about computers. I want to achieve to create posters, make designs and hopefully make a music video, whilst working on my camera and computer skills. I’m also friendly so I have good social skills and I did GCSE music which will help me in doing the posters for our future project.

I am a media prosumer

 

Media is great its exciting and fun and it can help  express an artists individual skills and it lets other people view there work. As a community we consume a lot of media throughout our daily lives.

Here in this college you can see and understand the types of media that I consume.

I personally consume: Music, Films, TV shows, Social media and even video games. I use Youtube around 2 hours a day, Youtube has consumers who use their product daily as its a great source of entertainment and information just by the click of a button. I also find I consume Netflix and video games on my Xbox, these being my main sources of media consumption. I also tend to listen to Music for entertainment either when working, travelling or practicing. For my personal identity and social interaction I usually consume Instagram and Whatsapp mostly for more than 3 hours a day. For education and Information I consume Youtube and google chrome, this could be for work or just at home to find something out.

Here are some more reasons why I use the media.

  • ENTERTAINMENT
  • PERSONAL IDENTITY,
  • SOCIAL INTERACTION 
  • EDUCATION AND INFORMATION.

In this Course and by the end, I will work and expand on my media skills. I will learn and understand how the media works and how to develop on skills such as Photoshop and film editing. Learning about how the media works will help me to create my next upcoming project which is a Music Magazine. By looking at the posters and the media on this college it is clear to me that I will need to make my Music Magazine attentive, bright, fun, informative and eye catching so that it stands out. This Magazine will need to connect to my viewers and it should reinforce their own identity, this making my Magazine more popular and more appealing to the viewers needs and wants. Towards the end of the course I will hopefully become a better media producer and I really hope to make something creative and fun in the near future.
