Planning and Preparing A Pitch (U21: P3, M2)

Learning Outcome 2 (U21): Be able to create a proposal and pitch for an original media product based on a given brief.


Original powerpoint for practice proposal.


This is my practice pitch for my magazine.


This is my updated powerpoint for my pitch

Magazine proposal from GottersFC

The title font on each slide should be the main font of my magazine shown on the design and fonts slide.

Following on from my feedback (which can be viewed in the video pitch) these are the changes I have made to my powerpoint:

  • I have changed the background of my powerpoint
  • I added images to several slides
  • I added a digital mock up for a double page spread and front coverI changed the size of the fonts to fit the page more
  • I added a design and fonts slide to show what font I will be using
  • I also added a content slide to show what content will be included in the magazine itself
  • Added information on an American rap magazine as they are a slight competitor
  • I added a final slide asking for questions to show the end of the presentation

Possible Client Questions I could be asked:


 Why did you choose this genre?
We chose to make a magazine on this genre because there aren't any other magazines in the UK like this magazine idea so there is a gap in the market I can exploit.

 How will you advertise to the target audience?
We will advertise to the target audience with posters in popular areas and outside gigs as well as advertising on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. 

 Does the title font match the genre?
We feel the font does match the genre as it is shows that the genre has hidden gems under the negative image given to it by the media making the diamond and crystal style font right for the genre plus the target audience will realise this possibly buy the magazine.

 Does the colour scheme fit the genre?
We feel the colour scheme fits the genre as it has a gold and black fade. Both of which are popular colours and styles for the genre making it a good fit for the genre.

 Is the price a bit too expensive?
We feel that the price is in a good spot after comparing it to other magazines it is not very expensive and actually very reasonable for the magazine and also it will be affordable for our target audience.

Does the subheading font fit the genre?
We took a risk with choosing this font for our subheadings and are open to any suggestions that include changing it as it doesn't fit the genre fully so an alternative suggestion will be taken and used.

 Wont billboards be very expensive?
Yes, however this is only dependant on how much budget we have to work with so having billboards and large signs is not our priority when marketing our magazine and informing our audience.

Post-Production Techniques and Processes (U3: P5)

Image
In my magazine I used a red and black colour scheme to represent the Grime genre and this is due to my target audience liking the colours red and black so using them on the front cover and within the magazine will be more appealing to them and lead to them buying the magazine more. This will bring more attraction and more attention to the magazine and therefore allowing the magazine to be more successful. In my magazine I used the grime genre. This genre is very popular in the north London which is perfect as it meets the brief better and meets the client requirements for a popular magazine music genre for north London. Also my target audience is very common in north London so the clients brief will be met when looking to supply a popular north London based magazine. The content of my magazine will include several things that my target audience will engage in and enjoy reading. This shows that I would have met the client brief a...

Plan and Develop Pre-Production Materials (U3: P3, M2)

Image
Risk Assessment: Location Recce: I will be shooting at this residential house in north London, Southgate, N14 5HJ. It is accessible by public transport of both busses and trains as Southgate station is a 5 minute walk away. Draft Layout sketches: I had this idea for layouts because they show off the simplicity of the magazine and also it shows connotations towards the genre. This is through the simple images and minimal text on the double page spread. My Colour Scheme: I am using red and black for the background and selected subheadings and text. I am using the white and grey colours for subheadings and text. Chosen Font: The basic font for the magazine and  cover-lines  will a square block font that will show the more bold side to the genre plus with similar genres they used a block font and this tells me that for my genre it would be wise to go with a block font as well.  Moodboard: These images influen...
