Learning Outcome 3 (U21): Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions (D1)
One point that the professional gave was that I should have a little bit of text underneath the title to make the title more clear and more understandable. In my case, underneath 'NOLORAP' I would have some text saying 'North London Rap' to show that is what it stands for. I will use this in my own work as I believe that it will make it a lot easier for the readers to understand. At first, he didn't understand what NOLORAP stood for so this shows how unclear of a title it is without some text explaining what it means.
He also said that my original secondary target range of 14 - 16 was too tight and made a comment about 17 year olds being more of an audience and I hadn't included them in either of my target audiences. I agree with what he said and I will be changing this and will include 17 year olds in my secondary target audience because even though they aren't quite old enough to go into all the clubs and concerts, they still tend to have the same taste in music as the older teens. The only reason that they are in m secondary audience as opposed to my primary audience is because they aren't old enough to go into all types of concerts and clubs.
A point was brought up about me using school grades and not to confuse them with social grades. I actually purposely included a point about school grades as I think that they are very relevant in todays society and link to music very strongly. Although it might not be relevant to all genres of music, I do strongly believe that it is relevant in rap music because it is a good way for people to escape the issues that they have with life and this could include school work. For people with lower school grades, might just need some distractions from their own personal problems and rap music could help that and help them get on with their work and hopefully improve their grades.
On one of my slides, I included a photo of a concert which wasn't a rap concert and it looked completely out of place. The professional noticed this and suggested I change this, which of course I will do and I will change it to a picture of a rap concert so it looks more in place and suits the genre better. I also made the same error with my article ideas slide, where none of the articles related to the pictures I used.
Another issue that was made is that there wasn't a clear differentiation between an app and an online form of the magazine. The application version of the magazine will be available on the apple app store and on the IOS play store where as the website form will just be a weblink that would be primarily used on computers and laptops but will also be accessible via internet explores on mobile devices. I will make this clearer so that nobody gets them confused or mixed up.
The last point that I will pick up on, is that he questioned whether there was a large enough market in North London for there to be a magazine on rap and if there are any rivalling magazines. There aren't any magazines that are based only on North London rap which is why I believe it would be a great idea to create one. The main question here would be, 'isn't there a reason that there isn't a rivalling magazine', when in fact the vast majority of teens in North London listen and download rap music to their computers or mobile devices. This shows that a magazine about North London rap would most likely do well in the market.
