NEA - My Final NEA Magazine

NEA - Statement of intent

Tuesday 4th June 2019

Statement of intent

Brief 1: An educational magazine made for 10-13 year olds.

 How you intend to use Media Language to target your intended audience
I intend to use Media Language to target my intended audience by using a different variety of camera shots in my magazine. This consists of close ups and extreme close ups mostly. The main target audience is 10-13 year olds and people that like Science (mainly biology to be specific.) This means that I have to use more simple language as I have to range from those age groups. I am also going to use colours that are typically associated with my product such as green and yellow. I am going to use a Abril Fatface font to write and using font size 13.9. I intend to use intertextuality to help people recognise the type of magazine I am creating.

  How you intend to use Media Representations that are appropriate to your intended audience
In my magazine I intend to make my background image more vibrant and green to get the best image of the leaf as possible. This is because colours attracts children which is my target audience. Also the green borders link to the leaf being green and increased the contrast to bring all the colour out. In addition, I have made my front cover 'busier' because children always like to see lots of different, big and bold pictures, colours and fonts and it attracts them towards them and that makes them interested.

NEA - writing on word format

NEA – WORD FORMAT MAGAZINE (WRITING)

So you want to know on the structure of a leaf?                     

You have come to the right place to learn. The

First thing you have to know about is what the

Parts of the leaf are called:

-The petiole

-The Midrib

- The Blade

-The Vein

The Petiole is the end of the leaf which previously

Connected to the branch. The Midrib is the part

That flows through the middle of the leaf that sticks

Out. The veins spread out from this part and move to

Multiple locations in the leaf. The blade is the outside

Of the leaf.

Although this is the part of the leaf that we see, the inside

Of the leaf is far more complicated. This is an example of

How it looks:

-The inside of a leaf-

Many more parts aren’t there? The green that covers the entire

Image is called chlorophyll. This is a green pigment that fills the

Chloroplasts with all of its colour. The Stoma shows an air

Passage out and in so that the plant can respire and go

Through the photosynthesis process. The lower and upper

Epidermis are the two main layers of skin cells in the leaf.

They are made up of cells called squamous cells.

The mesophyll helps carbon dioxide travel around the

Leaf. Also, the spongy mesophyll helps make the leaf

Bend the way it does. It helps gases move around the

Leaf. Finally, the Wax Cuticle provides a protective

Film around the leaf which is what we see with our

Eyes.

Although the leaf looks like a simple piece of nature,

It has a of things that make the final product up

(Especially on the inside of the leaf.)

NEA - Audience Profile ( My audience)

Tuesday 26th March 2019

NEA Part 4 - Audience Profile

Learning Objectives:

K: about audience segmentation.
U: how audience segmentation effects media products.
BAT: conduct research and create an audience profile for your individual product.
CO: Use media terminology throughout.

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

Audiences can be categorised in race, gender, age, lifestyle (upper class, middle class) and religion.

It is important to categorise audiences so that they can make their media product the best they can by using relateable subjects in their category.

An educational magazine made for 10-13 year olds.

I understand that I will have to use more informal language towards my approach in my coursework. This is so that my audience will understand the context of my magazine and will be able to relate to it easier.
