Preliminary Exercise Feedback and Learner Response

  1) Type up your teacher's feedback  in full . If you've received your feedback via email, you can simply cut and paste it from the email into your blog. Link to brief: 2 Use of media terminology (language/representation/theory): 3   Comments for AQA: The statement of intent is generally appropriate to the brief as it mentions that it is a celebrity gossip magazine with a double page spread focus on a celebrity influencer There are references made which apply media theory application such as Blumler and Katz and Todorov which demonstrate an understanding of how it could appeal to an audience   Next steps: You need to re-read the brief as the intended target audience is C2DE so the line about targeting upper-middle class is incorrect here Ensure you remember that this is a celebrity gossip magazine so you can reference real celebrities on your front cover through your cover lines etc but the photography has to be your own 2) Using a combination of your own reflection...

Coursework: Statement of Intent

Image
  This is simply a Word or Google Document in which we write what we are planning to make for our coursework. Your completed  summer project  will give you most of the information you need for this - particularly the planning section - but you may have  changed  or developed your idea since the summer. Your preliminary exercise learner response may also help you consider what you plan to create for your real coursework production. Our  coursework brief for 2026  can be found here - remember you need to choose either video or print adverts. The Statement of Intent word count is 300 words - you can go slightly above this if you want to but you need to keep it close to 300.

statement of intent for magazine

statement of intent for magazine Masthead: Drift Leading Article: Where the sea takes you with Iris Newman  I plan to produce a front cover and a double-page spread for a gossip-style magazine which will feature a celebrity's interview-style thoughts on her "self-help book/ autobiography" with extracts of the book on travel destinations. The article will analyse where she's been, what food she's tried and what places provided the most unique, awe-inspiring experiences unique to the local culture. The magazine's cover image will feature a woman on her own in front of a travel destination, she'll subvert the stereotype that a woman requires financial stability from a male counterpart in order to travel and represent women and racially marginalised groups of people in British society.   The first page of the spread will display the places she’s visited and what food she’s discovered following the blumler & Katz theory where the audience develops a per...
