Media Studies Kerrang Analysis


For my media I have analysed Kerrang! one of the well known rock magazines which publish an edition every two weeks. Enjoy.
To produce this short video I have taken a quote from kerrang.com which is:
Kerrang! identifies its audience as ‘individually minded, independent of thought and musically experienced, an audience defined by attitude, passion and loyalty’. Kerrang distinguish their identity as a world ‘where Jackass meets Playstation and Skate culture meets ipod’
I have also used the application available through the Apple App Store- Bcontext
And to learn to embed the video into Blogger I have used:

Comments:
C Grade (But close to a B)
This is a creative presentation that demonstrates detailed analysis of the magazine and a creative use of media in the presentation. If you use this presentational format again, you need to think about using different fonts as the ones you used made the text seem insignificant. It may also be useful to vary the text elements as you speak to convey more information. This is particularly true when discussing critical theory. With that in mind, you need to review both Uses and Gratifications Theory and Barthes Narrative codes so that you can use them more accurately. You gave some explanation of the tutorials you accessed, but you need to evaluate their effectiveness next time. 

Well done. A good first attempt.
