Copyright Rights

Dear Caspa production label,

I am writing to inform you that I wish to use one of your artists tracks, TC - Wheres My Money in my year 13 A2 level media music video productions. I am seeking the copyright rights against this track to allow myself to create a music video for the song. The music video is for educational purposes only and not for the making of any profits what so ever.

Yours faithfully,
Stephen Widger

Evaluation

1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
2) How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
3) What have you learned from your audience feedback?
4) How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Promotional Poster

For my promotional poster I want to create an advertising poster for a magazine. I am going to be using ideas from Woofah magazine, as this is the sort of magazine I want to portray and promote my artist in.

Here is my promotional poster for my artist.

Magazine Promotion Analysis

This analysis of promotional magazine articles will help me decide on what sort of idea I shall be looking to include in the promoting poster for my chosen artist. I shall look at two different types of magazines, but still linking them both with the genre of Dubstep.

WOoFhA

Woofha is one of the number one and main dubstep magazines in the UK. The magazine itself is not based on the main genre of dubstep, it also promotes reggae, grime and many more of the same style of music. Woofha provides information to all dubstep listeners about new and upcoming bands and Djs with new song releases. It also shares tour dates within the UK at a number of different venues for dubstep artists.
The layout of Woofha magazine is very simple but very attractive and eye catching. With the absence of bright standing out colours and an incredible different variety of pictures.





As you can see the main image on the front cover of this edition of Woofah magazine is of an artist. The artists picture takes up almost the entire page of the front cover to illustrate importance in the magazine. This shows the reader that this edition has information based on this particular artist. Usually or typically there will be a double maybe even a triple page spread with articles, pictures and sometimes tour date and song release dates on it.
At the bottom of the front cover is a list of different DJ's and artists that are also within the magazine with articles written about them. The layout at the bottom of the page wih the different colours bolds out the different artists, this makes he names stand out and seperates the artists.
