Genre

Currently in Media we are looking at different Genre's to fit the audience. Genre is meeting the audience expectations. It is a set of characteristics or formula that is recognized by audiences. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued.Genre works through important cultural myths and fears by repetitious, innovation and resolution. Genre creates a relationship between the audience and the producers which minimise the risk of financial failure. An example of a Genre is Horror, under Horror is a sub Horror such as Vampires. 

Below is a pie chart of Genre broken down found from http://www.psychologyofgames.com/2010/02/23/why-do-we-love-genres-so-much/ 

Power Point Presentation

Here is a power point presentation on the Givenchy advert. It shows the age range and what sex the product is for. It also talks about the magazine in which the advert came from. As this product is for men and women the advert may also be found in a men's magazine, for example Men's Health as this a male version of a magazine which is aimed at men who care for their appearance.

Magazine Mock-Up

 

Here is my magazine mock up. I have based my magazine on music. This is shown by using a current music brand, information on learning how to play a musical instrument and an interview with the winner of a music program 'Must be the Music'. I have used a Masthead at the top of my magazine, along with the price in bold.

A video advertisement also promotes the products as these can be played on many types of media. For example; television is the highest use of media and was originally made for advertisement.
