Video diary on magazine industry context

In this task I was asked to research into music magazine context, and put all my findings into a magazine which i then had to edit.

I found out a lot about the music magazine industry that I didn't already know but I also learnt how to use final cut pro which I wasn't as experienced with before this task. I found out aspects that I didn't already know like the history of music magazines, what the music magazine is and who buys these magazines, the most popular music magazines, the top publishers and top genres of music magazines (but also who provides this genre in there magazine), the prices and why they have recently dipped and how music magazines attract there target audience. This will all help me when producing my own magazine front cover, contents and double page spread because I can follow all the normal conventions of a music magazine so it is as similar as it can be to a normal music magazine, it has given me a huge insight into the industry, techniques to rise sales of my magazine and whats popular to what target audience so I have a better idea on who to aim my magazine at depending on what genre i choose.
