Powtoon on Mass Vs Niche

In class we got told to make a Powtoon on mass magazines in comparison to niche magazines. The reason we got told to do this is because, as media students, it is important to understand how different publishers use their media texts to attract different audiences. It is also significant to understand this in order for my class and myself to make sure we include all the key techniques for when coming to make our own magazines. From doing this task I hoped to achieve a better understanding of Mass and Niche magazines in general as a whole. 

   
From using this powerpoint presentation, Powtoon I have learnt the differences between niche and mass magazines and the main difference is the amount of people who read each magazine. These skills that I have learnt whilst doing my powtoon will help me in the future when it comes to making my own magazine because, the fact that I am doing an 'indie' magazine allows me to come under the niche side of things. It gives me and idea that I only have to appeal to certain types of consumers, however I would still want my magazine to look appealing on shelves in a shop to attract other members of the public if they decide to change their magazine taste. Overall, by doing this, it has given me an insight into how much work and effort I need to make my magazine look professional and I feel that I will be prepared to make a good standard media text with all this knowledge that I have taken into account.

  1. Natasha, your Powtoon is good, with plenty of detail. However your introduction and explanation could do with some improvement. Make sure that it is concise and as detailed as possible. Focus on answering: What was the task? What did you learn? How will this help you in the future?
