AICE Media Studies

These are the videos I had taken while doing a survey on some students:

I have decided that I will create a plan in order to prepare myself for my double spread fitness magazine. I will start with asking students questions in person to get a general idea on the type of audience would read my magazine. Then, I will create a sample front page cover to have an idea on the type that I want. Once, I have generated enough ideas and advice, I will start creating a of table content and decide the type of content I would like to produce.

Besides fitness being a great factor that one can incorporate into their daily life, personally, it’s more than that. Fitness has been in and out of my life since the 3rd grade. When I first came in contact with it, I was using it as way to change my appearance for the likes of others. Battling with insecurities, I would see it more as a chore than a hobby and more of a duty than a choice. After years of constantly battling with my insecurities, I finally came to the realization that if I am going to change the way I look, it is going to be for me and not others. I started to see fitness as therapeutic rather than an enemy. I used it as my outlet for the overwhelming emotions one tend to feel from time to time. Today, I am not able to see myself not working out. Though, I don’t have much time as I once did, I will still try and make an effort to instill it into my lifestyle. Fitness is not an action, but instead, it is a way of life.

After gathering data on the answers I needed to start working on my magazine; these are the results I got for the survey questions: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-7X5PJBNQ7/ 

I was doing research to be aware on how to attract people toward my group and I fitness magazine. These are some tips I came across to get a better understanding: Figure out what type group you'll want to target Know what issue your audience is trying to resolve Attend to places your audience is at, including social media Offer something for free, it can be workouts or meal ideas The point of these tips to get a general idea on who your target is. You'll know the type content to produce. 

These are some potential questions that I am going to ask students around my school to get a grasp on the type of people that might read my magazine: What grade are you in? How old are you? What do you like to do as a hobby? How often do you workout? What do you eat on a daily basis? What types of food do you eat that you consider healthy? Do you read magazines?  What type of magazines do you read? Would you read a fitness magazine? Do you think a fitness magazine would be helpful to your lifestyle?
