Today I decided to put together some information as to Who, What, Where, When, Why and How - in terms of myself a music products and music itself. I decided I would show this in the form of a slideshow in order to illustrate it to a higher standard and get my points across better.Myself as a consumer of Music products

I believe from doing this task I have learnt a lot more about the different types of products available within the music industry, I have also learnt alot about the wide range of music on offer to us and the different ways we are exposed and also access these types of music. A final note on which to touch upon, I feel I have also learnt a key reason for why people actually listen and enjoy music as much as they do, I believe it allows people to get in touch with different emotions through the use of lyrics and different notes. I believe this to be just the start of my planning and research into similar products and the industry as a whole, I will continue to keep posts updated as to my progress over the next 12 months.

An Example of a Digipak similar to the product I am aiming to achieve 

I will be using this Blog to track my progress throughout the year, to illustrate my different methods of planning and research into my product and similar types of products. This will be in order to create a better standard of products in order to attempt to achieve a better overall grade for my A2 and overall A Level within Media Studies. I will also show my progress throughout the 3 different stages of productions, Pre-production, Production and Post-production. This will help to show the examiner my different use of different media conventions and technologies, as well as equipment, This is important to try and achieve the highest grade possible.
