My College Magazine Mock up

My Music Magazine Questionnaire

Please take 5 mins to take part in my questionnaire here.

Quantitative & Qualitative

I was also asked to research the difference between Quantitative and Qualitative I found out the following: 

Quantitative is to do with large amounts of information which can be done by giving people questionnaires to fill out to allow feed back which can be good or bad. It is quicker to gain and receive the information although a downside of this would be that less information can be available and sometimes all of the information is needed to carry out a process after the any source of information is given out and for the results to be given back. Quantitative information can be fiddled with and things can be though as true but can also be false information. Quantitative information can reach a wider range of people by just sending out an email rather than giving questionnaires or surveys out in a shopping centre where people will be less co-operative than they would reading an email.

Qualitative is information is researched in more depth than quantitative as it searches for more information and is first hand information so it can be trusted and cannot be edited by anyone. Qualitative information is case studies and interviews so the information always come from someone else.Qualitative information is more personal than quantitative as qualitative  can be done one to one and can be as i have said in more depth and can be trusted because it was first hand. Qualitative information can be hard to to access as if a magazine wants to interview a certain band for an up coming tour and the band is to busy they cannot get the information they want so they may want to make it up so sometimes it is not always true.
I am going to base my Music magazine on Qualitative information because their will be more reliable and will be in more depth and i cannot do that using Quantitative.

Feminism

Feminism

In my media lesson we learned about feminism and what it actually is. Feminism was the response to society, to assume that women should be servants to men. I learned that the land girls went into mens jobs as men went to war, but up until the second world war the women weren't allowed to wear trousers afterwards they were allowed as trousers were seen as males type of clothing and women were only allowed to wear skirts that were over the knee. 

The Jets got votes for women by doing dramatic things to get their points across for example they lay underneath vehicles. In the 1970's the sex quality act was not passed until 1975, also men and women had the same wage from 1975 onwards. 

The Theory
Academic feminist theory as a response to this liberation and activism. Laura Mulveys theory of the male gaze as constructing audience expectations in the film. Mulvey argues that cinema audiences look at films in two different ways

• Vogeuristically 
• Fetishistically

Patrichary is a form of society ruled by men through the figure of the father to whom are subordinate.

Cinema audiences watch a film without being watched by the characters on screen. Therefore we are almost vogues, watching the people on screen, this can lead to two effects:

• Objectification of female characters in relation to this controlling (male) gaze.
•  Narcissistic identification with an ideal image seen on the screen.

Fetishism
 Fetishism looking, she suggests, leads to the cult of the female movie star, celebrated for her looks but considered as an object and often treated as one.
Rules of women in Hollywood
Conventional Hollywood films have a male protagonist in the narrative and assume a mob audiences.

This shows that there arent just natuarally good looking peopkle that can only get on magazine cover beth ditto did these covers to show people that people come in all shapes and sizes and that anyone can go on a magazine cover and natural beauty is the one.
