Task 1 - The Music Industry
Representation of Music Artists - Task 1
Choose an artist to focus on and produce a piece of research about how this artist is represented by the media.
It is interesting to research an artist who has changed over time as there is a lot to say about how the media have changed the way they represent the artist. e.g. has it gone from positive representation to negative?
You can present you research in any of the following ways:
* An essay about how the artist was represented (using specific examples and occasions) and how they are represented now
* Pictures and annotations of different ways the artists have been represented on different occasions and at different events
* A single picture with some detailed bullet points about the way the media has represented the artist
* A selection of newspaper/magazine articles about the artist with your comments and opinions about each
Remember to state what your view is of the way the media have represented your particular artist

Writing your Evaluation
Evaluating Your Practical Media Production Piece
Evaluation is a very important part of your practical work in Media Studies. It should be an ongoing part of your production process, and not just some quick thoughts scribbled down at the end. Don't be afraid to make both positive and negative comments about your project as a whole. Highlight elements you're pleased with as well as commenting on aspects that didn't turn out so well. An honest, thoughtful evaluation is essential for a top grade.
Research is Vital
In your written evaluation, you have to demonstrate an understanding of the process you have undertaken and how that compares to real industry practice, whatever your production may be. This is where good planning and research during your pre-production phase is invaluable – how much do you know about how the professionals do it? If you've studied industry practice, and can make references to real media productions (use plenty of examples!), you'll be able to show that you have a good understanding of the media form you were producing. Your initial research will also help prove that you had a definite target audience in mind throughout the process.
Be Critical
You need to critically examine your finished work, be aware of where improvements could be made, and suggest ways you would do it differently next time. How have you learned from your mistakes? What do now you know about the technological tools you used that will change the way you work in the future?
You should state your original aims (did you achieve them? If not, why not?) and briefly describe the process you underwent (explaining the creative decisions you made and the problems you encountered) when establishing those aims
