Introduction

Hello, and welcome to my first blog post!

My name is Breanna, and I've created this blog to take you on my journey throughout my AICE Media Studies Course. I have chosen to create a four-page magazine that will consist of a magazine cover, contents page, and a double-page spread. In this blog, I will be creating an Introductory/Preliminary blog and incorporating research, planning, production, and a reflection once I've reached the end of my media product.

Luckily, I will be able to benefit from my communication and writing skills while writing this blog. However, I do wish to learn how to use critical theories of media studies and subject-specific terminology.

Right, so I feel as though when it comes to books or magazines or anything that an audience is reading, um I feel like the number one rule is that if you really want to engage with your audience, you need a topic that really resonates with a lot of people. And like I've said before, self-acceptance, self-love, you know struggling with self is just really common today, unfortunately. Um but that in itself has the capability of attracting an audience and making them feel like they're there. Um and the reason being is because they too feel the same way. They've felt down about themselves, they felt like they weren't good enough, they've compared themselves and that in itself um, yeah they just feel like, you know they can engage with us, we can engage with them with our words. ...
