The three main stages of production are: Pre-production: Planning, scripting &

storyboarding, etc. Production: The actual shooting Post-production: Everything between production and

creating the final master copy.Other stages include: Financing: This is before pre-production, and

involves budget forecasting, finding investors, etc. Screenplay: This can be considered a separate stage

before pre-production. Distribution: After post-production, delivering the

content to the audience (e.g. film prints, CD/DVD, etc).

The UK’s leading consumer magazine.

NME, Now, Nuts

More than 60 iconic media brands

IPC Media have created magazines in the same

genre as me and would be a perfect

institution for me to have my magazine in.

Reaches over nineteen million UK adults every week.

4 Music, Kiss, Mojo, Kerrang

Although Bauer Media make Kerrang, they are

not as experienced in indie-rock music like IPC

Media. This is why Bauer is not as good for my

magazine.

IPC know indie-rock music well. They have a good

idea of the target audience as they already have

the magazine NME. This would benefit my

distribution as it would mean they would know

exactly where to distribute my product. My product

is similar to NME but slightly different as it takes a

much more relaxed look and is not as complicated.

This is good as my target audience of teenagers

will find it more interesting if it is not too hard to

understand. The company has a good reputation

and this is important as people will only buy from

companies with a good reputation. My magazine is

quite niche. This is why it would work well with

IPC media as they know how to sell niche products.

My magazine could be advertised in many

ways.

Shop windows, posters, television adverts and leaflets.

This is very similar to how other magazines are

sold . If my magazine is sold the same way, it

is almost guaranteed to be seen and noticed

and then bought.

My product would be distributed in many ways.

Society is changing and everything is done

electronic. As well as it being sold in shops, I

would give customers the option to subscribe

online to get the magazine delivered, or to be

viewed online. This would be good for my

magazine as things are now done online which

means I would get more customers.
