Front Cover Analysis

Here on this google slide is front cover magazine which I have analysed. This includes Textual Analysis and an overall ‘Who are they?’

R&B is the soul for life. It accelerates the worlds transition for to a more cool collected place just for you. Understand that what we do it made just for you. Don’t you want to come join the best vibe?

Who is the audience likely to be?

The audience for my R&B magazine will appeal more to people in their 20’s to 30’s this is due to the specific content which I purposely put into it, it will also be more appealing to people in this age category as it is more more mature then pop or indie which you usually find teenagers putting themselves into.

Demographics and Psychographics of the audience-

Suitable for young adults who want something to relate to.

Non gender specific (any gender can enjoy).

more of a lifestyle then a hobby.

Gives off a healthy attitude.

Information about my Target Audience.

I am targeting my media towards this audience as it can be seen as a more mature content with the context of specific articles like lifestyle. Teenagers are just developing their lifestyle (not enough to know what lifestyle they’re after.) and middle aged people already eknowelege their lifestyle.

 

 

 

Production Meeting Agenda 2

On Tuesday the 8th of December me and my Media Studies class will be out of school for the day to take photos in various different locations for our double page spreads on our magazines. The photos taken will be useful for our double page spreads of even front covers depending on their quality.

Some ideal places for my magazine would be either at the Beau Sejour centre in one of the basketball courts or either Candy Gardens in the greenery and the olden architecture.

Some risks of this assignment would be that the image quality would not be up to a specific standard, and would have to re-shoot at school which not be ideal for my genre on behalf of my setting choice. In order for this not to happen I need to use the correct equipment and setting on the equipment.

 

Contact Sheet

On Monday, me and my Media Studies class ventured out to Beau Sejour park to have an all day photoshoot in preparation for our double page spreads. In order to have the best possible outcome for my double page spread I took over 100 photos to conduct the best. Here I have them on contact sheets for you to observe.

From these images you can acknowledge the different angles, positions back rounds and props that I used to get the possible outcome/quality photos…

Draft Feature Analysis

For my draft feature analysis I shall include an article development to show what key factors are required to make my magazine worth reading. I shall then prepare to create a review on something my star has participated in.

A hook:

Mise En-Scene To Communicate Meaning

In order to further analyze the music genre Indie, I put together a mood board demonstrating mise en-scene. If you look at my mood board you will find different locations I plan to shoot with and type of mood I would initially like my front cover to look like to represent Indie culture as much as possible…

Made with Padlet
To grasp an understanding of my chosen genre I though of a few adjectives that may represent Indie.
We did initially write down these adjectives on post it notes, However I though it would be easier to directly put my adjectives into the blog instead of taking individual images.
Some Adjectives That I Used To Represent Indie.
-Mainstream
-Hip
-Generic
-Cool
-Different
-Artsy
Photo shoot Images 
These are the 3 best photos I had out of our mini shoot we had. Here we tried to represent Indie as much as possible without professional equipment.
These are the best quality photos I managed to get as it was my first time using the DSLR equipment.
My Final Image
For my final image, I concluded that this photo would be best to create a tour poster from. This is because I liked how to guitar was included and I like the guitar from the angle it was at. I also enjoy the medium long shot angle as it gives a depth which would compliment the front cover of a magazine or any poster.
Reflect And Focus Forward…
Overall I think that my tour poster would exemplify an Indie aesthetic as my main cover star gives off a mysterious tone, as if he hates everything apart from his music. He would die for his music passion. Now I need to complete my tour poster and be able to represent my genre as much as possible.
