So… I am ready to photograph my star.

The values my brand portrays is that we leave you satisfied with all you’re musical needs. We are on the market to open access to all the Rap information you can find.

I will use various amounts of props which can be found in my agenda. The camera angle will most likely be low looking up to give the rapper a sense of power and that it shows owner ship of the front page.

My MES will be covered in terms of costume, this can be found on the agenda. These costumes will put Dave in the feeling allowing us to get the perfect angle for the perfect picture.

My audience will need to be considered because we want to give them the star image for them to view.

Star Image – theirs and mine

In this post I will be sharing a Prezi that I have made on my target of a star for my magazine and the metanarrative they show. The paradox of the star for this genre of music would be someone who has had a deep meaningful back round with something they would have like to reflect on and change through producing music. Dave is the perfect person for my cover as he portrays so many different styles – for more info click below!

So… How can an image communicate meaning?

The previous post of my mood board where I took 9 photos and hashtagged the meaning behind them. This task made me learn how the mise-en-scene angles can tell a completely different story. The same photos could be taken at different angles and portray a completely different meaning. This was really interesting to find as for my magazine I will need to find the perfect angle to get the right meaning behind my front cover photo. This can also change depending on how many people. If the photo of a group is at a completely different angle it can show how this will have different effects and meanings.

We also used smart attire to see how the ‘red carpet return’ will look. The costumes could have been for the genre of music I would have done. The body language of my models was of a natural teenage swaggy vibe, which could have represented more of a lower gravity more sluggish vibe of a rapper. There were not many gestures made in my photos and that with different lighting could have gave different meanings and vibes to the rap style This with the camera at many more angles could have told a different story.

The Camera Talks

In this post I will be taking 9 photos to add to make a moodboard and  I will Hashtag technical commentaries and I will communicate a story.  #Camera Term/#Denotation/#Connotation. I have done this to allow myself to gain information on how different camera shots portray different meanings. This has also helped me to learn how a camera angle can change the entire vibe of a story.

My Audience Profile

In this task I looked at what would make a perfect member of my audience, someone I would like to be selling my magazine to. My magazine will be encoded with enough date to make my viewers interested so that they would not be able to ‘bat an eye’. They will then be able to decode the magazine gaining all the information they need to stay intrigued and wanting more.  This will make them want to come and buy our amazing magazine. These readers would, therefore, have prefered reading with my magazine hopefully increasing popularity.

Branding Ideas + Mission Statement

Vers

My new Magazine will be called ‘Vers’ this will be a Rap magazine.

Below is my word board of the first things that came to my head when i thought of ‘Rap’:

Mission statement :  Vers. That’s all I need to say. This Magazine will produce the finest quality of content for the viewers. This unique creation of Rap, will thrill, entertain and produce information for our viewers on their favourite artists. There is no other like this on the market.

So… I’m ready to make some media!

When I now think about making my own tour poster, I need to think about the following;

  • Name – Thinking of a name for the ‘brand’ of magazine company that will  be releasing this magazine is crucial as it need to be relevant to the genre.
  • Theme – When thinking of the theme I need to think on my personal interest in music as I need on the trends of the music, well also keeping up to date with the fashion trends and the status of the famous artists and what is happening.
  • MES – I will need a model to dress up in a chavy sort of style, well using a lot of props and costumes to find the perfect photo. I will personally take the photo on a clear background to then transfer on to a nice, stylish and relate-able to the background as i want people to be able to look at my magazine and see the instant connection to my genre of music.
  • Layout – I want to have a big photo of my model in a stylish situation. This will have a big standout title to the front page with my own magazine ‘Brand’ present.
  • Camera – The camera will help to show the ‘bad guy’kind of ‘old school’ vibe from the first glance of the model on the front of my magazine. This is where i will be dragging my views in with the eye candy front page.

I will be posting about my new ideas in the next few days on how my style will be and there will be news on my genre and ‘brand’. Stay tuned…
