When I make my magazine cover I need to focus on my mise en scene and AIDA, when we did our tour poster I did not focus on these and my poster didn’t have much AIDA and nothing to encourage people to look further into the event. I wasn’t happy with the mise en scene of the image, I didn’t like how the eye line of the star image wasn’t looking at any of the information on the screen but was looking at the reader of the magazine.
Camera
When taking my image I need to focus on making sure my ISO, aperture and shutter speed are on the correct setting to make the image look at clear as possible, I must turn off the fluorescent lighting in the studio and make sure my camera is properly position and focused.
Mise-en scene
My model needs to be wearing the appropriate clothes to go with the genre, which I have already decided in my PMA. My lighting must be set up correctly to ensure my images don’t have any random shadow and the model is lit up. My model needs to be looking in the correct places and not just looking past the camera/away from a POI. My model needs to have the correct props in the photo shoot, this has also been decided in my PMA.
AIDA
I need to use AIDA to make the audience feel like they are apart of a group, I didn’t really use AIDA in my tour poster, I think this can help in making my magazine stand out from others.
Typeface/Fonts
My font is what is going to represent my magazine as it will almost always be the first part of my magazine that the audience will see, my font must follow conventional rap themes but at the same time it must be eye grabbing. AIDA stands for attention, interest, desire and action. It starts when the customer first sees the product and it attracts their attention, then you must make them interested in your product, enough for them to desire it and finally they will act on these feelings and hopefully buy your product.
B&K
Blumler and Katz have 4 uses and gratification of media: entertainment and diversion, social interaction, personal identity and information/surveillance. My magazine must fit into as many of these uses and gratifications as it possibly can to give the consumers something to do with the media.
