Research and planning: shot list















this is a picture of one of my class friends. it is an example of a mid-shot. I am going to be using one of these for my magazine.



























This is another mid-shot of another member of my class.


shot types and angles that i am thinking of using in my magazine.

  • Long, wide shot to show the model as well as the background to show the genre and the location -front cover
  • Medium closeup to show the models facial expressions again to go with the genre of R'N'B, a bit of attitude is needed- contents page
  • Shots of the clothing are important for my magazine as this shows the genre of R'N'B a different way- contents page.

research and planning: location recces photos and videos of location with reasons why i am using them
















This is a screen shot of my location. It is a tunnel next to Audenshaw primary . I have used this location as it is a quiet area, inside the tunnel there is a wall with lots of graffiti on it. This would be a perfect location as my genre is R'N'B and the graffiti theme is on other R'N'B magazines.

research and planning: costume and prop list

Costume and prop list

Costume:
• Front cover: Female Model with RnB style clothing on, this will connote that the magazine is for RnB fans just by looking at the front page even before they pick it up off the shelf.

  • On the contents page there will be a "fresh" picture of a model just stud very casual against a grafitti wall. This connotes that the teen model is very rebelious and the graffiti wall connotes that they have no care for anything. This model again will be wearing fashionable clothing worth quiet a bit of money to connote that the magazine isnt just for lower class people, even people with money can like RnB.
  • All of the costumes used within my magazine are all going to suit the genre of RnB.

Props

Research and Planning: Analysis of contents page




















As you can see from the contents page above, a bold image has been used which catches your eye a soon as you look at the page, from the picture you can automatically tell that the female has style, and accessories and that fashion plays a big part for her. The masthead is the biggest thing on the page which is also the magazines title, this also stands out and will be familiar to the audience. This contents page fits the genre of my magazine as it is R'n'B. I have used this magazine contents page to analyse as it has the same layout as mine, the contents list is on the left hand side of the page, 

Research and Planning; analyses of double page spread














This double page spread fits the genre of an R'N'B magazine.

  • The title of the double page spread is the artists name. 'Jamelia' is a well known artist for this specific genre. The masthead is also the biggest thing on the page, not only does it tell you what the story is about it also tell your who it's about, and the image behind the masthead and to the left also shows you.
  • The image of Jamelia used is being modeled and shows she is quiet delicate, and cares about the way she looks, the fact that she has her legs out shows she is confident with her body and doesn't care what people think of her.
  • The colour scheme used is red, black and white. This is used throughout the double page spread, the red and black are typical colours for the R'N'B magazine and the white just breaks it up and gives a feminine touch.
  • The audience for this magazine would be male or female, probably the lower class, usually teenagers, students etc ranging from ages 15-18 years as these are the years that they will be going out and into the latest fashion, music looks etc.
  • The psycho graphics for the genre of this magazine would be a rich wealthy, healthy lifestyle, the interest's would be having a girlfriend or boyfriend, looking good, making sure you have the latest fashion and looks. The value on life you would have would be making sure your in with the latest look, make up, tan, etc.
  • The Socio-economic grouping for this genre of magazine you would be put in if you was just a fan of it would probably be D or E, however if you was one of the celebrities in this genre you would be in gouping A-B.
