Researching Genres

This is a power point showing my research on genres as this will help me chose what genre is best for me to make my magazine. I had to research genres which I wouldn't normally read which allowed me to gain knowledge on other genres, such as classical. Having this know will allow me to know what is best for my target audience so I meet their needs.

Nas - Nas Is Like

 This is a Nas video from the early 90s.

This is XXL Magazine cover, the target audience  for this magazine is young people who are interested in Hip-Hop and Urban music. The artist is represented as a strong man as he is in a fighting position. The Tattoos could be to show that he is a tough veteran of the music game. His jewellery also represents his wealth.

Risk Assessment

The link below shows the risk assessment, which outlines all the possible risks that can occur on a photo shoot and I explain the risk, how it can be avoided and at the end I will review the risk. I had to think hard about what things could happen while taking pictures as I wanted my pictures to come out perfect.

Production Log

This is my first production log and I feel that the task set is quite challenging as I need to plan all my research for my magazine, this will include mood boards, questionnaires and feedback from my target audience. I believe that with planing my final magazine will have the conventions which you will find in a typical hip hop magazine. My first bit of research and planning was to make a mood board.    

First Thoughts in Response to the Task Set

My first thoughts on the task set was to find what genre I was going to base my magazine on. I was trilled and excited to create a music magazine as I enjoy music. Overall creating a music magazine will be hard and difficult as I have never done media before but overtime I know I will overcome any challenges that I will face and will be able to make an amazing magazine.

This is my magazine cover. it is a basic first attempt at the school magazine cover.

I took this photo show that he is an academic student who is ready to learn and focus at school. The lighting in the photo makes it effective as it shows his face. The Background is well lit showing the surroundings clearly.

This is an image that will represent the school as it clearly shows it the school crest and motto.

 

 

This is a still image of a student playing football. it is a wide shot and  has very good lighting.

 

 

This student is playing a guitar, the student is always smartly dressed showing that he is serious about school
