1. Aftercompletingthe audience categoriestaskwithinthe
PlanningandResearchIhave nowgot a clearideaof what I want
my targetaudience tobe.I wantto target teens/youngadults.
Alsoas mygenre for mymusicmagazine ishiphop/rapI will
onlybe targetingcertaingroupswithinthe teens/youngadults.
Thisis because mygenre hasa more targetedapproachinthe
fact that the musicpeople mightlistentointhisgenre wouldn’t
be somethingyouwouldperhapssee come upina popcharts
sectionina more mainstreammusicmagazine.Therefore from
thisI can see my targetaudience fall underthe individualists
categorise.AlsothatIfeel thismusicmagazine will targetmainly
the middle/middle-upperclass.
Againafterlookingbackat my previoustaskIhave usedmy
questionnaire andthe analysisforittohelpme withmyfirst
ideasforwhat kindof photographyIhope to lookat and use
whenI finalisethe shotsIam taking.Fromthe questionnaire I
foundoutthat the mid shot,close upand wide angle shotwere
the most populartypesof shotthat people wanttosee inmy
magazine.PersonallyIwould defiantly goforthe midshotas it is
a easyand simple waytoshoota model togetacross a lot of
differentdemographicsthatisrelatedtomygenre.I wouldhave
to playaroundwiththe close up and wide angle shotand
personally Idon’tthinkaclose up wouldshowoff the
demographicsasmuchand I want thatto playa biggerrole in
my magazine
Whenit comesto havingall the differentconventionswithinthe
frontcover anddouble page spreadIwant to include all of the
importantonessuchas the mast headand coverlinesetc.…sofor
the mast headI want touse a verysan serif style of fonttorelate to
the genre as hiphop/rapis notshownas formal and I don’twantto
give thatkindof effecttomymagazine as that wouldattracta more
upperclasstarget audience whichisnot whatI’mgoingfor. I want to
demographicstoplaya biggerrole (mainly onthe frontpage) in
tellingthe targetaudience exactlywhatthismagazineisgoingtobe
about.I like thisideaasit isa differentwayof expressingwhat
informationyouneedtogetacrossto the audience tomake them
wantto read the magazine,butpersonallyIthinkitisa more
modernwayof doingso.
As forthe contentsof thismusicmagazine Ialsousedmy
questionnaire resultstotell me the kindsof articelsthatpeople
wouldpersonallylikebetter.The mostpopularresponse wasa
news/gossibarticle.SoIhave chosentogo for that as thenI
have clearlyusedmyotherresearchandplanningtasksto help
me come upeithmy initial ideas.If Iwantedtotake it any
furtherI wouldwanttostay away fromthe more mainstream
stylesof articelsincludingthingslike topchartsandthingslike
that as that wouldnotreach outto my targetaudience and
make themwantto readr my musicmagazine.
