4. Camerawork: The camera work clearly uses the conventions
that are provided as My character is on a light background, is
looking straight into the camera and is in a pose.
Usually, magazines when showing the head/face only, they
look straight into the camera but when it shows their upper
body/whole body, they are usually slanted or on an angle.
My picture does follow these conventions as shown below:
5. Language: the language used Follows trends that other
magazines do with keeping the names of artists short
and simple and a title that matches the rest of the article
as shown: There isn’t much that can be said other than
that almost all Music Magazines almost always follow
the same conventions, no magazine differs because they
would not be noticed and recognised by their audience
and would not be sold.
6. Fonts: the fonts used seem to almost Challenge The forms and conventions
as the Magazine name usually is simple and not to complicated with the title
being covered by the main image whereas my Magazine name can be
classed as being quite small, Complicated and is in Front of the Main Picture.
Another Thing that challenged the conventions is my masthead. My
masthead looks like it is enlarged 32-BIT graphics to match the style of my
magazine but it does not look other magazine styles as other magazines are
usually rounded of and match the rest of the fonts on the title page whereas
mine dos not. Simple as that.
7. Colour Schemes: The colour schemes used
matches the genre of my magazine (Euro-dance)
which is made up of light colours for the fonts and
slightly darker colours for the title so that it stands
out. Because it follow the colours of the music
genre, it matches the forms and conventions of
music magazines as the magazine always relates
back to the music for their colours.
This is the original
colour scheme and To
improve the
magazine, The colours
were slightly
lightened/darkened
8. Layout: the Layout used Works with Other magazines and the
conventions as referencing from slide 3, the image matches
conventions and so does the Placing of the price, artist
names, Masthead and Magazine name (date and issue number
included). The Artist’s names near the bottom right corner, the title is
in the middle so it is clearly visible, the Magazine name is in the top
left corner and a barcode in the bottom left. Other magazines that I
found however, did not contain a price on the front cover so to stand
out more, I have included the price of the magazine in the top right
corner.

11. Camerawork: The camera work seems to
differentiate from other magazines slightly as it
only contains two pictures whereas most
magazines contain at least four. Another way in
which the camerawork differentiates is that it
uses images made on software rather than
using photography, All made by myself from
tutorials .
12. Mise-en-scene: The Mise-en scene
for the Picture/ Pictures do seem to
follow conventions. One of the
pictures doesn’t have any Mise-en-scene,
it is just a plain background while the other
picture is of a man leaning against a bright wall
with a shadow being cast. The point of the
image was to show that he had recuperated
after an injury and was able to travel outside
feeling safe.
13. Language: the language
used doesn’t match the
forms of other magazines as
the Contents actually have
Descriptions of what they are
or what they are talking
about. This makes it clearer
for the audience while other
magazines have only a little
statement or no description
whatsoever which, if it is
someone who doesn’t know
the genre of music
well, would get lost at the
contents page itself!
14. Fonts: The fonts used do not necessarily match
the fonts that I chose when planning out my
magazine but I do believe that they follow the
forms that other magazines follow. The Fonts
stand out when it comes to colours like other
magazine,
15. Colour Schemes: The colours used Are all colours
that I personally like and ones that match the
genre of music. The Style also fits well with my
magazine as my magazine uses the same colour
scheme all through the magazine with the fonts on
the front cover, the backgrounds of the pages and
the titles all uses colours top stand out.
16. Layout: The layout just differs
from the conventions of most
magazines although it is hard to
tell as Most magazines Have their
contents page articles simple with
a picture and no divide between
any of them and this is what is
different about my magazine. My
magazine has some information
about the topics, only some of my
articles have images and not all of
them and my articles are divided
into sections (One for each of
them) so this works with
conventions but slightly differs.

19. Camerawork: the camera work for the main image Greatly challenges many forms
and conventions as pop usually is associated with bright colours and loose clothing
and the singers/ artists usually wear either weird clothing or cheap clothing but my
image contains a group with no light colours and wearing tuxedo’s which usually
represent a high status. As the picture used clashes with the usually audience, it
could be classed as controversial and thus challenges the conventions of normal
magazines/pictures. What should have been mentioned in the contents section is the
middle picture which has only been mentioned here because it matches the group
and has the same person in the left picture.
20. Mise-en-scene: The Mise-en-scene Mise-en-scene: The Mise-en-scene
just like the camerawork, works with unlike like the camerawork, works
conventions as most band members with conventions as most band
usually stand together and members usually stand together and
pose, sometimes with effects. In this pose, sometimes with effects. In this
picture, There is 3 people, the size of picture, There are 5 people in one and
a normal group (Usually ranging only 1 in the other .Both have no
between 3-5 and 8-20) and Motion background, they matches the
effects having been used which conventions of other magazines but
means that the image has been a the differences as mentioned on slide
video and all frames have been 19 as wearing suites do not relate well
merged together to create the to Pop music.
image.
21. Language: the language used doesn’t really seem
to match conventions because it does not use any
specialist language. Sure, it may mention the
names of bands and concerts but their is no
specialist lexis (words) used but It may also follow
the forms because I do not necessarily know any
words that convey to euro-dance and I don’t think
that there are any.
22. Fonts: The fonts used work with most magazine styles
as although my magazine doesn’t use a drop down
capital like other magazines. The Fonts on the right page
also are made up of a multitude of fonts and colours
Because it is a different article to the main article and
being an advertisement, it needs to stand out so a
different font and colour was what I deemed to be
necessary.
23. Colour Schemes: the colour schemes match the rest of
my magazine and thus, follow the conventions and forms
of magazines because, usually a magazine will follow
through on its colours and looks throughout its entire
magazine, only slightly changing to relate to an article it
is addressing(I.E A scheme might change if it shows a
different music artist or talks about fashion.)
24. Layout: the layout is different from most magazines as
magazines usually have their page filled with
information on both pages (Full on text) but the
information on my D.P.S covers only half of my double
page spread and the other half is more information
about gig locations and advertisement.
