Question 2
This document discusses the target audience, content, and design choices for a magazine focused on hip hop artists. The target audience is identified as young black adults from lower-class backgrounds who can relate to the hardships faced by rappers. However, research found that white lower-class and middle-class individuals also appreciate hip hop music.

Famous rappers The Notorious B.I.G. and Eminem will be featured to serve as relatable idols for the audience.

The magazine represents rock music as aggressive and rebellious. It does this through images on the cover that portray male rock artists as dominant through their large size and body language showing aggression.

Mid-shots are used to capture serious facial expressions and body language that convey aggression and rebellion.
Overview
The document provides an overview of the front covers of 12 issues of the Billboard magazine in order to analyze the codes and conventions used to address the target audience. The front covers all feature common magazine design elements like a dominant main image, surrounding sell lines, and masthead in a consistent font and location. Most covers feature solo female R&B or hip hop artists wearing dresses to look beautiful and feminine. While the dresses differ for each artist's image, the masthead font and placement remain consistent to maintain the magazine's brand identity. The sell lines primarily promote the artists' success and music rather than gossip. All covers have a plain background for readability and consistency in representing the magazine's brand.

Coveranalysis[1]
This document analyzes and compares the front covers of two magazines - Rolling Stone and NME. It summarizes the target audiences, styles, and elements of each magazine cover.

Location scout 3
Under the Wearmouth bridge is proposed as a location because it is secluded so people won't interfere and has an urban look.

Sunderland's train station has pros as a typically urban setting that could provide low-key lighting, but it is too public as trains would disrupt shooting.

Evaluation 1
This document analyzes how a student-created music magazine uses and develops conventions from real music magazines. It finds the magazine employs many standard conventions across its layout, design elements, and content. However, it challenges some conventions by featuring a woman on the cover rather than the typical male artists found on most hip hop and R&B magazine covers. The document provides specific examples to support how the student magazine incorporates conventions through its masthead, sell lines, colors, puffs, front cover, contents page, and double page spreads while also noting one way it diverges from expectations.
media studies evaluation task
I would distribute my magazine through WHSmith. WHSmith is a large national retailer that sells magazines and newspapers across the UK. They have a strong presence on high streets and in transport hubs, so my magazine would get wide visibility with potential readers. WHSmith also has an established distribution network to get magazines onto shelves quickly each month. Distributing through an existing large retailer like WHSmith would allow me to focus on magazine content while benefiting from their expertise and infrastructure for physical distribution.

Media presentation main task
Chelsey Compton presented three initial ideas for a music magazine focusing on hip-hop, R&B, or rap genres. Peer feedback was gathered, with the hip-hop magazine receiving praise for its target demographic but criticism for its stereotypical layout. The R&B magazine's title and cover image were found to appeal more to females. And the rap magazine's description of its target audience was disliked. Based on this feedback, Chelsey decided to create a hip-hop magazine focused on new artist collaborations, targeting 16-20 year olds, with a graphic text style.

Essay on short film
This short film follows Adam, a lonely college student. In the beginning, establishing shots are used to set the scene and show Adam isolated from others by wearing a zipped up coat. Scenes show Adam walking alone on campus and storming out of an empty classroom to convey he is not alone by choice. Later, a close up on Adam's Facebook shows he has many online friends but none in real life. The film ends with contrasting shots of Adam leaving campus alone as the sky darkens, shattering his illusion of a happy college experience as he remains isolated from his peers.
Question 3
The document summarizes feedback received from the audience for a magazine targeted at film fans aged 16+. Research showed that film watching is a common hobby. Feedback indicated that some prefer regional magazines over national ones. The typical audience member is aged 16+, working class, enjoys cinema as a social event, and likes superhero films. Classroom feedback noted the layout and fonts were neat, tidy, and readable. Changes were made to the front cover image and content page based on this feedback to make the magazine more interesting and remove dead space.

3 website deconstruction's
The document analyzes the website layouts of three publications: Empire, Total Film, and a regional magazine. It notes that Empire uses the main article and advertisements to draw attention, while Total Film places its main article at the top. The regional magazine has a basic layout with limited genres and few external links, showing its more localized focus compared to the other two national publications.
Generic conventions
The document discusses generic conventions for magazine design, including using a bold masthead at the top of the front cover, listing contents on the right side of the contents page with an editor's note and page numbers at the bottom, including three columns of article text and a drop cap on double page spreads, keeping images and main text separated on billboards, and maintaining the same masthead name on the magazine website for consistency.
Model,prop and location organisation and photoshoot planning
The document discusses planning a photoshoot with a friend as the model. It considers three potential models - Adam, who has modeled before and understands cameras; Sion, whose reliability and camera skills are unknown; and Alec, a longtime friend whose style may not match the vision but offers filmmaking knowledge. Adam is selected as the model. Props of a camera and clapperboard are discussed. The shoot will take place under a bridge to allow an urban backdrop, requiring no special permission.
Presentation1
1) The survey results showed the author's audience is more diverse in gender than expected and includes a sizable female audience interested in film.
2) Most of the author's audience are avid film fans who enjoy both mainstream blockbusters and independent films. A minority are more casual fans that the author can educate about film.
3) While many audience members pirate films online, they also frequently go to cinemas and use streaming services, keeping them up to date on new releases. This gives the author opportunities to discuss various types of films.
Billboard rationale
The billboard design will feature three images - a black and white photo of an old filmmaker on the left, a color photo of a young filmmaker on crutches on the right, and the magazine cover in the center. Below the magazine cover, the red masthead "Northern Film" will stretch across. The pull quote "Love film? Get Reading!" is intended to be short, memorable, and aggressive to promote the magazine. The color scheme contrasts black and white on the left with color on the right, while the red masthead stands out for readability.
Flat plans
This document outlines a marketing plan that includes digital and physical components such as a website, billboards, and direct phone sales to promote an unknown product or service. The plan covers digital presence, outdoor advertising, and direct engagement with potential customers.
Website rationale
The homepage of the website will have labels across the top for navigation and the most relevant article will be the largest to attract attention. Less important past articles will be smaller below the main article. The right side will list current month's articles in descending order. Black and white coloring suits the film topic but important text will stand out in different colors. Fonts will vary in boldness and size to distinguish importance.
Dps rationale
The document provides a rationale for using images and formatting in a digital publication. It plans to use four film poster images, two on the left and two on the right, to represent four chosen films. It will identify the films with their titles and Rotten Tomatoes scores next to the images, along with short descriptions. The main text will be separated from the film descriptions using different colors and fonts, with the main text in bold. Larger and bolder fonts will be used for the masthead and pull quote, while the strapline will be in a medium font and main body in small font. Black and white text will be used normally, with red text to draw attention. White text against the film images is also planned.
Contents page rationale
The document provides a rationale for the design of the contents page of a magazine. It states that there will be two images - a dominant color image of the director to link to the main story, and a smaller black and white profile image for the editor's note. Font sizes will follow the cover design with larger bolder fonts for important text. The contents page will primarily be in black and white to seem mature, with one accent color like red to highlight important items and catch readers' attention. Only the most relevant sections and stories will be listed with page numbers, with the double page spread being the main highlight.
Flat plans
Flat Plans is a book by Callum Hemmings. It discusses various floor plans and designs for apartments and other multi-unit residential buildings. The book provides architects and developers with ideas and examples of efficient layouts that maximize living space within property boundaries.
Front cover rationale
For the front cover of their film magazine, the author wants to:
1) Feature a dominant central image of a fictional film director that covers the masthead to convey professionalism.
2) Include background images of posters for four made-up films to make the cover more visually interesting.
3) Have the main sell line celebrate the fictional director Adam Tyson and the four films, while secondary lines promote other film-related events in the Northeast region.
4) Use differing fonts sized and styles to distinguish the masthead, main sell line, and other sell lines based on importance.
Model,prop and location organisation and photoshoot planning
My friend Adam agreed to be the model for my photography shoot. As my model, Adam is reliable, comfortable in front of the camera, and can provide a second opinion on shots since he also does photography. We are organizing props including Adam's camera, my old film clapperboard, and Adam's crutches. I received Adam's consent to take his photo and use his camera as a prop. The shoot will take place under a bridge to include an urban backdrop, which does not require any permits unlike other potential studio locations.
Model, and prop organisation and photoshoot planning
The document discusses the planning of a model photoshoot. The author chose his friend Adam as the model because they are both experienced with photography and comfortable working together. Props like a camera and clapperboard with film themes were selected. Permission was obtained from the model for the shoot and use of his camera as a prop. Location and details will be confirmed closer to the scheduled photoshoot date.
Collage of front cover, contents and dps
The document discusses how movie posters convey genre through simplistic poses of the main characters. It analyzes several movie posters, noting that Trainspotting conveys drama through the serious look and black and white color scheme of the main character. The Hunger Games and Suicide Squad posters signal action through the characters' costumes and weapons as well as backgrounds showing explosions. A poster for Anne Hathaway signals a crime thriller through her calm expression and handcuffed pose in a business suit before an office setting. A poster for Spiderman conveys both drama and action through its dark tones and Spiderman's brooding pose as he hangs from a building.

- 2. Prices • Because price is among the most crucial parts of a magazine, I intend to have my price under £5. This is because most music magazines are over £5 so it will make it easier for my magazine to compete. This magazine front cover doesn’t have price on view. My magazine will have the price on show so people know what the price is.
- 3. Images • My magazine will only have a dominant image on the front cover and wont have various sub images around it, as it is an older magazine and not for kids. While this makes it a standout against other music genres, it follows the same model as other rap magazines.
- 4. Bands/ Artists My Magazine focuses on hip hop, meaning it will be looking at rappers. I want to look at both Classic rappers and modern rappers to satisfy fans of both. I don’t want to use freebies as I don’t consider them necessary. Vibe focuses on Classic rap, calling it “real rap”
