Brief
This document discusses the requirements for creating a music magazine, which included designing a front cover, contents page, and double page spread. The magazine needed to include at least 4 primary source images and an original celebrity interview as part of the double page spread. All names used in the magazine also had to be original creations.
Q1.
The document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real magazines. It analyzes the front cover, contents page, and double page spread sections.

Front cover draft 1
This 3 sentence summary provides the high level information from the document:
The document discusses a first draft of a front cover for a magazine. However, the author has not yet decided on a name for the magazine. In just a few sentences, the author notes they are working on their first draft for a magazine cover but are still determining the magazine's name.
Question 1
The document discusses how a student's media product for a music magazine uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real magazines. The student uses standard magazine formatting conventions like mastheads, fonts, and color schemes for the front cover. For the contents page, the student develops conventions by including photos of multiple artists. The double-page spread challenges conventions by including three pulled quotes instead of the typical one, and two mastheads, to highlight the featured artist and make the spread stand out more. The front cover and contents page aim to be mainstream, while the double-page spread emphasizes uniqueness.

B324 focus-group-flowchart
The document provides guidance on conducting an effective focus group to gather feedback on a music video. It recommends determining the key things to learn from the focus group, such as whether the target audience would enjoy the video and its plot. It also suggests using an introductory activity to quickly obtain this important information while engaging the audience. The focus group should then gather opinions on the characters, storyline, and improvements before concluding.
Evaluation question 2
The document summarizes a student film project. It describes how the film's setting, costumes, actors, and some story elements were deliberately chosen to be stereotypical of teenagers and fit with the target audience of 15-30 year olds. It also explains that certain scenes and techniques from the films Paranormal Activity 2 and 3 were replicated or inspired the student film. This was partly due to the ages of the actors starring in those films matching the target demographic.
Contents page
This document provides a comparison of contents pages from the Bible and a school magazine for girls. It notes that the Bible contents page is plain and uniform without colors or fonts to set a serious tone, while the school magazine contents page features pictures of only girls and purple colored writing to indicate it is for a girls' school through more decorative design choices.
Task 6
The document discusses genres that will be featured in an indie magazine - indie-rock and indie-pop. It provides a brief history of both genres, noting their origins in the UK and influential artists. Examples of current indie-rock bands mentioned are Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines, The Strokes and The Vaccines. For indie-pop, examples given are Ellie Goulding, Marina & The Diamonds, Noah & The Whale and Two Door Cinema Club. The document also includes examples of covers from magazines NME and Q that showcase indie artists.
My screenshots of the use of photoshop
The document describes Rebecca Walsh's use of Photoshop tools to edit a photo for her school magazine. She used the crop tool to select part of an original image, the spot healing brush tool to remove marks on tables, and cut out the main image to add a colored background. Finally, she used the paint bucket tool to make the background light pink, the school color, and adjusted the brightness and contrast of the image.
Evaluation 3
IPC Media would be a suitable institution to distribute the music magazine "RIFF" because they distribute similar niche magazines focused on specific music genres, including "NME" and "Uncut". IPC engages with a large audience in the UK across different platforms. Though Bauer Media is a large multi-platform media group, they tend to distribute more mass market music magazines rather than niche publications, so they would not be a good fit for the targeted indie/alternative music genre of "RIFF".
Evaluation (4)
The document discusses how the author targeted their media product's audience based on research. They created a reader profile for Andrew, a 17-year-old male student, to represent their target audience. They conducted a survey that showed the audience being equally male and female, aged 15-24, and in the ABC1 social class. To appeal to this audience, the author included images and topics that younger people could relate to, used fonts and language appropriate for their age, and incorporated social media icons. They also priced the product at £2.50 based on survey responses to appeal to students' budgets.
R&b music magazine questionnaire
This document is a questionnaire for an R&B music magazine that asks respondents about their age, gender, whether they read R&B magazines, their favorite aspects of R&B magazines such as artists or interviews, their preferred style of R&B music such as old school or soulful, whether they prefer male or female R&B singers, their favorite R&B artist, their views on recent trends in R&B music, and whether they enjoy R&B covers of songs from other genres.
In bruges
The document summarizes key elements from the movie "In Bruges". It notes that scenes of the two main characters walking in Bruges establish they feel out of place in the town and there is conflict between them. Images of Bruges at night suggest the town will be where critical events, possibly death, occur. Statues and the frequent fading to darkness may symbolize death, with lack of stars further indicating a lack of hope in Bruges. Both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are used to set the plot and tone, with lighter non-diegetic sounds providing some brightness to an otherwise dark film.
The music biz meatloaf
This documentary focuses on the musician Meatloaf and his career in the music industry. It includes interviews with people who knew Meatloaf discussing his rise to fame and his work. There is also a section about conflict between Meatloaf and another star over the song "YMCA". The documentary uses handheld camera work and editing techniques like montages and cutaways to keep the audience entertained. It ends by showing the full music video for one of Meatloaf's songs.
Class Dismissed
The documentary "Class Dismissed" examines common stereotypical portrayals of the working class in American television through history. It analyzes how TV often depicts working class people as either clowns or social deviants, reinforcing the myth of meritocracy. The film explores economic, political, and cultural definitions of class. It also discusses stereotypical working class professions and the 1950s concept of an "imaginary middle class" created through consumerism.
Magazine advert
The document announces that a new album will be released on April 20th. It does not provide any other details about the artist or album. The document directs readers to GIBB.COM for more information.
Masthead font ideas
The document discusses finding 5 possible fonts that could be used for the masthead names of two different magazines - "DANCE" focusing on general music, and "ELECTRO" focusing on house/electronic music. For each magazine, the author will research which font best fits the masthead name and genre.
Possible iDEAS
The document lists and provides brief assessments of possible topic ideas for a documentary, including stray dogs/dog homes, buskers of Solihull, tattoos/piercings/body modification, feminism + sexism, veganism, LGBT+ rights, poverty, racism, and life of a college student. It finds tattoos/body modification, feminism + sexism, and LGBT+ rights to be the most interesting and accessible topics that would provide controversy and engage broad audiences, while ruling out stray dogs, buskers, veganism, poverty, racism, and student life.
Detailed Draft for Magazine
This document appears to be a draft magazine article written by Chelsea Miller. While the title "Detailed Magazine Draft" provides little context on the topic or content of the article, it indicates this is an initial version of a piece intended for publication in a magazine. Further review would be needed to understand the key points and perspective presented in the draft.
Contents page analysis
The document contains reviews of the contents pages of three different magazines - Q magazine, Billboard magazine, and Rock Sound magazine. The reviewer criticizes the Q magazine contents page for having a large band photograph that takes up too much space, leaving little room for other information. They suggest using a smaller photo and adding a band index or editor responses. In contrast, they praise the Billboard magazine page for its use of color, pictures, different fonts and sizes to guide the eye around the page. Finally, they analyze the Rock Sound page and say it effectively conveys its focus on rock music through images of tattooed musicians and references to rock bands, while also amusing readers with a comment about pop star Justin Bieber.
Screenshots of my double page spread
The document describes the production of a double page magazine spread in Quark about an upcoming artist. The author inserted a main image across one whole page and wrote an article about the artist. Text was drawn into boxes across three columns and linked together for easier reading. A title was added using the insert text tool that promoted the article's story. Pull quotes from the article in bigger font were used to engage readers.
Front covers, contents pages, double page spreads #5
The double page spread features an image of Liam Gallagher on the left page taking up the entire space. On the right page is a header "Beady Eye" in large text at the top with background information on the band below in a "kicker". The text article begins with a large "T" and uses a formal style aimed at an older, higher audience. The layout is simple with the image on one side and text on the other, following magazine conventions. The overall design provides information to readers about the featured artist through the use of images, text styles and placements.
