This document discusses two different styles of interviews used in music magazines. The first is described as more of an informal discussion that quotes the artists and focuses on their upcoming album. This style makes the band seem more relatable. The second interview summarized the artist's lifestyle rather than their music, which the document says is unconventional for a music magazine. It concludes by praising the simple layout of the second interview spread, but notes the content lacked a music focus.

Question 2
The document discusses how the author's music magazine represents and targets young R&B lovers as its main audience. It does this through the images and poses used of musicians showing some skin but still looking sophisticated to attract teenage girls. The poses aim to look serious like those in other R&B magazines. While the musicians' language in interviews is polite and understandable, their songs often use slang and swear words, which fans enjoy due to the catchy beats.
Chosen photo double page spread
After researching existing R&B music magazines, the author incorporated elements they noticed were common, including an urban alleyway setting with a brick wall, urban street style fashion focused on the color black for the model, and a relaxed posture and lack of eye contact from the model to suggest a chilled atmosphere consistent with an urban photo shoot theme.
Fonts
This document discusses different fonts and their suitability for a hip hop album cover. It analyzes how each font conveys themes of sophistication, maturity, roughness, ownership and personality. Some fonts are said to appeal more to female audiences or create narratives around the artist's background and music. One font in particular is said to have a friendly, relaxed effect that could work well for a digipack cover.
Task 8 audience research summary
The questionnaire showed that the target audience for the magazine was mostly male aged 16-17, and blue was the favorite color. However, the questionnaire had flaws and limited responses. The focus groups provided more useful insights. They found that readers enjoyed learning about the instruments, pictures of bands, tour dates, and facts. Readers wanted the magazine to cover different eras and styles of rock music. Both the interviews and focus groups suggested including free items, interviews, and easy to read writing to attract and engage readers.
Focus group interview 2
According to a focus group interview about R&B music, participants associated the genre with soulful music and artists like Jay-Z from the past.

My Image evaluation
The document discusses reasons for not choosing various images to represent a pop music genre. Image 1 was rejected because its background style was more suited to indie or country music. Image 2 showed models with unprepared facial expressions and poses that were better for rock bands than pop.

Image 4 was also deemed unsuitable due to its image style being more aligned with reggae music than pop.
How my rock music magazine represent people
The document discusses how fonts, colors, and photography are used in a rock music magazine to represent the artists featured.

Dark colors like black create an atmosphere that represents artists as powerful and mysterious, while white fonts make parts stand out and represent artists as fashionable trendsetters. Photographs use props like guitars and drums or expressive poses to represent artists as loud, energetic, and aggressive. Camera angles and clothing also represent dominance, social class, and casualness.

Mrs middleton overview work
The artist discusses their rise to fame, saying it all feels like a blur from living in a council flat to owning a mansion. Gaining over 100,000 Twitter followers from one song made them feel "on top of the world." To deal with fame, being responsible was key as famous people must be role models. Their favorite track on the new album is "Ambition of a King" because it captures their drive and ambition to succeed in the industry.
Indie Iconography
The document discusses similarities between indie rock band websites, including dark color schemes, images of bands performing live, and visible instruments like drums and guitars. It also provides recommendations for logo design for a band called "The Pigeon Detectives", suggesting that a simple, readable font style in lowercase letters would best suit their casual image and attract a younger audience. Darker colors should still be used but complemented by brighter tones like blue and orange to avoid looking dull.
Double page spread analysis
This double page spread from KERRANG! magazine features several photos of an indie/rock band laid out across the pages. The lead singer is prominently featured in some close-up shots. The text is organized into columns discussing the band's fun yet serious image and their enjoyment of making music over popularity. A pull quote from the lead singer emphasizes his importance to the band. The article introduces the band in an enthusiastic yet informal manner aimed at younger readers.
Music magazines pp
The layout of the Kerrang! double page spread separates the opening quote and main band member photo across two pages to draw the reader in. The large background photo and quote are meant to connect the reader to the band member on a human level. The color scheme of greens, yellows, and whites reflects the band and their music.
The NME feature uses neutral tones and pastel colors to suggest the musician's calm, relaxed style is reflected in his music. Photos have a retro edit to imply his music reflects styles from decades ago.
The Mac DeMarco feature in Q Magazine has a messy, disorganized layout meant to look like cut and pasted newspaper clippings. The retro 90s theme

Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the student's horror film trailer, poster, and magazine cover utilize and challenge conventions of real media products in these genres.
The trailer follows horror conventions like building tension through editing and music. It also challenges conventions by using bright lighting in some scenes. The poster features the villain prominently as is common, but reveals her fully rather than keeping her secret. The magazine cover resembles real publications through layout and design elements but challenges conventions through its color scheme and smoke imagery relating to the film's narrative.
Poster Layout/Flat Plan
The document discusses the layout and design process for a movie poster. It describes two initial flat plan designs, one with the film title at the top and pull quote underneath, and another with the title also at the top due to the positioned image. The first design was chosen for the final poster. In the final version, the film title was moved to the bottom above credits, while the pull quote was enlarged and centered at the top for better visual impact and to follow conventional horror poster conventions.
Title and font use
The document discusses the choices made for the title, font, and effects for a film project. It explains that the titles "It was never" and "Just a game" directly reference the film's narrative about friends summoning a demon through an online game. A Japanese-style font was selected to match the film's setting. A moving smoky background effect was included behind the titles to tie into the film's water theme and make the titles stand out, following conventions seen in other movie trailers.
Careful use of mise en-scene
The document discusses the use of mise-en-scene in the filmmaker's horror trailer. It describes the outdoor locations of a tunnel and woods used for filming due to their creepy and unsettling atmospheres. Indoor locations included houses where most of the filming took place to scare the audience by violating the safety of the home, and a school to contrast with darker settings and establish the teen characters. Clothing choices were also described, with the protagonist Lilith in black to foreshadow danger and the villain in a white nightgown to suggest innocence turned evil and play with the black vs white binary opposition.
Characters and Props
The document provides a cast list and character descriptions for a student film involving a group of friends who summon a ghost. It includes the main characters of Blake, Lilith, Gracelynn, Kieron, and Akumu-san, along with the teacher. Locations needed for filming include a house with a bathroom and bedroom, an alleyway, and a basement. Props listed are a bath, rosary cross, laptop, and mirror. The document also mentions camera equipment like two cameras, an iPhone, and a tripod.
Audience research – analysing my survey results
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted for an audience research project on horror films. Key findings include:
- Supernatural and psychological horror were most popular genres. Common fears like death, darkness, clowns and spiders will be incorporated.
- 42% watch horror a few times a month, showing it's still relevant. Domestic settings and haunted houses are commonly found scariest.
- Films like The Conjuring and The Woman in Black involving ghosts were most frightening. Villains like Freddy Krueger are psychologically scary.
- Leaving much to the imagination in trailers is preferred over revealing full plots. Either male or female villains can be effective
Prelim - Construction and Editing
The document summarizes the preliminary tasks involved in constructing an edited video clip that mimics an original clip from a film. The tasks included trimming clips to the correct length and order, setting beginning and end frames, slightly reducing the speed of some clips to match the original pace, changing sound levels to make the audio smoother, and applying effects to mimic the quality of older cameras used in the original film.
Clover’s final girl theory
Carol Clover developed the "Final Girl" theory to describe the last female character who confronts the killer in horror films, especially slashers. The Final Girl is often a virgin or sexually unavailable, smart, and curious. She survives to tell the story. For example, in Scream, Sidney Prescott fits this role as the intelligent virgin teenager who fights back against the killer across multiple films, growing stronger each time.
Well’s research and Cohen’s moral panic
Wells conducted a small focus group study in 2000 involving horror film audiences of different age groups. He found that their interests and fears aligned with the real world horrors of their era. Older groups were less scared by graphic violence after experiencing World War 2, while younger groups were desensitized to gore from increased on-screen exposure. Cohen's theory of moral panic posits that the media can define certain groups as societal threats, influencing viewers. The film The Purge uses the moral panics of crime and gun control in America as sources of fear. More recent horror also taps into modern moral panics like online privacy issues in films like Unfriended.
Vampires Over Time
This document discusses how the portrayal of vampires has developed from 1922 to the present. Early films like Nosferatu depicted vampires as physically repulsive monsters, while Dracula in 1958 appeared gentlemanly but still followed gothic conventions. Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992 provided backstory to elicit more sympathy. The Twilight series from 2008 made vampires attractive and romanticized their relationship with humans. Let the Right One In in 2008 also portrayed a sympathetic vampire but with more graphic violence.
Evaluation Question 7
1) Looking back at their preliminary college magazine task, the author feels they have improved various skills from gaining experience creating a full music magazine product.
2) Specifically, the author notes improvements in using Photoshop tools, capturing higher quality images, including more content, and following magazine design conventions better in the music magazine compared to the preliminary task.

My Artists' Image
The document summarizes the makeup and outfit choices for a model portraying an alternative rock artist. For makeup, blemishes were concealed and a smoky dark brown eye and berry lip color were used. Three outfits incorporating dark colors, ripped jeans, and boots were selected to fit the genre's typical grungy, rugged style. The first two outfits featured plaid shirts with black tops and jeans. The third outfit included a black cropped top, pink floral skirt overlaying a plaid pattern, and black boots.

- 1. The interview used for this Double Page Spread is more of a discussion with quotes from the artists dropped in here and there. This style of interview is quite effective as it isn’t too direct and is quite and informal and laid-back style to use. It works well as this is quite a famous band of this genre and therefore people already know quite a bit about them, this style also makes them seem more normal as they’re almost having just a conversation. I like that the interviewee is just focusing on the album the band is releasing and not going off the topic of music which some interviews often do. The bar at the side is also a good feature as it links in well with the rest of the interview because it talks about some new songs they will be releasing.
- 2. This double page spread is quite brief and not very interview-like, apart from the ending where they use some of the artist’s quotes. Instead this is more of a breakdown of his lifestyle and what he enjoys to do as well as where he lives. I’m not very keen on this because there is no relation to music in this article at all, apart from the fact that he is a member of a band, which isn’t very conventional for a music magazine. I’m not going to do an interview like this because I’m focusing on my artist’s new album but I may include some aspects such as being recognised as famous because it is somewhat relative. I like the layout of this double page spread as it is quite simplistic yet effective due to the colours and title of the ‘interview’.
