The document discusses choosing locations for photo shoots for an R&B/Hip Hop magazine. The author wants to show both the glamorous and realistic sides of the genres.

This document discusses potential shooting locations and shots for a grime music video that will convey the urban culture and conventions of the genre. Low angle shots in a car park will make the actor seem powerful. Shots down city-like streets will show the urban environment, while shots of graffiti and barbed wire fences can represent crime and restricted areas associated with urban culture. These locations and shots will demonstrate the filmmaker's understanding of grime music video conventions.
Marketing media
The document discusses various marketing materials for a horror film, including a trailer, poster, billboard, and website. The trailer uses suspenseful music and visuals of blood and action to intrigue viewers without revealing details of the film's plot. The poster and billboard depict the main character covered in blood against a dark background, symbolizing the horror she experiences. Some marketing had to be changed after a real-life bombing damaged a bus displaying one billboard. The film's website matches the dark, unsettling atmosphere of the movie through its use of red light, moving backgrounds, and cryptic text.
Lily allen 22 Analysis
The video depicts the artist feeling lonely and unhappy in a bar. Scenes show her stumbling through crowds, receiving mean looks from other women in the bathroom. Shots of the artist and other women looking disheveled in the mirror emphasize feeling pressure and competition. While the artist lip syncs, depicting the classic pop convention, other women join in to illustrate shared feelings of loneliness. The video has a sad tone despite the cheerful song. It breaks pop conventions by lacking a happy ending, as the male interest disappears, showing he was just a fantasy.
Q1
1) The document discusses the conventions of soap operas that the author's media product used, developed, or challenged in their soap opera trailer.
2) Key conventions included a non-linear narrative with multiple storylines, cliffhangers to intrigue audiences, and elements of realism through everyday activities and issues portrayed.
3) The author's trailer incorporated these conventions through flashbacks, an ambiguous cliffhanger about the killer's identity, and having characters with roles like a priest or nurse.
Nicki Minaj –The Boys (presentation)
This document provides an analysis of the music video for Nicki Minaj's song "The Boys" featuring Cassie. The analysis discusses various postmodern elements in the video including its use of retro film styles, references to Minaj's persona and past work, merging of reality and hyperreality, and deconstruction of gender roles. The video takes place in an exaggerated pink world representing a Barbie doll fantasyland, with Minaj and Cassie depicted using common Barbie imagery and tropes. Through elements like editing, cinematography, and narrative devices, the video blurs lines between reality and fiction.
Street art
Street art can include any art developed in public spaces, including traditional graffiti, artwork stickers, street posters, video projections, and flashmobbing or street installations. The document discusses some famous street artists including Harald Naegeli, Banksy, and JR. JR owns the largest art gallery in the world through his work exhibited in streets worldwide. Some of JR's projects discussed are "Portrait of a Generation", which involved posting large portraits of suburban youths in upscale Paris districts, "Face2Face" where he posted huge portraits of Israelis and Palestinians on both sides of the security fence, and "Women are Heroes" to highlight the dignity of women affected by conflicts.

Bloodwars.graffiti.magazine.4. .04.2003
This magazine issue provides a summary of the author's observations of graffiti in 5 western European cities - Amsterdam, London, Paris, Berlin, and Hanover. Some key points:
- Graffiti seems to be more accepted as a hobby in Europe, with supplies more readily available. Cities feel more lively with people out late.
- Train lines across Europe are heavily covered in pieces and straight letters. Pastel colors are more common than in the US.
- Amsterdam has a large graffiti culture like San Francisco once did, with both old school and new writers.
- Berlin has a rawer, local style since the fall of the Berlin Wall 12 years ago. Graffiti vibrates through the

Evaluation q1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of real rap music videos. It uses flashbacks in black and white to portray the rapper's struggle in the past. Shots of the rapper counting small change show not having money. Edits between shots of a cheap past and expensive present lifestyle portray change. Close-ups and lighting build emotion around struggling in the past. Branding and props, like an expensive watch or shisha pipe, challenge ideas of wealth typically shown in rap videos. Both past hardship and current success are shown to develop a more complete story.
Apply narrative to one of your coursework productions
This document discusses the narrative elements in a music video the author created for their coursework. It analyzes how various film and narrative theories were applied to tell the story and engage the audience. Binary oppositions between indoor and outdoor scenes were used to represent the "living" and "dying" states mentioned in the song. Todorov's theory of narrative structure provided an original equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium. The mise-en-scene and costumes further developed the narrative and relationship of the artist through ideas like voyeurism and how she challenges or accepts the male gaze. Overall, the author believes the polysemic narrative kept the audience engaged and allowed different interpretations of the story.
Lyric analysis
The lyrics analyze a band responding to criticism of changing their musical style from drum and bass to incorporating more rock elements. The lyrics suggest the band had hoped fans would understand this change but faced accusations of "selling out." The band asserts they were wrongly criticized and made the change to evolve their sound, not for money. The repetitive lyrics and instrumental parts seem aimed to showcase their new style and "lash out" at critics of their transition.

My survey
The document discusses survey results about preferences for an urban drama film trailer and marketing. Key points include:
1) The largest audience is 15-19 year olds, so the trailer should suit that age group in terms of language and fonts. Early 20-somethings who have more money should also be considered.
2) Analyzing the successful "Kidulthood" trailer could provide inspiration for props, costumes, settings, and characters.
3) Music with beats similar to popular urban artist Kano could be used. Hoodies and tracksuits reflect the genre.
4) Props should include some related to violence, sex and drugs but not too much to still appeal to female viewers.

1. The document provides reasoning for photo shoot choices to portray male R&B and hip hop artists in a magazine spread. Photos showing an expensive car, suit, plain t-shirt, trainers, shoes, watch, sunglasses, and belt were chosen to portray wealth, success, masculinity, dominance, and a lavish lifestyle. Backgrounds, poses, and costumes were selected to convey different impressions including arrogance, seriousness, and intimacy. The goal was to represent the genres and engage readers through stereotypical imagery.

Katie Homer is a transgender fashion designer who graduated in 2015. She is showcasing her new Autumn/Winter collection which explores drag culture and perceptions of gender. The event will take place at The Village in Westfield on November 18th, 2016. It will have a beauty salon theme to reflect the glamorous nature of Homer's designs and drag culture. Male drag queens will model the sculptural, avant-garde pieces to challenge ideas of femininity. The event aims to celebrate the LGBT community and drag's growing acceptance while fundraising for charity.
Storyboard pp
This document contains several storyboard plans for different sections of a music magazine focused on R&B and hip hop genres. The plans include using close-up, mid-shot, and full-body shots of models to represent the magazine's style and genre on the masthead. Other storyboard plans consider props like headphones and poses of models to feature on the contents page and draw attention. The final plan proposes a double-page spread with a large close-up image of an artist as a conventional and effective way to showcase a main feature article.
Double page spread feedback
This document summarizes feedback on the first draft of a double page magazine spread. Reviewers liked the color scheme and how arrows moved through the pages, finding it captivating. However, they thought the page looked slightly empty and could be more complete. While the image and font choices made it look like a hip hop magazine, the content was deemed more suitable for an older audience of 18-21 year olds. Page numbers were a nice authentic touch. Reviewers suggested adding something else to fill out the page.
Annotated poster / advert analysis
Rich Chigga's tour poster uses simple, childlike imagery and fonts to appeal to fans of both rap and indie music. The poster depicts Rich Chigga holding a single balloon in colorful, saturated surroundings, signaling an upbeat, fun time. It lists tour locations and provides a link to buy tickets, aiming to inform fans about the tour in a style unique from typical rap posters that flaunt wealth and popularity.
Statement of intent
The document discusses plans for a magazine called "Royalty Rap" focused on positive news and achievements in the hip hop genre. The target audience is those aged 18-25 from black and other ethnic groups with an interest in hip hop music, particularly those from middle-class and working-class backgrounds. The magazine will cost £1.99 and feature exclusive interviews, a "legendary section" honoring influential past artists, and awards for the best of the current year in hip hop. Cover design plans include a gritty masthead font, limited colors, aligned cover lines, and images of rappers reflecting hip hop fashion and lifestyle.
Q2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary products
The document analyzes the effectiveness of combining a rap artist's music video, digipak, and website.
The music video uses black and white to depict past events and color to depict the present. The digipak and website feature the artist's reflective style through plain fonts and serious photos. London landmarks represent the artist's roots while atypical elements subvert rap conventions.
Consistency across the ancillary texts and music video effectively portray the artist's inner conflict between fame and authenticity through recurring themes like buildings and mise-en-scene. Minor changes could further explore the artist's urban background.
My Magazine Evaluation
The document discusses how the author's media product, a magazine called "So HOOD", uses and develops conventions of real music magazines to attract its target audience. Some conventions it uses include a central image to portray genre through emotion and setting, bottom strips to highlight stories, cover lines to entice readers, and a masthead and barcode for authenticity. The contents and double page article challenge conventions by featuring a female subject, challenging stereotypes of masculine genres like grime and hip-hop. The target audience is identified as males and females ages 15+ based on a survey about interest in such magazines. The magazine aims to attract its audience through images and language reflecting the genres' conventions of portraying street culture through darkness and terminology
Preperation for main task
The document discusses organizing locations, props, and costumes for a photo shoot for a magazine focused on urban/edgy music. Two locations were chosen: a white brick wall to portray an urban feel, and the backyard to provide childhood contrast. Props included a leopard print coat, hooped earrings, and head phones to portray money, power, and the music industry. Makeup was done excessively with feathered eyelashes and enlarged eyebrows to look abstract and exaggerated. The masthead for the magazine "Urbanised" was chosen as a bold red font to match the cover photo and portray an edgy feel. Multiple photos were taken and analyzed to select the best shots for portraying the magazine.
Harpendia
This document is a magazine called Harpendia from Summer 2009. It features articles on various topics happening in Harpenden such as fashion, cars, wine, travel, art, the environment, picnics, healthy eating, and therapy. The main focus of the magazine is on the thriving fashion business in Harpenden, with several exclusive fashion articles covering different aspects of the industry. There are also articles on a photo shoot with actress Uma Thurman for Harper's Bazaar, a new designer clothing store for men called Purple, and the talents of pattern cutter Maureen Yvonne who translates designer concepts into finished garments.
Contact sheet
Rose Goddard planned to feature her model from the music magazine cover on the double page spread. However, she decided to use different models to make it more conventional. She chose an image of a woman in a fur coat making eye contact with the lens for the double page spread. This image highlights her sex appeal which is suitable for the RnB and hip hop genre. She also chose an image of a male model in an urban setting for the contents page to represent both male and female readers of the magazine.
Location Research
The document evaluates three potential locations for a photo shoot for a hip hop magazine: 1) A skate park which could provide graffiti-covered walls relevant to the genre but may be busy. It links to an existing magazine focused on UK hip hop culture. 2) A tunnel with urban vibes allowing for creative shots but no electricity. It links somewhat to a photo in another magazine. 3) A car park where an actor would stand out against the background due to natural lighting, though lighting could be an issue.

His equipment list includes a camera, tripod, laptop, lighting, and memory card. His crew consists of two models, Shanayah and Krystal, himself as photographer and organizer, and others to assist. Shanayah will be the main cover artist and appear on all pages due to her representation of natural R&B beauty. Krystal will also appear on the contents page to showcase their music career partnership
Statement of intent
The document discusses plans for a magazine called "Royalty Rap". It will focus on positive news and exclusives about rap artists, as well as appreciating the history of hip hop. The target audience is young black adults interested in hip hop. The cover will feature two images - a main image of a confident rapper in hip hop-style clothing, and a secondary image showing hip hop props like DJ equipment or a microphone. The masthead font and limited color scheme aim to represent the gritty roots of hip hop in a positive way.
Formal proposal

- The target audience is identified as white British and Afro-Caribbean males and females aged 16-20 who listen to grime and urban music.
- Initial cover ideas include prominently displaying the "Gnarly" masthead at the top with a normal magazine layout but a more detailed contents page including a "Must Haves" fashion article for females.

The introductory scene establishes a peaceful ocean shot to introduce the artist and song, relating to the R&B/Hip-Hop style through connotations of travel and wealth. Subsequent scenes continue portraying wealth and exotic travel through shots of a sports car driving through a tunnel and views of cities from above. Later scenes cut between aerial city shots and ones in a graffiti-covered tunnel, where the black artist dons a gold mask to portray elements of both street culture and wealth typically seen in these genres.

Behind the scenes set, make-up and props
The making of the wall setting for the film was a time-consuming process, so the creator enlisted help with charcoal drawings to speed up the process and add more creative ideas. Pictures associated with death were found online and stuck onto a blanket, which was then nailed to the wall to avoid damaging the wallpaper. Some pictures were left uncovering to show the process was unfinished, and props like tea lights and a vodka bottle were placed on tables to add to the unsettling atmosphere. The makeup was also carefully designed to portray the characters' states of mind, using powder, fake blood, and charcoal to make them appear pale, drained, and tired.
Genre conventions planning task 2
Through research, the author has decided to create a thriller film trailer. Key conventions that will be included are: mystery created through non-diegetic sound and a voiceover; a house setting; and dark, dim lighting. Roland Barthes' hermeneutic code will be used to leave the audience with questions. Flashbacks and a narrator will provide background information while maintaining mystery. Binary oppositions between a spirit and innocent family will incorporate the ideas of theorist Claude Lévi-Strauss. While following genre conventions, the trailer will also challenge expectations through a focus on dramatic sounds and music over dialogue.
Analyse 6 film posters task 7
The poster focuses on the four main characters from previous "Ice Age" films. It uses a simple blue and white color scheme and large font to prominently display the film title. Minor details like the subtitle "Continental Drift" being placed vertically help distinguish this film without drawing too much attention away from the characters, which are central to engaging young viewers. Overall, the poster prioritizes recognizable characters from the franchise over intricate details, aiming to attract fans through familiarity and simplicity.
Film trailers task 1
The document discusses several key elements that film trailers typically include to advertise and promote films. Trailers usually reveal the basic storyline to entice audiences while maintaining an element of mystery. They introduce main characters, directors, and popular actors/celebrities to draw audiences. Trailers also aim to persuade audiences through techniques like appropriate music, shots, reviews, star ratings, and revealing the release date at the end. The overall purpose is to encourage people to watch the film while only revealing a taste of what to expect.
College mag contents analysis
This document summarizes a college magazine layout. It notes that the simple color scheme and layout make the magazine easy to follow. Only including three images leaves plenty of room for content information. The images above the writing are intended to draw attention to main articles, while the rest of the layout is plain without unnecessary embellishment. The layout is very simple, with main content on the left and regular sections on the right, separated by graphics to avoid crowding. The light blue background provides a soft, friendly appearance.

The making of my contents page
The document describes the process of designing a contents page for a magazine. It discusses testing different layouts, fonts, images and design elements to attract readers and promote specific articles and competitions. These include adding the magazine's initials in the corner, a competition to incentivize purchases, descriptive article titles, images of featured artists, and continuity with previous issues. The goal was to create an engaging contents page that effectively showcased content and encouraged readers to explore the full magazine.
Questionnaire analysis
Through analyzing survey responses, the author found that choosing a musical artist that appeals to most readers will be difficult. Respondents consistently said that the magazine's color scheme should feature black, blue, and red. Readers primarily want interviews and information about their favorite celebrities. Nearly 90% use YouTube as their main music source, informing the author that the magazine needs an online presence. While chatty language was preferred by 55%, it should only be used sparingly. The majority want a front cover with lots of content information rather than simplicity. Long articles and interviews were the most off-putting elements. This feedback will help guide the magazine's creation and content.
Focus group 2
The magazine will focus on hip hop and R&B music, blending the two genres, as feedback showed many artists cross over between them. It will be called "The Beat" as a shorter name was preferred. The front cover will feature a single artist to avoid clutter. The main article will be an interview to maintain reader interest. The color scheme will be black, white, and dark blue to have an "urban" look. The cost will be £3.20 as £3 was deemed too low but it needs to be competitively priced.
The process of making my double page spread
The document describes the iterative process of designing a magazine page layout. The designer made several changes to images, fonts, placement of graphic elements and text to improve the overall professional feel and balance of the page. Key changes included switching the central image, adjusting the header style and text, adding promotional elements like a contest, and simplifying the layout by removing some graphic features. The designer experimented with different fonts and color schemes before deciding on a final design with a white, black and red theme.
The process of making my front cover
The document describes the process of designing a magazine front cover. It discusses choosing a black background and adding the masthead text first to set the theme. Key features like a yellow star and slogan were added to attract attention. Boxes were included as placeholders until photos were chosen. Based on feedback, elements like the star, slogan placement, and pull quote were modified. The font colors, barcode, website, and plus sign were also incorporated to make the cover look more professional and realistic.

Masthead summary
Through analyzing feedback on various masthead options, the author chose the font Urban Jungle for their magazine masthead. Urban Jungle was described as representing the R&B genre well with its urban and studio-like feel. It stood out the most to feedback providers as bold and individual. While another option was also bold, it was suggested changing its color, and a third option was seen as too basic and not eye-catching enough. The author believes Urban Jungle is the most suitable choice as it captures the R&B/Hip Hop genre feel for the prominent magazine masthead.

Location recess
- 1. With my magazine’s genrebeing R&B/Hip Hop, I thought it was importantto show both the glamorous side, with success stories, and also a more realistic side. Stereotypically, with the majority ofpeople from this genre coming from an ‘urban’ background, which is associatedwith the streets and crime, etc, I wanted to includea very simple location. And with a lot ofyoung peopletoday having nothing to do, and spending a lot oftheir time doing nothing in parks, I thought I would include one in my magazine. I did this by incorporation it with a story about an up and coming rapper,with it being a stereotypical start for them to be one ofthe youth who do hang around on the streets a lot doing nothing. I plan to use this location as I want to really enforce the urban feel that these two genres represent. I plan on waiting until it gets dark, so that it would capturethe night sky behindthe model, and give it a natural setting. This location will hopefully help portray the magazineas being very in touch with its audience by not continuously having expensive looking photoshoot style shots.
- 2. I chose this location, due to the expensivebrand ofcars we automatically associate with wealth. With my model pretending to be a rapper, I wanted him to portray the stereotypical arrogantand flashy attitude they have. I will photoshop the background so that the actual location if obvious and it does genuinely look as if it is the models car. This location shows the moreglamorous,successful side ofthe genre. And by also showing this, it presents the magazine as moreprofessional, and high market.
