My media product is a magazine about rock music aimed at an audience of 16-25 year olds. It uses some common magazine conventions like the title placement but also challenges conventions by using only black and white imagery. The magazine represents its target audience of rock music fans in that age group. It could potentially be distributed in music shops, supermarkets, or online on music festival or band websites to reach its audience. Through creating the magazine, I learned new skills in Photoshop and about designing magazines for the digital age.

Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. It uses page numbers for navigation, edits the main image over the masthead on the cover as most magazines do. However, it challenges the convention of using primary colors by using purple, black, grey and white instead. The writing style is informal to suit the target audience. Consistent fonts are used but some are changed for emphasis. Pull quotes, cover lines, barcodes, and direct address photography are used, but one photo challenges the convention of direct address. The product represents females in its color scheme and layout but features an equal number of males and females. It mostly represents white people due to the featured bands and models all being white and the alternative

Questionnaire

The respondent is asked to select their gender and preferred genre from a list and to write in their age and opinion on music videos.
Equipment that i will need
I will need a mobile phone to film the music video since it has a camera sufficient for my needs and enough storage. I will also use editing software on the classroom computers to edit the video. The mobile phone and classroom computer software are the key equipment needed to film and edit the music video.
Crew list
The crew list for a music video will involve only a few actors as the director feels the type of video being produced doesn't require a large number of cast and crew. Additionally, the director has decided not to show the faces of any actors in the video to add an effect and negate the need to identify the actors.
Planning for the double page spread
This document outlines a plan for a double page spread in a music magazine. It details that the main image and text boxes on the right side are already chosen. It will follow the original color scheme of the magazine to maintain consistency and house style.
Planning of my music video fin
The document discusses plans for a music video for the song "Everyday is Exactly the Same" by Nine Inch Nails. The genre is alternative and the video will include repetition to match the repetitive lyrics of the song's chorus. One scene will show a car driving down a country road for 2 minutes from the same angle, to be cut up and used repeatedly. Locations in Biddulph Moor and Mow cop that provide the right reflective scenery are being considered for this repetitive scene. The video will also tell a narrative story about an individual stuck in a mundane routine that changes after a realization.
Music video director
David Fincher is an American film and music video director known for his big budget, high production quality works. He has directed music videos for major artists across different genres like The Rolling Stones and Justin Timberlake spanning from 1994 to 2013. His video for Don Henley's "The End of the Innocence" won several awards including Best Male Video from MTV in 1990.
Examples of music video genres
Three common music video genres are discussed: pop, alternative, and metal. Pop videos aim to be lighthearted and boost positive feelings, while metal videos often have a darker tone showing negative events. Alternative videos are less defined but aim to be unconventional. Examples are given of each genre, showing their different conventions around lighting, attire, and tone. Pop features upbeat scenes in daylight, modern fashion, and feel-good themes. Alternative can be mysterious and unpredictable. Metal features the band in black attire with aggressive expressions playing heavy instruments in a tall, imposing shot over the audience.
Examples of music video genres
Three common music video genres are discussed: pop, metal, and alternative. Pop videos aim to uplift viewers with a positive, lighthearted feel using daytime lighting and fashionable attire. Metal sometimes aims to depict negative real-life events with a darker tone. Alternative, the genre being explored for a new video, is unconventional and mysterious, not following expectations to create an unpredictable impression.
Music posters
This document discusses music posters and their purpose. Music posters are mass produced to promote bands by displaying them in high foot traffic areas to notify the public. Posters also showcase a band's unique style and music genre through images and color schemes. For example, the alternative genre poster shown has a dark, mysterious image and style that stands out from standard designs. Posters can also advertise concerts, helping both the band and venue by increasing recognition and attendance, such as one poster using a dark-colored, unique style presented in an old-fashioned, formal manner.
Mulvey’s theory on the male gaze
Mulvey's theory of the male gaze suggests that in film and media, the camera perspective is typically male and portrays women in limited ways as either virginal or sexual objects. This objectifies women and does not allow for a variety of female representations. Music videos often exemplify the male gaze through shots that focus solely on revealingly dressed women without men present, drawing the viewer's attention to their sexuality. Ratios of women to men can also reflect the heterosexual perspective of women existing for male attention and pleasure.
Target audience
The target audience for an alternative music genre video would be teenagers and young adults aged 15-24. As an alternative genre focuses on more mature topics, it would not appeal to younger viewers. The target demographic would likely be social classes C1, C2, and D. Fans of alternative music may follow trends of alternative bands in both dress and music discovery. They also likely consume media across varied channels as alternative music does not follow conventional paths. The style of alternative music can explore dark and realistic issues that older viewers may relate to from their own experiences.
Genre conventions
This document discusses genre conventions in music. It notes that rock music uses dark, aggressive styles to discuss real-life struggles, while R&B has a strong beat throughout and is popular on music charts. Electro also has an energetic, fast-paced beat throughout songs. Alternative rock features unconventional videos and sounds. The author's chosen genre is alternative rock because it is less common than genres like pop or rap, does not follow set patterns, and features unconventional styles not known as widely as other popular genres.

Media studies evaluation
- 1. Media studies Evaluation Tom McCrae
- 2. Introduction • This is going to be an evaluation on the components of a music magazine that I created they are the front cover, contents page and a double page spread my chosen genre for this magazine is the rock genre, I researched the other magazines that are currently in production as I knew that this is a genre that will have some tough competition so I looked at the other magazines and used their colour schemes that were similar to each other anyway and I created one myself based on the other ones. I also made notes on how the layout was used on them.
- 3. Techniques • There is multiple ways in which the music magazine I created uses the current techniques that other magazines use in the same genre as mine (rock) these are the colour schemes of the rock magazines that I analysed were very similar and I also used a colour scheme that was in line with those other magazines. So the audience will recognise the genre and if they read that type of magazine then they will purchase the magazine. These are two examples of rock/ metal magazines and I have included their colour schemes they are very similar in colour.
- 4. My colour scheme in my front cover • This is my colour scheme for my music magazine project I used these colours because I think that they are similar to the other music magazines and the magazine’s target audience would recognise the type of magazine that it is and be curious to pick it up and buy the product. The colours themselves are used because I feel that the magazine needs to have some contrasting colours in it for example the black and white would be good to use for the background and the background of the textboxes. This is my front cover that I created for my chosen genre I have taken into account the other magazines that I reviewed in my colour scheme for example the colour scheme has contrasting colours ( the black and white).
- 5. Representing the target audience • My magazine I think effectively represents the type of people that read the magazine because the majority are fans of the metal themed music that the magazine offers to its viewers. Also the colour scheme is in theme with the genre as it has a lot of dark colours. For example the black background and the red border around the double page. I think that most of the readers will wear a similar style of clothing to their favourite bands/ singers and with this magazine being in the rock and metal genre the clothes will be dark colours which will be in theme with the magazine.
- 6. Attracting the target audience • The techniques that I used to attract and entice the target audience were the familiar colour scheme that followed a pattern of other music magazines of the same genre. The layout of the main image is also similar to others but with a twist. It has a feature that will make the audience intrigued to see what it is all about this is a feature that I have not seen on any other rock/metal music magazine.
- 7. Premises that might sell my magazine • The kind of media institution that might distribute the music magazine that I created would be the newsagents in and around the UK because they mainly sell newspapers and magazines with other goods. Also in the modern age the normal shops and supermarkets will sell these kinds of magazines to the general population. So the magazine will have lots of different places to be purchased in by the target audience. This will be a mass marketed product. That will be sold to companies that would like to buy it this could be record shops or bookshops for example because most book shops also sell magazines or other reading material.
- 8. Audience • The audience for my magazine would be the type of people who are interested in rock music and the magazines that it offers, they could be of both genders and the age would be late teens (16+) however most people over this age could read the music magazine that I have created . For example the magazine will be presented in a way that is suitable for the target age and they will be able to understand the language that it will use in its information.
- 9. Advertising methods • The methods that I will use to advertise my magazine and promote it will be the in newsagents in the shop windows and the posters that are in bus stops these forms of promotion are cheap and effective and I think that the target audience of the magazine will see this because the target audience uses these premises where the magazine will be sold in.
- 10. Techniques that I have learnt • I have learnt some techniques in designing the magazine they are mainly adopting and maintaining a colour scheme that was similar to other music magazines in the same genre as mine. This is because the target audience would recognise my design of a music magazine and might be tempted to pick it up and read it. • Also the positioning of the main image on the front cover was an important technique that I learnt as well because it was a portrait front cover then the image had to be adjusted this was achieved by making the image compact and covering on a person in the image up in white with a question mark and creating a story behind it. This made the image narrower and better suited to the portrait set up.
- 11. The technology that I have learnt about during this project • During this media studies project I have used many different software programmes and internet webpages to create and research my music magazine for example the whole project is displayed on a blog programme called blogger this allowed the pages of information to be displayed to people who also have blogger this programmes also allows the users to comment on other peoples work suggesting improvements or giving praise to them. Also the main programme that I used to create the music magazine project was called fireworks mx 2004 edition. This allowed me to import images and lots of other programmes. Also I used Microsoft power point 2010 edition.

- 14. Double page spread Coursework only
