Contents pages typically include a feature list and large central image. Double page spreads usually have a large central image on one page and bodies of text in various sizes on the facing page. The research aims to help the author identify strengths in professional magazine layouts to apply to their own work.
Presentation1.pptx
The document summarizes the analysis of magazine covers and contents pages from Glamour and Rolling Stone magazines. Key points include:
- Magazine covers feature large mastheads, celebrity images to grab attention, limited use of fonts, and plain backgrounds to focus on text and images.
- Contents pages split content into "features" and "regulars" sections, leading with features to excite readers. Images accompany text to make content look interesting.
- Layouts aim to attract readers' attention with prominent images and limit distractions from excessive text or fonts that take away from the focal points.
Unit 30- LO2
Thank you for sharing the draft interview. A few suggestions:
- Add follow up questions to get more details on the artist's responses. For example, after they mention making fans happy, you could ask what their favorite fan interaction was.
- Vary the question types, such as asking about their creative process, influences, dreams for the future, etc. This makes the interview more interesting.
- Consider including a brief bio at the start to introduce the artist to readers who may not know them.
- Proofread for typos.
- Format the questions differently than answers, like making questions bold or a larger font size, to make it easy for readers to follow.
- Include an attention-
Q1
This document discusses the conventions used in magazine design, including the masthead, date line, features, cover line, and cover image on the magazine cover. It also discusses conventions for the contents page, such as layout, images, color scheme, and sublines. Finally, it discusses conventions for magazine articles, such as using a house style, double page spreads, images, and text grabs. The document examines how these magazine design conventions are used, developed, or challenged in the creation of a magazine.
Exam q 1
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. It analyzes the front cover, contents page, and double page spread and how they employ or subvert typical magazine conventions. Some conventions used include mastheads, page numbers, cover lines, images, and columns for layout. Some conventions challenged include no header, unique house style colors, one large image instead of multiple, and advertising an album. Real magazines that informed the design, both in following and challenging conventions, include Clash, Mojo, NME, and Billboard.
Media Evaluation Q1
This document compares the conventions used in the student's media product, a magazine, to real-world magazine conventions. It finds that the student's magazine conforms to many standard conventions like using large titles, quotes, images, and page numbers. However, it also challenges some conventions through the use of black and white images and unique layouts. Sample pages from an actual magazine are presented side-by-side with the student's pages to highlight both the similarities and differences in their approaches.
My preliminary task research evidense
This document summarizes Daniel Williams' preliminary research task on learning various editing skills using computer programs. It discusses his learning of photo editing techniques like changing colors and overlapping images. It also discusses learning word editing skills like changing font sizes and colors. Daniel found these skills helpful for his coursework by allowing him to style his work. The document evaluates magazine covers and contents pages to learn effective design techniques to apply to his own school magazine.
Q1
The document discusses how a media product magazine cover uses and follows the conventions of real media magazines. It includes elements such as a masthead with a unique large font, a full-page artist image, largest artist name as the main cover line with a description, multiple smaller cover lines promoting other articles, a small barcode with price/date/issue, a positioning statement, and different fonts to distinguish important elements. The layout and inclusion of these standard codes and conventions means the magazine cover closely resembles real media products without challenging conventions.
My music based magazine evaluation
The document summarizes a presentation analyzing the front cover, contents page, and double-page spread created for a music magazine. It discusses design elements and conventions used on each page. Key points include using bright colors to make the front cover stand out, including social media links and a lower panel on the front cover and contents page for organization, and placing the title and artist name prominently on the double-page spread to draw attention. Conventions from rap magazines were considered while also adding original and challenging elements.
Evaluation question 1
This document summarizes how the student's media product follows conventions of real music magazines while also challenging some conventions. The front cover follows conventions like the masthead at the top and cover lines on the side. The contents page keeps a similar structure to examples but adds some of the student's own style. The double page spread challenges conventions by including more information and images than typical while still highlighting the main artist.

Research in to digipaks and posters
Band's digipaks and posters are usually strongly linked, often using the exact same or very similar photos. The document provides examples of Muse, Green Day, and Royal Blood using this approach. Specifically, Muse and Green Day used the exact same image for their digipak and poster, while Royal Blood featured similar but not exact images. The document suggests bands do this so their audience can easily recognize the band from the visuals.
Research in to similiar artists
The researchers analyzed videos by the band Royal Blood to get ideas for their own video based on Royal Blood's song "Little Monster". They found Royal Blood's videos commonly had narrative stories, either with the band performing or just a narrative on its own. One video called "Figure it Out" caught their eye, using red and blue filters to portray a woman's changing demeanor. Another video for "Ten Tonne Skeleton" featured both a narrative of a woman running from something unknown and dynamic performance shots of the band outside to match the fast-paced music.
Further research in to digipaks
Further research was conducted into Digipaks, cardboard multi-panel CD packages. Some common conventions were observed, such as large bold titles on the front cover and pictures of the band or singer. Digipaks try to promote the band's image and style, portraying bands like Green Day as young and rebellious or Arctic Monkeys as older and willing to take risks. Barcodes, URLs, and record label information are typically included on the back. Bands like Muse, Royal Blood, and Green Day were researched as they have styles similar to the video being made.
Research in to digipaks and posters
The document discusses research into how bands link their digipaks and posters through similar or identical images. It provides examples of Muse, Green Day, and Royal Blood using the exact same picture for both the digipak and poster, or in Royal Blood's case, very similar images. The use of matching or comparable visuals allows audiences to easily recognize the band from either the digipak or poster.
Our target audience
Our target audience for the video is 16-27 year olds, with a focus on males aged 16-19. This audience can relate to the characters in the video and will be interested in the rock band featured. The video aims to show this audience that anyone can achieve their dreams, even in difficult situations, and to discourage drug and alcohol use. Our ideal audience member is described as Ryan, a 19 year old male from London who enjoys indie/rock music, action movies, and finding new music bands on the internet.
Lists
The document lists the band members, main character, drug dealers, and props needed for a school project. It includes the names, occupations, clothing, and equipment for 3 band members playing guitar, bass guitar, and drums. It also provides the same details for the main character Charlie Salter and 2 drug dealers. Props listed are a bag of flour to represent drugs, a microphone, microphone stand, guitar case, paper contract, 2 amplifiers, extension leads, and a tripod. Required technology includes a smartphone, DSLR camera, computer, and memory stick.
Location scouting
The document discusses location scouting for a video project. It lists requirements for the setting including that the village must look run down and rural, be in a suburban area, and contain a busy road and run down park nearby. Several potential locations are considered and Bishop Sutton is selected as it meets all the criteria. The document also discusses finding a location at a school for the performance section, needing a dark room with lighting and sound control. The drama rooms are selected as they have sufficient space and lighting options to fit the needs.
Script for little monster video
The film script tells the story of a boy from a poor rural family who dreams of being in a band. In the beginning, shots establish that he lives in a run-down old house. He leaves home carrying his guitar. Scenes then cut between the boy alone in the city and a band rehearsing without a singer. The boy gets depressed and meets some drug dealers who beat and rob him when he can't pay. In pain, the boy finds his guitar in a bin and starts busking to earn money. His talent is noticed and he is offered a music contract, allowing him to join the band and achieve his dream.
Representations of people in our video
The document discusses representations of characters in a music video. It summarizes that the band is portrayed as sophisticated and classy by having them wear suits to contrast with the main character. The main character is represented as living a rebellious lifestyle involving drugs that negatively impacts his life, but he persists in pursuing his dreams. The drug dealers are portrayed as dangerous through similar dark, hooded clothing to emphasize the perilous situation the main character is in.
Evaluation question

Construction, Research, Planning and Evaluation
The document summarizes the construction, research, planning, and evaluation of a music video project. It describes using multiple cameras and editing software like Premier Pro to film performance and narrative sections. Research involved learning about the music industry and conventions of genres like rock. Planning included determining the target audience through surveys, creating equipment and clothing lists, and selecting filming locations. The evaluation notes some shots that could be refilmed for better lighting, story flow, or syncing of playing with the song.
Shooting schedule for the video
The shooting schedule for the video 'Little Monster' includes filming the opening narrative section on February 8th at Charlie's house, the performance section on February 20th at the Drama studio, and most of the narrative section from March 1st to 6th at Bishop Sutton, with any re-filming also taking place there on March 6th and potential re-filming of performance shots on March 8th back at the Drama studio.
Researching digipaks
This document discusses design elements and conventions that the author likes in digipak CD packaging. The author prefers designs that use artistic covers with bold colors or images to attract attention. They also value song lists on the back cover and interesting masthead designs so people can identify the band and remember song titles. As examples, the author analyzes two digipaks they like - one with a bright orange cover contrasting the black interior, and another with a dramatic eye image spanning two panels and a simple star on the plain front cover.
Music magazine research
The document discusses research into music magazine covers. It notes that many rock magazine covers have a clustered look with many pictures and bold graphics. However, the cover of Clash magazine stands out with a single large central image and a bold title across the top, without a cluttered design. This makes the Clash cover look slick and professional compared to others. Additionally, the main image does not directly address the reader like most magazine covers. The document concludes by stating the intention to use some of Clash magazine's cover design techniques.

How Do I Plan a Kilimanjaro Climb? 7 Essential Tips Revealed.pdf
Planning and research
- 1. These are examples of Magazines and their covers. The conventions from what I see include that the contents is not always the first page in. Often there is advertising pages before the contents. On the cover there is often a big picture which may even obstruct the title of the magazine. I may use this in my magazine to show what that issue will be about. It also is the background for the whole cover. The cover also has a colourful background with the main picture right in the middle of the shot to catch a potential reader’s attention which is what my magazine will need to do. Also the title is shown in a bigger font then the other writing on the magazine as that is the title of the magazine I will use this to make it clear what the magazine is about. The extra writing on the cover of the magazine are features to come in the magazines (see empire front cover). The contents of the magazine then covers the features of the magazine in a bit more detail and included are the page numbers for these features I hope to replicate this when I do my magazine.
