The Vibe magazine targets a young, urban demographic that follows hip-hop and R&B culture. It features music artists, actors, and entertainers in those genres. The magazine aims to reach this audience through various advertisements from brands, as well as stories about popular artists. It also promotes new album releases, concerts, and other entertainment events to keep readers informed.
Evaluation 2
The document analyzes how a media product represents and challenges conventions of the indie music genre. It notes that the front cover features a female artist, challenging the genre's stereotype as male-dominated. Throughout the magazine, more female than male artists are featured. However, only white British ethnicities are included, representing the genre's white dominance. Images portray artists as moody through facial expressions and muted colors, aligning with stereotypes of the indie genre being moody and casual. Youth are prominently featured, signifying their importance in indie music.
Evaluation (question 2)
My media product represents the social group of indie and alternative music fans aged 15-25. On the cover, I included images of a young musician to relate to their age group. The articles and stories also represent their interests in edgy music genres. The urban setting and retro style of the cover images appeal to this audience. Rather than portray stereotypical images of rebellion, my magazine represents them in a positive light through unique visual styles without negative portrayals.
Evaluation question 2
One way the media product represents social groups is through the images used. Photographs on the cover, contents page, and double page spreads feature typical indie styles, clothing, and festivals that the target audience can relate to. Models are shown holding a guitar or wearing indie fashion to attract readers interested in indie music. Captions also reference indie stars and their style to engage the target audience. The language is informal and lists indie bands and concerts to appeal to big indie fans.
Question 5
The document discusses how the artist addressed their audience in their Classical Music Magazine through direct eye contact with the camera, stereotypical depictions of classical musicians in clothing and with instruments, and formal yet simple language. Superlatives and promises of free music were used to attract readers. The masthead and covers were kept simple to stand out while still appealing to classical music lovers.
Question 2
The document discusses research done for a music magazine photoshoot. It summarizes:
- Costumes were chosen that were fashionable, trendy styles also found in high-street stores at affordable prices for the target audience.
- Photography angles and poses were inspired by existing pop music magazines, including medium close-ups and long shots.
- Locations featured plain, neutral backgrounds like the pink backdrop used.
- Hair and makeup was inspired by Dua Lipa's natural yet glamorous look, which would be achievable and affordable for the target audience.

The main artist featured in the magazine, a 17-year-old solo artist, was designed to appeal to these groups by being young and fitting the "Creatives" genre so readers can relate to them.
New evaluation blogger
My magazine aims to represent youth culture and various music genres like hip hop, R&B, and grime. I have tried to conform to typical magazine conventions while also adding some unique elements. The central image on the cover is meant to attract readers by featuring an up-and-coming artist. I have included various fonts and a brick wall background on the contents page to give the magazine a funky, urban feel while still providing the information readers expect to find. My goal is to appeal to aspirers and creators in particular by covering new artists and events and including an online component for viral sharing.
Question 1
The document discusses the design choices for a music magazine cover and content to appeal to a target teenage and young adult audience. The magazine cover features a natural scene in appealing colors like red, green and yellow to represent youth. The content pages focus on music-related stories, images, and advertisements that would interest teenagers, such as fashion trends and free music CD offers. Throughout the magazine, the colors, stories, and visuals are tailored to attract and engage the target teenage demographic.
How did you attract/address your audience?
The document discusses how the author attracted and addressed their target audience for their music magazine ND. They aimed the magazine at 15-30 year olds interested in indie music. On social media, they promoted indie bands and singers to gain interest. The magazine included conventions like interviews to connect readers to artists. They featured up-and-coming singer Theo Lexis with photos taken in Camden, a popular indie location. Design elements like a large colorful logo and cover photo of singer Sophie were used to attract readers based on conventions of other music magazines.
Who would be the audience for your media?
My target audience for the indie music magazine would be teenagers and young adults of both genders who enjoy indie music like Lana Del Rey, Jake Bugg, and Arctic Monkeys. I created a mood board to represent this target audience showing black and white colors and unisex styles inspired by how indie music fans dress like their celebrity role models. The mood board and characters from the TV show "My Mad Fat Diary" exemplify the wide variety in my target audience that is united through their shared interest in indie music.

Evaluation question 1
This document discusses the conventions of documentary films and how the student's media product adheres to or challenges these conventions. It describes conventions seen in real documentaries like appropriate mise-en-scene for interviews, camerawork using mid-shots and the rule of thirds, smooth editing, inclusion of a narrator, use of archive footage and music, and placement of cutaways. It then explains how the student's documentary follows these conventions to appear authentic and help viewers engage with the content.
Contents page production with screengrabs
The document describes the process taken to design the contents page for an indie music magazine. Key steps included:
1. Keeping the background black to provide depth between the cover and interior pages.
2. Adding the title "Contents" using the same font and color scheme to maintain branding consistency.
3. Inserting relevant images to represent the articles and genre, arranging them neatly.
4. Adding the feature and regular article listings with consistent formatting and colors matching the rest of the magazine.
Double page spread production
The document summarizes the steps taken to design a double-page magazine spread. First, a black box was drawn as the background for one page. An image was placed over the entire other page. A title was added using blue text to match the image and establish a consistent color scheme. Additional grey text was layered behind the blue title to add depth. Then, a three-column article was inserted from a word document, including a drop capital and quote. Finally, white text was added in the corner to credit the author of the text and images.
Q7
The document discusses the learning and improvements from the author's preliminary photography task to their final product. They learned: improved photography skills through more ambitious pictures; greater camera knowledge around ISO and shutter speed; comfort with Photoshop and venturing into more complex software like InDesign; and planning skills through longer pre-production improving the final outcome. The author also learned about their target audience and meeting customer demands. They learned how to arrange a magazine to better imitate professionals through codes and conventions analysis.
EDITING MY PRINT ADVERT
The document describes the steps taken to edit a print advertisement for a documentary. First, the photographer graded the original photo in Lightroom to make it appear darker and more supernatural. Scratches and embers textures were then overlaid in Photoshop to warp and add glowing effects to the distorted image. When all three layers were merged, the finished product was deemed effectively unsettling for promoting the supernatural documentary. Text and the channel 4 logo were added last to identify the piece within branding conventions.
Question 4
The document discusses the target audience for a proposed indie music magazine. The target audience is youth aged 13-25, as this group most heavily consumes indie music. Images and articles throughout the magazine, such as on the front cover, contents page, and double page spread, are meant to appeal to this target indie audience. Popular indie artists and photos from indie concerts are featured to reinforce that the magazine is aimed at indie music fans, especially younger audiences.
Questionnaire analysis
This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about a documentary and the different promotional materials created for it. The questionnaire responses showed that the interviews, archive footage, and cutaways in the documentary were well received, while the voiceover had some issues. Feedback indicated that the radio trailer was effective at engaging listeners, though it may have felt rushed, and the print advert successfully replicated industry conventions. Overall, the analysis found that the products cohered around their focus on the supernatural theme.
Evaluation question 1 print advert
The document discusses how a media product followed the forms and conventions of real Channel 4 print advertisements. It describes researching real Channel 4 ads to understand the codes and conventions, such as placing the Channel 4 logo in the top right corner without obstructing the main image. An example image was found online to represent the documentary's content, and the created ad placed basic text at the bottom left and the logo in the standard position, matching the style of real Channel 4 print ads.
Evaluation question 1
The document analyzes the conventions used in typical documentary films and how they were applied to the student's own documentary "The Other Side". It discusses how mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, sound, archive footage, cutaways, text, and graphics were used in real documentaries and then how the student incorporated these same conventions into their own documentary. The purpose was to make the student's documentary appear authentic and adhere to the established codes and conventions of the documentary genre.
Front cover production
The document summarizes the steps taken to design the front cover of a magazine. The designer added a cropped photo as the background to feature the model's face and cultivate a star image. Text was then added using various tools, including the title partially obscured by the image for brand recognition. Additional text elements like bylines and coverlines were positioned following industry conventions to highlight bands and grab readers' attention. The final design emphasized certain elements through effects and placement to promote sales.
Formal proposal
This formal proposal outlines a documentary about the supernatural topic. The documentary will have a mixed format of interviews, narration, and observations. It will target audiences aged 16 and over on Channel 4 between 9-10pm, as it may contain frightening footage. Primary research was conducted through questionnaires to help identify interview subjects like mediums, historians, and ghost tour guides. Secondary research will include online videos and articles about the supernatural. The documentary will have a linear narrative structure beginning with a historian's historical context of the supernatural and evolving traditions like Halloween. It will cover interviews, personal experiences, and depictions of the supernatural in popular culture. Required resources include a voice recorder, video camera, tripod, and interview subjects.
Formal proposal
The group has chosen to create a documentary on the supernatural topic. The documentary will use a mixed style of interviews, narration, and observations. It will air on Channel 4 at 9pm between popular shows to reach its target 16+ audience. Primary research was conducted through questionnaires to help guide interviews and footage selection. Resources needed to create the documentary include a voice recorder, video camera, tripod, and interviewees.
Evaluation of documentary
The document discusses an evaluation of a documentary, asking questions about various technical elements like the mise-en-scene, choice of music, editing, use of archive footage, handheld camerawork, title, lighting, dialogue and areas for potential improvement. Respondents answered yes or no questions and provided short comments on elements like the suitability of the setting, how the mise-en-scene could have been more suitable, and suggestions for improved camera angles, more interviews and clearer sound.
Codes and conventions of interviews
The document provides guidelines for filming interviews, recommending using medium shots and close ups to represent professions and facial expressions. It suggests beginning interviews on the left side of the frame and moving to the right, following the rule of thirds and keeping the eyeline one third down. The interviewee should look at the interviewer, not the camera, and props and backgrounds should reinforce the content.
The codes and conventions of documentaries
The document introduces the typical structure of documentaries, which includes an introduction that sets up the topic in the start, a middle section that elaborates on the points, and an end that summarizes the arguments. It also discusses the purposes of documentaries, such as to entertain, inform, educate, or shock audiences. Documentaries typically focus on a single topic, have a linear chronological structure, and shorter runtimes than films. They also use techniques like handheld camera footage, narration, interviews, and archived materials to guide viewers and sustain their interest.

The document introduces the typical structure of documentaries, including an introduction that sets up ideas and arguments, a middle section that elaborates on these points, and an ending that summarizes the key points. It also discusses the purposes of documentaries, such as to entertain, inform, educate, or shock. Documentaries typically focus on a single topic, have a linear chronological structure, and shorter runtimes than films. They also use techniques like handheld camerawork, narration, interviews, archival footage, and lighting/editing styles to guide viewers and achieve their aims while maintaining engagement. However, documentaries are also inherently subjective and biased based on the filmmaker's perspective and choices of what to include or exclude.
Screenshots
Group 6 created a documentary on mobile phones by importing 3 video clips and editing them together with music and images in their video timeline. They cut the music to fit the clips, changed the volume for effects, cut parts of clips to remove breaks, added titles and text for names using editing tools, and included related archive footage and images to illustrate points discussed in the interviews. They aimed to keep the documentary under 2 minutes by linking pieces together with effects and finishing with credits over final music.

Question 4
- 2. Who would be the audience for your media product?
- 3. Initially (as shown above, evidence from my blog), my original idea was to direct my magazine towards the youth culture, particularly 13 – 25 year olds, as this appears to be the largest consuming age group of the indie genre.
- 4. I am sticking to this idea as I feel my magazine fits the requirements of my audience.
- 5. I would expect the target audience to be indie, and the age category to range from adolescents to young adults . This magazine is directed towards a younger audience, due to the content being based off of recent and current music artists.
- 6. Front cover My target audience is reinforced through my front cover, as the model herself is representative of the people I wish to sell my magazine to. I stylised her in typical ‘indie’ clothing, which I came to an understanding of via the #indie hashtag on tumblr, and from other indie music magazines, like NME. I even used the word ‘indie’ on the magazine frequently: “reinventing indie my way”, “the most vibrant vibes from the indie scene”. I felt the title itself was iconic of the indie genre as neon lighting is frequently used at indie gigs and concerts. I also included popular indie artists as my coverlines, for instance ‘Catfish and the bottlemen’.
- 7. Contents page My contents page also reinforces my intended target audience. The pictures I used are taken from indie gigs, and again my front cover model is pictured in the midst of these photos. My feature articles include iconic indie acts, such as Peace and Tame Impala, again reinforcing my target audience.
- 8. Double page spread I felt that my double page spread was also directed towards my target audience. I reinforced the title ‘neon’ by contrasting bright, vibrant colours to a dark background, with a picture of a guitarist from a local indie band, The Seegulls, captured during a gig.
