Ellie Morrice proposes a magazine called AMP (Alternative Music Press) that will cover indie, rock, and alternative music genres, appealing to 16-24 year olds passionate about music. The magazine will follow conventions of similar publications like NME and Q, with the masthead in the top left corner. Articles will have a main image on the left and questions/answers format, and images will be used on the front cover, contents page, and within articles. The magazine aims to look professional while appealing to its target audience.

Evaluation Question Five fo A.S Media Cousework 2014
I used questionnaires to determine my magazine's color scheme of red and yellow. The yellow text did not show well on the light background, so I changed it to gray. I kept yellow and red elements that fit with the black, white, and red photo I used on the double page spread.
For cover lines and bands featured, I researched popular rock bands and styles used in other music magazines. I included more bands on the contents page than the cover since not all would fit.
The front cover layout is simple with one centered photo, cover lines around it, and standard elements like price and issue number in the bottom right. The contents page uses three columns wrapping around centered photos with page numbers. The double

Similar to Task 9, Music Magazine Planning
Music magazine evaluation
This music magazine targets working class 16-year-old females interested in rock music. Psychographic research found the audience likes indie bands and connecting with friends/family. The magazine uses a similar layout to NME with pictures, bite-sized text, and competitions. It would be distributed by Bauer Media Group since they publish magazines like Kerrang! that target this young audience. The magazine represents teenagers positively through articles about young artists challenging stereotypes.
Music magazine evaluation
This document evaluates a music magazine created by the author. It analyzes the target audience based on research questions, which found the audience is mostly 16 year old females who like rock music. The magazine uses conventions from real publications like NME and Kerrang! including layout, images, and cover lines. The author learned skills in Photoshop and how media can represent groups in positive or negative ways. The progression from an initial task taught the author how to influence beliefs and properly format a magazine to attract audiences.
Task 9
This document provides details for a formal proposal for a rock music magazine called NRG. Key points:
- The target audience is males and females aged 14-18 based on research showing they prefer modern content.
- The front cover will feature an attractive female model in dark makeup and leather clothing to appeal to both genders. The color scheme will be red, white, and black to match typical rock magazines.
- The contents page will include the magazine title, date, issue number, images and text to attract and maintain reader interest while keeping the color scheme consistent.
- A double page spread will feature a large image of an artist and an interview article in a question and answer format to engage readers

Question 1
This is Question 1 of my AS Media Coursework.
In what ways does your media product use, develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products.
Planning my music magazine
- The magazine is called "indiependent" and targets young people aged 15-20 who enjoy indie music.
- It will focus on the indie music genre through exclusive artist interviews and photos. Pastel colors will be used throughout for visual appeal.
- The magazine will be sold both digitally and in stores for £3 per monthly issue. Social media accounts will be used to promote featured artists and keep readers engaged between issues.
Question 1
The document describes how the media product, a music magazine called "Pop'ular", uses and develops conventions of real music magazines for its target audience of 9-15 year old females. Some conventions it follows include using bright images, bold colors and fonts, and interviews and articles about pop artists. However, it also challenges some conventions by having a slanted title font, limited photos on the cover, and only featuring female models. The layout, contents page, and focus on the pop genre also aim to develop realistic conventions for this target audience.
Media Evaluation
The document discusses the process of creating a school magazine focused on R&B and hip hop music. Key points:
- The creator was inspired by the style of Vibe magazine and aimed to replicate its simple, straightforward style.
- The target audience is teenagers and young adults aged 17-19 who enjoy R&B and hip hop music.
- Sections of the magazine like the cover, contents page, and feature articles are modeled after styles from magazines like Vibe, Q, and Kerrang to achieve a professional look.
- Photographs were planned carefully to relate to articles and make the model appear relatable to the target teenage audience.
Question 1
The media product is a magazine called "Pop'ular" that targets teenage girls aged 9-15. The magazine challenges some conventions by using a slanted font for the title and only featuring female models, but otherwise follows conventions. It uses bright images, interviews pop artists, and discusses fashion to attract its target audience. The layout and content sections like interviews and pull quotes mimic a real music magazine. Overall the magazine develops conventions through its focus on pop music genre and young female audience.
Question 1 evaluation
My media product challenges some conventions of teen pop magazines while developing and using others. On the front cover, I used conventions like placing the masthead in the top left and including sell lines, but challenged conventions by using a blue background instead of white. The contents page includes conventions like labeling it "contents" and listing articles down the left side. For the double page spread, I stuck to conventions like including a large artist image and quote, but challenged conventions by placing the image on the left side and adding more smaller images. Overall, I aimed to make the product appealing while also making it unique.
Conventions
This document outlines conventions for magazine design based on genre research. It discusses conventions for the masthead, cover lines, contents page, focal image, and double page spread. The masthead should be short, memorable, and consistent in style. Cover lines provide information on magazine contents. The contents page lists articles and uses images and structured layout. The focal image is usually a medium or long shot of the featured artist(s). The double page spread relates to the cover image and includes text, images, and design elements to engage the target audience.
Task 9
This document provides details on the research and planning for a proposed rock music magazine. It discusses conventions of music magazines, including content, style, and frequency of release. Research on rock magazine conventions found they typically use red, white, and black color schemes. Research also identified the target audience as males and females aged 14-19 who prefer modern content. A survey supported these findings and suggested a price of £1-£1.50. The formal proposal outlines plans for a magazine called "MOSH (MAG)" targeted at 14-18 year olds. The front cover will feature an attractive female model in dark makeup and clothes to appeal to both males and females. The contents page and double page spread will maintain the red

The front cover will feature an attractive female model in dark makeup and clothes to appeal to both males and females. The contents page and double page spread will maintain the red
Magazine Proposal
Vicky Lawrence proposes a magazine called "Alter Sound" focused on alternative rock music. She describes the magazine's genre as predominantly alternative rock but also including other rock subgenres. Her target audience is males and females aged 16-24. For the front cover, she plans to feature a close-up of someone holding a rock instrument in genre-appropriate fashion. The contents page will list sections like news and features alongside 3 images. A double page spread will interview an artist with their image and a quote teasing the article.
Magazine cover analysis
The document discusses magazine cover design techniques based on an analysis of music magazine covers. It notes that successful covers typically feature a large central image of an artist, with text on one side in a balanced layout following the rule of thirds. Two examples from the magazine Vibe are examined in more detail, with aspects like the prominent central image, large bold text, and sidebars with additional content highlighted. The target audience and need for eye-catching images are also discussed.
Magazine cover analysis
The document discusses magazine cover design techniques based on an analysis of music magazine covers. It notes that successful covers typically feature a large central image taking up most of the cover, with text placed on one side according to the rule of thirds. Two magazine covers, Vibe and Billboard, are examined in detail. Both covers effectively use a large prominent image, bold text, and sidebars to balance the design and promote the content inside. The target 16-25 demographic and use of popular artists like Eminem are also highlighted as factors that help grab readers' attention.
Plan for music magazine
The document outlines plans for a new magazine called "Amplify" targeting 17-18 year olds interested in rock and alternative music. It will include interviews and articles promoting up-and-coming artists, using a color scheme of red, white, and grey. The front cover will feature a close-up shot of a band member and the band's logo to entice readers to learn more about an interview with the band inside.
Question one power point
My media product uses and challenges some conventions of existing music magazines. It uses conventions like a focus on indie music, red coloring associated with that genre, and layouts that make content easy to find. However, it challenges conventions by having a longer descriptive title rather than initials, and not including text on one side of the double page spread to focus solely on the image. Overall, the goal was to be unique while still attracting readers through some familiar conventions.
Eval question1
The document compares the forms and conventions used in the magazine "Vibe" and the magazine being designed. Both magazines use large, bold mastheads and headlines. However, the new magazine's masthead is less covered by the main image so readers will be more familiar with it. It also uses different color schemes and layouts for elements like the menu, main images, and kickers to make it stand out compared to Vibe. The new magazine also includes more sections like editorials, fashion, and artist profiles to provide extra content for readers. Continuity of color schemes is used across the cover, contents page, and double page spread to make the magazine feel cohesive.
Evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of Abi Betts' magazine project. It summarizes the key elements of the magazine, including the conventional yet minimalist front cover design inspired by Billboard magazine. It also describes the simple yet interesting contents page layout inspired by Q magazine. The magazine aims to represent indie/alternative music fans ages 16-24 through the cover artist and genres featured. Distribution partners and platforms are discussed, including targeting audiences through social media. Techniques learned like using Photoshop and skills improved from an initial school magazine project are also summarized.

Codes and conventions of interviews
The document discusses various codes and conventions used in filming an interview for a documentary. It describes using natural lighting from a window to properly illuminate the subject without affecting quality. Medium close-up camera shots were used to capture the interviewer's expressions while discussing the delicate topic of underage drinking.

Graphics were included to introduce the documentary topic and insert extra statistics.
Recording Schedual
This document contains a schedule for filming various tasks related to a project from the 14th to the 18th of October. It assigns three people - Suhayl, Hoorie and Hira - to carry out vox pop interviews at a police station/court, a touchwood, and a college on different dates.
Ellie evaluation question 4
Ellie Morrice used various new media technologies in the research, planning, construction, and evaluation stages of her documentary project. She researched online using Google and compiled information into Word documents. For construction, she used a camera, microphone, Final Cut Express, InDesign, and GarageBand to film, edit, design layouts, and create soundtracks. Overall, Ellie utilized the internet, word processing, video/audio editing, and design software to complete each stage of her documentary project.
TV Advert Analysis
The document outlines the design choices for a magazine article promoting a documentary called "Homophobic Britain?". These choices include using a montage of faces on the left side to represent the diversity of individuals interviewed, formatting the title and body text in different colors and styles to draw attention, and including design elements like pull quotes and logos to be consistent with magazine conventions. The goal is to entice readers to learn more about attitudes toward homosexuality shown in the documentary.
Storyboard
This storyboard is by Lizzie Seffer. A storyboard is a visual outline of important scenes and events in a film or video project. The storyboard allows filmmakers to plan shots and visualize how a motion picture will unfold before going into production.
Initial documentary ideas
This document lists initial ideas for a documentary project from Ellie Morrice, Hannah Costin, and Lizzie Seffer. It appears to be brainstorming early concepts or topics from three people involved in creating a documentary. The document gives the names of three individuals but does not provide any other details about the proposed documentary topics or ideas.
Homosexuality documentary ideas
Homosexuality in society is a complex issue with a history of both discrimination and growing acceptance. Producing a documentary on this topic could explore how attitudes have changed over time, from criminalization to same-sex marriage now being legal in many places. Interviews with LGBTQ individuals, activists, and experts may provide personal perspectives on the challenges faced and progress made regarding gay rights and social perceptions of homosexuality.
Ellie research
Documentaries are a form of non-fiction film that depict real events and people. This document discusses research into documentaries, including how they are evaluated by peers. It also mentions peer assessment, which involves experts reviewing and providing feedback on documentaries.
Mediums in media
Mediums have long been depicted in media such as movies and television shows. These depictions often portray mediums as mysterious or even frightening figures with supernatural abilities. However, the growing popularity of shows focused on real mediums has led to a shift toward more accurate and sympathetic portrayals that highlight mediums' roles as spiritual guides.
Research into Documentaries
This document discusses documentary research and evaluation. It covers documentary genres and provides evaluations of peer-produced documentaries as well as the well-known documentary Supersize Me.
Twitter documentary script
Twitter is a social media platform with over 500 million active users who post over 340 million tweets per day. It allows users to follow public figures like Lady Gaga, Eminem, Justin Bieber, and Katy Perry as well as ordinary people. While some view Twitter positively as a way to self-promote, it also has negative effects and has been used to post criminal comments that have led to arrests. The local police force in Solihull, UK runs a Twitter account with over 6,000 followers, around 8% of the town's population, and the documentary visits them to understand their perspective on Twitter.
Interview Research
The document discusses research involving an interview. It mentions Solihull Council and religious views. The research also relates to college and someone named Toni who was interviewed.
Religious Views
The document summarizes religious views on homosexuality from Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam.
Catholic views hold that homosexual desires alone are not sinful, but acting upon them through sexual activity or deliberate fantasizing is considered sinful. Homosexual people are called to chastity. Both the New Testament and Catholic catechism condemn homosexual behavior.
Jewish views cite prohibitions against homosexual acts in the Torah, but note the individual is not condemned. While prohibitions exist, persecution of homosexual people is considered un-Jewish.
Muslim views overwhelmingly condemn homosexuality. Several Muslim-majority countries impose the death penalty for homosexual acts. Persecution of homosexual people is common in many Islamic nations

Research evaluation pp
Ellie Morrice conducted a questionnaire to evaluate starting a new music magazine. The questionnaire found that indie and alternative music were the most popular genres among 16-18 year olds from mostly middle-to-upper class households. Most respondents said there was room in the market for another magazine and were willing to pay £2.50 per issue. Popular artists mentioned included Nirvana, The Smiths, and Arctic Monkeys. Based on the results, Ellie plans to create a magazine called Alternative Music Press focused on indie and alternative genres, including concert listings, new music and festivals.
Task 6, Genre and History
Indie music dates back to the 1960s but became popular in the UK and America in the 1980s. Originally, indie referred to independent record labels. Later, it was used to describe the music recorded by those labels. By the 1990s, indie was used to identify acts that maintained an outsider and underground status. The document then lists examples of indie rock artists.

Task 9, Music Magazine Planning
- 1. Music Magazine Proposal Ellie Morrice
- 2. Introduction Overall, I would like to produce a magazine that looks professional and possesses all of the qualities that other magazines posses in order for it to fully obey the codes and conventions of music magazines that will appeal to the majority of the individuals within my target audience.
- 3. Title • I have decided that I am going to name my magazine AMP, which stands for, Alternative Music Press. Not only is an amp a musical device which is in keeping with the fact that it is a musical magazine; it also tells the audience what genre of music the magazine will contain. Also, as it is small, it will enable me to place it easily in the top left hand corner of the magazine in order for it to be clearly visible when on a shelf, as is done similarly in Q and NME.
- 4. Genre • After researching into NME, Kerrang! And Q, I have decided that my magazine will cover the indie/rock/alternative genre. I believe this will work best as the particular genre is extremely popular, and also, as I like that particular genre the most and believe that I will have the most knowledge on this particular music genre. • I have also decided that I will focus on new artist as well as old classic bands such as The Smiths and The Sex Pistols
- 5. Target Audience • As I intend to produce a similar style magazine to NME. I have decided to target my magazine at 16-24 years olds, who are highly passionate about music and know what they are talking about. By targeting my magazine at individuals over 16, I will be able to talk about more racy subjects in my magazine such as drugs and sex. Also, I shall try and make the magazine appealing to both male and female in order to make my magazine as appealing to all as possible.
- 6. Front Page • I wish to place my masthead in the top left hand third of the page so that it is clearly visible when on a shelf, and also so that the name of the magazine becomes an image that can be associated with it easily. • The copy shall all be written within the same colour, and I shall use a pull line in the centre of the page, on top of the main image in a contrasting colour in order to grab the audiences attention. • I intend to use a limited colour pallet so that a uniformed and mature look is given to the magazine, as I wish to appeal to young individuals and professionals it has to look “cool” and appealing. • I shall use one main image of a medium shot, as magazines such as Q and NME use this often and it looks professional and appealing.
- 7. Contents Page • I would like to have the articles that are within my magazine to be divided up into sections, and to be headed by a sub heading in order for the articles to be easily found and for it to look organised • I would like to have one main image, which takes up most of the page, with a few smaller images around the outside. • I intend to continue the limited colour pallet throughout the magazine in order to continue with a unified appearance.
- 8. Double Page Spread • I shall have one main image on the left hand side of the double page spread as I have seen magazine like NME and Q adopt this convention • I shall write my double page spread in a Q and A form as through my survey people indicated they prefer them to be in this way • I will keep a limited colour pallet throughout so that my magazine looks professional and recognisable.
- 9. Images • Front Cover – After looking at other magazines that are similar to the magazine I wish to introduce, “Q, NME” I have noticed that often, if it is an individual artist, that a medium close up of them appears central to the page only, often on a plain background. Therefore, this is the style I would like to use on my front cover. For example: • Contents Page – Following the same process when looking at contents pages, I’d like to follow the same codes and conventions of having one main image, copy being on mainly one side of a page, and having a number of smaller images next to sub headed sections. • Article – Articles often have a main image on the left hand side, and the main copy on the right hand side. Also, I would like to have my main copy to be in the form of questions answers, with two small opening and concluding paragraph.
