Photographs
I took various photographs that I felt would be suitable for my hip-hop/R&B magazine, paying attention to lighting, models, clothing, and poses. I was inspired by the front cover of XXL magazine featuring Nicki Minaj and Drake taking up most of the frame. I wanted to recreate a similar style with my two models resembling a hip-hop duo. I also took a photo of another model to feature in an article and give readers more insight into the magazine's content. The contents page uses smaller images to allow easy reading of text and navigation. The double-page spread continues the style from the front cover to provide flow and identify the magazine's genre through the models' poses and attitude.

My evaluation
On the front cover of the magazine, the author uses a male model represented as a bit of a thug to appeal to the target male audience of late teens. Throughout the magazine, the author aims to represent the target audience of middle class teenagers through the casual clothing and appearances of the models. While trying to include diversity, the magazine unintentionally shows bias towards featuring only white British people due to limitations. The author considers publishers like IPC who distribute similar magazines as potential partners due to their large audience reach and expertise in marketing magazines across different platforms.

Codes & Conventions
A news show follows certain codes and conventions including the use of studio news readers to present stories, field reporters who report from remote locations, and links between reporters and the studio. A typical news report structure involves a main story in the studio followed by a report from a field reporter and may include interviews and actual footage from events. Experts are also sometimes featured to provide context and analysis.
Codes and Conventions of documentaries
This document discusses conventions of documentary and single camera production. It defines a documentary as a recording of actual events based on people's perspectives or facts. Key conventions include using actual footage, voiceovers, interviews, and text inserts. It also discusses narrative structures like linear, non-linear, and open/closed endings. For single camera production, it notes that one camera is used at a time, allowing flexibility in shots and lighting but requiring more editing. Technical aspects like camerawork, lighting, sound, and scripting are also covered.
Codes And Conventions Of Documentary
Documentaries employ several conventions to appear authentic and factual to audiences. These include a knowledgeable or opinionated voiceover, presenting footage as unaltered recordings of real events, using natural lighting and sound, archive media to provide context, interviews with experts though their views may be disputed, on-screen text to establish time/place, non-diegetic music to influence meaning, and set-ups of typical scenes for efficiency though they recreate rather than document reality. These techniques aim to convince viewers of the documentary's validity, but risk prioritizing familiar images over new perspectives.
