AS Coursework Proposal Table – Stage 2

Proposal Form

 

Describe your idea for the brief:   My idea for the music magazine is to create a magazine that brings together different genres of music, meaning readers that are interested in several genres can purchase my magazine and read about all different artists from different genres of music.

Genre/ sub genre: list similar texts which have inspired your thoughts   NME, Kerrang, Billboard

Target audience: gender/ age/ characteristics/ behaviour   My target audience is from late teens to the late twenty’s and anyone interested in the genres of music and the artists that will be discussed and featured in the magazine.

Major conventions I will use   I will try and make my magazine stand out, with the colours, arrangements and the photos, so that the magazine looks interesting and will make people want to buy and read it.

Conventions I may subvert/ change/ not use   I may include features such as; posters, free items to be won, competitions ect in order to enhance the chances of my magazine being bought.

Original images: what/ where/ what   My images are of a friend who offered to model during a photo shoot, they are taken in many different locations in South Shields. We tried to vary the images, so we did different angles, heights, poses and locations. The locations are not conventional photo shoot images, they were taken outside and I believe they have a more likeable appeal as some readers may recognise the locations and therefore relate to the magazine.

Potential difficulties/ Plan B:   The potential difficulties were; my friend being unable to model for the shoot, the camera dying before we we’re done and the weather being terrible and not allowing us to take the photos.
