Last week in AS Media Studies, I started and completed my Article Draft. basicaaly, this is the article that will appear on my double page spread, with a few adjustmens.
I wrote my interview in the style of an NME double page spread interview to follow the conventions of popular Music Magazines. I based it on a question and answer style, so the magazine asks the question, followed up by an answer by the band member or artist. In this case the artist who is also the model for my magazine.
Next week, is the last week before christmas and I will start creating my magazine on Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Today, I sketched out my first draft for a front cover. I drew it with a pencil and ruler but I filmed myself sketching it to make it seem original and get more marks. I then uploaded the video onto Adobe Premier Pro and shortened the time frame making an 11 minute clip play for 30 seconds. It looks really good and I added an Indie style song, similar to my magazine genre to fit with it.
I also started making a contact sheet that portrays all of my photos from my latest photoshoot. This will be put on my blog and hosted through scribd.

This week was the week where I did my first photoshoot. We came after school and took out a camera. We then walked around out of school to find good locations to shoot out magazine photos. We will have several photoshoots in the coming weeks but this was the first. We used an SLR camera with a lens that allowed us to fade the backgroud and define the foreground. The pictures looked professional and most pof the photos were a success.
Although some werent so good as we had to experiment with light conditions and arpature sights.

Diary Entry 2
This week our task in AS Media was to create a Prezi presentation about Key Concepts for Music Magazine Analysis. They are: Codes and Conventions, Representation, Institution and Audience. Each of these were heading and under them were subheading breaking the subject down into researchable chunks.
I had to research topics such as how music magazines make money and also how they have reacted to the latest tablets and gadgets that could be forcing the magazine, newspaper and comic industry out of business.

Dear Diary,
My first few weeks of AS Media were a success. The preliminary task was to create a front cover and contents page for a school. We had to plan it by drawing and sketching it, then we put it onto photoshop and made it on there. I then uploaded it onto my blog and evaluated it. The magazine was designed for secondary school students. We had to pick a target audience however I picked the whole school. This was to entice the whole the school to buy the magazine.
Our next task was to was to analyse three music magazine. We had to analyse their front covers, contents pages and double page spreads. Firstly we started on the front covers. I chose three Indie magazines: Q, NME and Kerrang! They are the three most famous and three that many Indie and Rock fans can relate with. I then had to upload these onto my blog. I uploaded them onto Slideshare which is a way of presenting Powerpoint files on a blog. It looks very attractive and is a different was to host files.

Preliminary task
Evaluation- Front Cover
The main image on my front cover is a full bleed. This means it fills the entire page. I changed the image on my real cover as I took a very good image and wanted to use that instead. The title is called 'The people' which will entice a variety of audiences as my magazine is meant for the entire school. All of the sell lines entice these audiences as they all relate to different years in the school: 'GCSE choices, We can Help!'. This will obviously draw attention from Year nine students as they are in the GCSE choosing process.
'School Survival Guide', is aimed at year seven students who are new to the school and want to know how to cope with the everyday pressures of high school. Finally 'Top Tips For Exam Survival', the target audience here is for year eleven, twelve and thirteen students as they are undergoing there GCSE, AS or A2 exams.
All of these sell lines help to 'sell' the magazine to the intended target audiences. The colour scheme suits that of boys and girls so will entice a variety of year 8 boys to year 11 girls, who maybe worlds apart in terms of their hobbies, likes and dislikes.
The colours on the page will b
e bright and vibrant as they will attract and entice people to come and view it and the the sell line will 'sell' the magazine.
My contents page has a list of random pages on the left hand side, easily viewable for anyone, making for easy reading. There are no long or complicated words or phrases to suit all abilities. There are images of the students in the school so that they can be related with and a picture of the headmaster for a special article on him in this weeks edition of The People.
The website is in full view for people to see, this advertises the magazine on the front page and on the contents. Also on the front page is the price, which is 50p. The price is not expensive which allows both rich and poor, upper and lower class people buy the magazine, as the school has many different social classes and people benefit economically differently.
.
