MAIN TASK: MY MAGAZINE PROPOSAL Why?
Working title:
|
tune
|
Relates to the colloquial
language when you hear a good song
|
Genre:
|
R&B
|
It is the most well liked
genre in the music industry
|
Target Audience:
|
aspirers
|
Aspirers are usually teenage
kids or young adults ad this is the biggest target audience for any music
industry
|
Price:
|
£2-£3
|
Low prices
|
Convergence:
|
Chains, specific colour
scheme, black people
|
Chains and this specific race
is dominant in this genre
|
Feedback from primary research
will act upon
|
layout
colour scheme |
these are two important aspects of magazines which are normally made for this kind of genre. the colours need to be bright and vibrant to draw the readers attention and there is a certain layout which consists in all the magazines. this is usually with a strong powerful image in the middle.
|
REPRESENTATION: Why?
Choice of model on front cover:
|
Female
|
To challenge the stereotype of
R&B being male dominated and goes against the main stereotype of most
artists being black
|
PHOTO-SHOOT FRONT COVER: Why?
Location:
|
Plain background
|
from my research, I found out that most hip-hop/R&B magazines use a plain background to make the image of the model stand out more than any parts of the text.
|
Props:
|
Snapback cap
Chain
|
|
Costume:
|
Baseball jacket
|
This particular genre usually associates with other industries other than music such as sport. This helps both the sport and music industry gain a lot of recognition to widen the audience for both.
|
Shots:
Different angles?
|
close-up
|
Because i am using a plain background, I will use a very powerful close up shot of my model as I have researched that this is very popular in a lot of hip-hop/R&B magazines out there right now.
|
Gestures/Body language:
Different poses?
|
PHOTO-SHOOT CONTENTS
PAGE: Why?
3 different set-ups
at least
1.
Location:
|
studio
|
One of the main areas where
R&B artists are generally at
|
Models:
|
female
|
|
Props:
|
microphone
|
Stereotypical R&B prop
which is used frequently in R&B magazine shoots
|
Costume:
|
Casual clothing
|
By looking through my research
I have found that mainstream R&B artists are normally in expensive but
casual clothing.
|
Shots:
|
Long shot/mid shot
|
Again going through my primary
research, I have seen that long shots/mid shots are used on this page which
use to connote the R&B genre through their costume and props. If I was to
use a close up shot of my model, it would force my viewers to focus more on
their face and features rather than the conventions used in their costume,
which is what I don’t want to do. Shot of her slightly off centre will show
make it look more professional and to give more space for me to put my
contents down.
|
Gestures/Body language:
|
Holding that microphone,
facing away from the camera
|
A direct mode of address
wouldn’t be necessary as it wouldn’t be the first thing which my viewers will
see. My chosen artist/model would be singing into a microphone to relate to
my genre of my music magazine
|
2.
Location:
|
Urban area
|
R&B is generally classed
as an urban type of music so a background with graffiti in the background
would be ideal for my model/artist
|
Models:
|
Male
|
Is usually male dominant
|
Props:
|
chains
|
Chains are a typical prop used by R&B and Hip-Hop artists so I will use a stereotypical prop of this particular type of music.
|
Costume:
|
Topless
|
Having a topless male model, it would link to the female gaze which helps to sell more and it is also another typical representation of a hip-hop artist.
|
Shots:
|
Mid-Shot
|
|
Gestures/Body language:
|
Direct mode of address
|
this will make anyone who reads it catch their attention immediately as it makes it seem like they are relating it to them.
