Research conclusion

Thursday 23rd may 2024.

Product 1 magazine: 

main concept/idea-

The main concept/ idea for my magazine is a rock band e.g. Kate bush.

what genre and how will fit into?-

Rock bands are apart of the rock genre, they usually consist of 4-6 members in a band, my magazine will fit this genre because it will have a group consisting of 4-6 members on the cover and they will also be wearing stereotypical rock clothes e.g. leather jackets. 

How will this concept attract the specific audience?-

People who listen to rock music range from 16-60s this is because rock music has bee around for so long and has been listened to by many, but my magazine will be aimed at people from the age range of 16-25 i will be able to do this because the on the front cover of my magazine will be more younger rock band someone an older generation wouldn't know much about and have no intrest of listening to them. 

concept values?- 

 My magazine concept values will be about helping new/young artists promote there music through my magazine, it will be to help them start off and find listeners/fans for there music.  

How to use technical codes/ mise-en-scene representations?-

When iam taking the photos for the front cover for the magazine i will want to make sure that the lighting is dim and make sure the clothing they wear are the stereotypical clothing for rock bands. i would also want them to be able to tell who the main singer of the group is and by doing this i will make sure that they are standing more fowards then the rest of the band showing there authority i might bring in some props e.g. guitar. 

 

How will these representations attract your audience?- 

 These representations will attract the audience because the target audience will be able to see that there is a rock band on the front of the cover and they might want to read about the new rock band. 

Intertextuality in magazine?-

intertextuality will be used in my magazine because i would steal ideas for the photo off of other magazines and rock artists e.g. Kate bush, Guns and Roses. 

How will it be appropriate for genre/audience?-

It will be appropriate for the target audience and genre because on the front cover the people will be wearing leather jackets and will have props that are connected to rock bands. The text used will be appropriate for the wire because it will be linking to the photo and will only talk about things about rock or will be linked into things about the rock genre this is because the target audience will be expecting to read about rock. 

Product 2 website:

what media language are you going to use?

The media language i will be using is things such as mise-en-scene, colour schemes, camera shots. To make sure that it all fits into the genre of rock so i will be using the correct camera angles and lighting. 

what design choices are going to attract your audience?

Iam going to design my website with dark colours e.g. red and blacks, I'm going to put my writing in bold writing and make it look loud e.g. sharp writing. By doing this people will be able to recognize my website as a rock genre and will want to know what is on the website and will be interested to find out what it is.

what pages will be included in my website?

In my website i will have a home page that will describes what the website is about and have the newly published magazine as well, there will also be links to the other pages which will be the policy's, older magazine with the date it was released, there will also be a shop were you can order the magazines online, it will also be linked to a social media page to help promote the business more.

Website structure?

The website structure will be a simple layout and will be able to be accessed easily, the people using the website will be able to go from one page to another with just one click. It will include information about the website and a email/phone number to contact if they are having any troubles. It will have all the new magazines on the website and the older magazines, there will also be an option to order the magazine through the website.  

how will the website reflect the publisher?

on my website the publishers name will be mentioned and they will be given credit for the work they have done and then other company's can use the publisher if they wanted to.  

what visual elements will hook the audience?

the visual elements that the website will include is pictures of new magazines and pictures of past magazines, it will also include photos from the people who ha helped create the magazine.

  1) The sub-genre iam going for is Indie rock (kate bush, artic monkeys E.C.T.) 

      The name for my magazine will be Rock breeze 

2) The values that my magazine will stand for is independence, this will be represented by having one person on the front cover showing the independence. The content inside of the magazine will consist of a picture of the artist on one of the pages and the other page will have context on the artists and some of there song names on it. This will appeal to the target audience because it will be a new young rock artist aiming at the young teenagers who listen to rock and will will be targeted at the older audience because it will be nostalgic to them.

7) In the background of the photo i would like it to be dark and some lights shinning up onto the person on the front cover making them stand out more then the background itself. I would like the model to either be wearing a black tank top and some back jeans or i would like them to wear a white/orange crop top with black/blue jeans or flares. I would like the model to be holding a guitar and to be looking at it like they are about to play it. I want the style of the models clothes and the photo to look indie rock so its not all rock and has a little bit more softer touch to it. 

    

1) The website am making will be pale/ dark colours to add to the indie rock vibe, it will include photos of concerts and bands that i have attended to this will show what its like to be able to go to a concert influencing the people watching it to want to go to a concert. The context will be similar to the context thats inside of the magazine and will talk about potentially new big artists, it will show the new issues of the magazine that you could buy. The website will also have a bio explaining what we are and what we sell. 

2) Ideas for website-

3)  Article subjects-

• Tour dates 
• Stuff to be able to win prizes with a link to it 
• New fashion styles 
• New artists 
• Most recent magazines 
• Selling things (magazines) 
• Most listened to bands recently 
• Rock songs to listen to 
• coffee stains albums ranked
• genie indie songs ranked (top 10) 

4) Possible section headings for my website page will be-

• Tickets
• Merch/magazines
• Artists 
• Contact information

5) In the visual audio context will show videos of festivals/concerts that i have been to and taken videos of, it will match the ideology for the brand because it will match the theme of indie rock with people up and singing along with the lights shinning as well, the style will be indie rock matching with the theme of the magazine and website.

7) The photoshoot photos will be pictures of such things like guitars, concert/festival photos, the style/editing will be similar to the pictures taken for the magazine and will have a darkish lighting but dull colours in the picture as well to match the indie style to the photos as well.
