Stage 2 Planning
I have created a plan for my magazine using this table.
Proposal
Form
Describe
your idea for the brief:
I
will create a magazine that focuses on the pop-punk, rock and punk genre. It
will include an interview from a band of one of those genres and other
content relevant to the chosen genres. The magazine will include a detailed
contents page with images and cover lines designed to engage the target
audience. The magazine will have images of the band that will be interviewed
and also other musicians.
|
Genre/ sub genre: list similar texts which have inspired your thoughts
The genres will be pop-punk, rock and punk.
Magazines like Kerrang!, Rock Sound and NME influenced my choice of magazine
style as they contain information about bands of my chosen genre and similar
content that I’d like to be featured in my magazine. I will also be using
similar colours as the colour scheme featured in these magazines so there’ll
be no outstanding colours
|
Target audience: gender/ age/ characteristics/ behaviour
My
target audience will be for both genders of any age over 16 due to use of
profanity. The target audience will be people with an interest in these
genres of music and want to know more about the general lives of the
musicians.
|
Major conventions I will use
In my magazine I will use a masthead so people
will know what magazine they’re reading. Coverlines and subheadings to show
the content of the magazine. Essential data, for collectors and selling
purposes and a main image to highlight the main feature of the magazine.
|
Conventions I
may subvert/ change/ not use
I may use a bubble if there’s too many coverlines
if I still have information to put on the page. I may end up not using as
many coverlines to avoid the page looking too busy. I will not use too much
text so my magazine will not bore my target audience
|
Original images: what/ where/ what
I
will be taking images of my friend’s band to put on my front cover/double
page spread. They will be taken at my friend’s house and at the venue that
they will be playing at. I will take images of them while they’re playing and
also more casual images
|
Potential difficulties/ Plan B:
The
difficulties I will face will be mostly when it comes to gathering the images
as it will be difficult to get images of the band while they’re performing
live as people could get in the way and the lighting might not be very good.
