Friday & Directed Study

During our lesson time on Friday and for directed study this week you need to work on your magazine analysis:

o   Magazine Analysis : Analysing front covers

When analysing you need to consider what the various technical elements connote and how they have been constructed to appeal to the target audience.

 

Analyse two different front covers and post on your blog by Friday 16 October.

The front covers need to reflect the music genre you are going to work in. E.g. if you think you’re going to make a pop magazine then you must choose two different pop magazines to analyse.

a.      Introduce the magazine:

Music genre / sub-genre

Institution / publisher

Target audience (mainstream / niche, age, gender, occupation / income, interests)

b.      Analyse how the magazine has been constructed to appeal to the target audience.

You must analyse key features like, the masthead, coverlines, central image – shot type, puffs, pugs, mise-en-scene, colours and fonts. Comment on the house style, brand identify, use of language and mode of address For this section it is really important that you analyse the connotations of the various features of the magazine and then explain how they appeal to the target audience.

o   Each analysis does not need to be very long 200-250 words will suffice.

o   The examiner does not want to see long blocks of text so you need to think about how you are going to present your research. E.g. publisher, powerpoint, www.prezi.com...or you could make a vlog!

o   You will be rewarded for your use of media / magazine terminology.
