research and planning: publication plan

My Publication Plan on Prezi

research and planning: The results of my research on clothes

All the conventional clothes of rock bands.

Research and Planning: Clothes idea inspirations

Male:
All of this pictures have inspired me to use jeans- skinny or baggy
also they have made me decide on checkered tops or bright coloured tops with a lot going on, on them.
There hair to be long and styled with gel.
piercing and tattoo's but this is optional because not all rockers have piercing and Tattoo's.


















Female:
The costume and make-up for girls has come from the lead singer of paramore hayley williams

• The big, back combed hair


• The black eye liner


• Shorts with tights coloured or patterned


• Any top as long as they have a lot going on, on the front.


• or skinny Jeans and converse.
  

Research and Planning: Analyse of an interview

This interview is between Sydney Rees' and Paramore. Paramore are an American rock/punk band and that is the type of bands that will feature in my magazine.

• The interview is very informal, this gives me the idea to be quite informal in my magazine because if people can relate to this then if i use this formality in magazine then they will relate to it.
  
• Also the language used in the interview is very informal "awesome" so I will use language like this is my magazine as the target audience will understand this and relate to it.
• Asking the band questions on how they meet and got together. so i can use this in y interview.
  
• Its also spontaneous speech so i will include fillers, and hesitations in my writen interview to make it more realistic.
  

Reasearch and planning: weather forcast for the next four days

I have collected the weather forecast so I can prepare myself and my models for any weather condition for when I go to my location to take my final pictures.

Resarch and Planning: Beginning of Music magazine front cover.

This is the start of producing my music magazine. I have done this using photoshop and when I have my final images i will put this on after as the background of the magazine.

Research and Planning: Font re-draft

I have thought over my fonts and decided to get a new one that represents a rock magazine and i found the font Broken74 and downloaded this of www.dafont.com so I could use this for my magazine.This is an example of my new font.

Research and Planning: Plan for the week commencing 22nd of November 2010.

My plan for this week is to get all my research for costumes done so I have a real understanding of what my target audience will expect an also some more research into interviews and music videos so that I can get as many meanings as possible. so i can use them in my magazine. Start to put my magazine together.

research and planning: two page spread story ideas.

• For my two pages spread I am going to focus on my band "Don't forget Me," so because they are a new band to this magazine then the target audience/ readers will want to know about the band personally and how they got together. I thing this should cover one page of the two page spread.

• I think the title should come over both pages but dominant one page.

• I also thing a lot of graphics to show the band and head shots so the audience/ readers know what the band members look like and can analyse them for them selves.
• An idea is to put an interview between the magazine editor and the band so that readeers can have fun finding out about the likes and dislikes about the bands. Icould include questions like Who's the most famous person you've meet? Whats the most embarrassing thing you've ever done? Who is your inspiration/ Idol?
• From the analysis of the two page spread of Kerrang I need to have story that will interest the readers as the band is a new band.
  

Resaerch and Planning: Rock music videos and images.

For part of my research I decided it would help me to watch music videos from rock influence, including the kerrang channel and Scuzz. I thought this would be a good idea to help me get a better understanding, so i could see how they behave when performing and the look they portray. So i could try and put this across in my magazine.

This is the music video http to avenged sevenfold - Nightmare, this is a well known rock band and I have looked at their appearance and there performance so I can try and include it in my pictures I found:

• A lot of tattoo's
• Mad hair styles - to show that their different and unique
• Bandannas/ sunglasses - This signals hiding identity making it seem like what there doing is illegal or looked down upon, making it seem outrageous.
• They are aggressive when they sing - These relates to the loud music.
  
• Creepy animals - Tarantula - I think this is included to connotate scare as a lot of people are creeped out by these sort of animals.

Research and Planning. My location Ideas

When I started to think about locations for my magazine I thought of all the locations that would signal Rokc to the audience I came up with:

• An under ground walk way - I thought of this because rock is loud and if the picture was to be taken under an underground it could connotate the loudness because its away from the world.
• A motor way - I thought a motor way would be a really good idea but I knew icouldn't do this because of the danger. But thaty would be a good representation of my band because rockers have a stereotype of dangerous.
• City center - I thought a city centerwould be a good idea because after research rockers like there music to be heard and in a city center there music would get a lot of attension.
• Canal/ woods - I thought this would be interesting because it would connotate exclusion from the world. I t would connotate that the rockers feel there music is two outrageous for the busy urban streets.

After a lot of thought I decided on the canal/ woods because I felt this was the location I could make work the best and it would give my magazine an intersting, diverse twist.

Research & Planning : Location recces and Risk assessment.

These were completed on the 9th of November 2010.

Research and planning: Actor release form.

These are the actor release forms for the people I have done model shots for. I will only be use three models out of three five but I have got these froms to secure that these people allowed me to take the photos.

Resaerch and Planning: Shot list - potental shots for my magazine

Shot types and angles I'm thinking of using in my magazine.

• Long shot of the band in action from a low angle to make them look dominating. With the camera canted to give the shot a funky twist. Two page spread
• The head shots will be medium close-up, I have decided to include this shot because the band is new and people will want to know what they look like. Two page spread
• Wide shot, long shot of the band in action at their location for the front page. This is to tell the audience that the band "Don't forget me" is the issues main story. Front page
• Pictures of different bands from medium to long shots, this will be for the contents page to show that the magazine isn't just about one band so it will appeal to more people.

Examples of shot types.
This is an example of a long shot. This is a good shot to use becasue its shows the whole image of the band so the audience of the magazine will no what the band look like. To use a long shot has been influenced by the kerrang magazine














This a example of a medium shot. This is a good shot touse because this shows the facial expresions of the band members so people can make assumptions on what the people in the band are like.










This is an example of a canted angled shot, i feel this well be a good angle to use in my magazine as it makes a picture more interesting. This will also be good because the genre of my magazine is rock and I feel that rock is not a dull genre so the shot will hae to project this.

Reasearch and planning: draft of two page spread

My initial ideas for my two page spread have been influenced from my analyse of the two page spread of Ker-rang. I feel that the use of images keeps the reader interested and that the stories on the two page spread also keeps interest of the audience. I thinkthis because the two together make the two page spread interesting to read and look at and it shows the reader that the magazine is not boring.

Research and Planning: Outline of target audience

my target audience is aged between 19- 32. So this implies students and people who have part time jobs but are interested in rock music. The social groups of the target audience will be D/C.
How I propose to reach my target audience is by using images that they can relate so they feel comfortable reading the magazine. the language used will be laid back and easy following as the target audience are only students and they will want to be able to read a magazine that's easy going. Also I am going to include stories and subjects that the target audience can relate to and are interested in to make them want to read the magazine and enjoy to relax with the magazine. On the other hand I need to make my magazine more professional than the magazine "Kerrang" that I have analysed in my research and planning because this magazine aims more to students in further education- University. Also to people in full time and part time work who enjoy to read about music and find out about new music and gigs.

Research and Planning: Production Schedule

Research and Planning: Model shots.

These are five potential models for my magazine.
