'Music magazine research and planning


1) Research music magazine cover key conventions. Look over the magazine cover key conventions notes sheet and write which of these you will use for your magazine cover. (This is a film magazine example but the conventions still apply).

One of the magazine cover key conventions i'm going to use is that i'm going to use a Title of publication which is going to be on the top middle of the magazine and behind the central image.
I'm also going to use a slogan to sum-up the magazine's image and to stick in the readers mind.
I'm going to use a central image which is going to be a medium shoot.I'm also going to use colour scheme.   

2) Find at least five music magazine front covers (either current or former magazines as many have stopped their print editions) aimed at a similar target audience to your project (mainstream music audience). For each one, pick out one design idea or convention that you could use in your own print work.


I like how the background is dark but the text is white because it makes it stand out.I like the colour scheme.


I like the cover lines and how it is clean and the text is on the side.

                                                         
                                                       

This magazine makes the central image stand out really well.
It has bright colours so it stands out really well.


I like the placement of the slogan.
The slogan is very catchy as it shows Aj Tracy as an upcoming musician in the music industry.


For this magazine i like how it is a low angle shot because it make the Eminem look big and strong.

1) Plan a title and slogan (sell line) for your new, original music magazine. Sketch out possible designs for the masthead - font, style, colour etc. If you are creating a front cover for an existing music magazine, make sure you recreate the magazine's style and branding accurately - what font do they use? What colours? What is their slogan?

Title - 

2) Plan the content for your magazine front cover. What will be your main image? What cover lines will you include on the cover?



3) Produce an A4 sketch of your front cover including the key conventions and design tricks you have studied in existing magazines and then planned in the planning tasks above.







1) Why have you chosen this music video to research? Why do you like it? 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dOAk_DL6SI -  i like this music video because it matches the 
video, the video in the background is called naruto and naruto is a pretty good show

2) Is this music video narrative / concept / lip synching or a mixture? How is this effective?

The music is related to the actual TV show. 

3) Mise-en-scene (CLAMPS) - what characters and props are featured and how do they offer pleasure to the audience?

4) How are the lyrics matched to the visuals? This could be storyline or props / characters. Be specific in 
examples.

5) What settings are used and why?

6) What do you want to do for your music video concept? Will it be narrative or lip synching? Who will be in it? Plan your props and settings.

Coursework Film Pitch

  1) What will be the title for your own original NEW horror film? If you're not sure, write down two or three possible titles and you can choose later. Shumbuck Lumbuck   2) Write a tagline for your film – it's effectively a slogan for the movie: Betcha Can't Drink Just One Clairvius Narcisse tetrodotoxin extract. 3) Write a logline – this is like a longer version of the tagline. It's one sentence that sums up the film and hooks the audience in under 25 words: A normal and peaceful town starts experiencing a zombie apocalypse and the townspeople are at a loss as to what to do. 4) Write down any existing horror films that are similar to yours ("My film idea is like a cross between Scream and Contagion"): Banana fish. 5) What is your narrative/storyline? Write a short paragraph that explains what happens in your film: Beginning:Once There was a family called The Stonks family and they were living a peaceful life. Dr Heinz Doofenshmirtz was once an evil scien
