**School Magazine – Planning Sheet**


 * Task: **


 * Remember, you are required to create a front cover with a medium close up shot plus some appropriately laid out text, a masthead and a contents page. **


 * Use this sheet to help you with your planning. **


 * **Who is the target audience? (Consider age, gender, interests)**

My target audience are mainly teenagers that are in sixth form/college. Although my magazine is aimed at a specific age group, it is not aimed at a certain gender. The magazine will mainly contain information on things related to education and many other things associated with college life.


 * **What is the name of your magazine? What are the connotations of the name?**

My magazine will be called ‘Moving On…’ The reason why I have chosen this to be my title is because it suits the idea of growing up and going through the change from being in school and being treated like a child to then being treated as an adult and being a lot more independent.


 * **Who will be your front cover model and why?**

Kayle will be my front cover model as he was appropriately, formally dressed in proper school uniform which made me think that he was the ideal person for my magazine cover and also he was the age appropriate choice for my magazine as I am aiming for that target particular group audience.


 * **What sort of shot will it be? Inside / outside? Low / high angle?**

The picture that I’m going to be using for my magazine cover will be take outside and it will be a single long shot of a student.


 * **What mise en scene will be required? Location, Clothing, lighting)**

I would like the picture to be taken in natural lighting preferably on a day with good weather and some sunny spells. The location should be near flowers and greenery/ nature and the clothing should be smart and formal/ something which is appropriate to be worn at work or at a college.


 * **What would be your sell lines? How will you entice your target audience?**

The cover of the magazine will have catchy quotes on relating to the content and some brief information about the context which will intrigue the person looking at it and would want the make them find out what’s inside.


 * **What items and feature articles would you need on your contents page?**

On my contents page, am going to need to pick out the most catchiest part of a story and briefly put it into one line labelling which page that content is on which will guide the reader right to the area they are interested on reading, without them having to shuffle through and struggle to find it.

**Music Magazine – Planning Sheet**


 * Task:**


 * Using what you have learnt about the generic conventions of music magazines and what you have learnt about a specific genre magazine in your seminar presentation, you are now going to begin planning for the coursework task.**


 * You will be required to create a front page, contents page and double page spread for a new music magazine. This should build on knowledge gained in the school magazine task. This work is what you will be assessed on for the AS coursework grade.**


 * Use this sheet to help you with your planning. Then upload a digital version onto your wiki:**


 * **What genre/s of music will your magazine cover?**

The genre of music that my magazine cover will be about is R’n’B.


 * **Who is the target audience? How old are they? Where do they live? What are their interests?**

The target audience for my music magazine will be from young teenagers aged 15 to young adults up to the age of 25.


 * **What is the name of your magazine? Why? Connotations?**

The name of my magazine is Fresh Vibe. The reason why I have chosen this name in particular is because, my magazine is about a new artist emerging into the music industry who didn’t discover his talent until in his early 20s, when he was studying in University to become a pharmacist but instead took the completely opposite path. My masthead will be quite colourful and casual. The tittle will be written in a professional way and the letter ‘I’ in the word ’Vibe’ will be a picture of a microphone instead of the letter to make it obvious that the magazine is about music.
 * **What will your masthead look like? Do you have any ideas for fonts? (this should be accompanied by sketches)**


 * **What will be the focal image for your front cover and why?**

The focal image for my front cover will be of a male model dressed in smart/ casual clothing holding an I-pod listening to music.


 * **What photography will be required? Give details of shot type, angle and composition**

The picture that I’m going to use for my front cover will be a front mid shot.


 * **What mise en scene will be required? Location? Clothing? Make Up? Lighting? Use of colour?**

The picture will be taken in an open area/park. The model will be wearing casual yet smart clothing e.g. Jeans with a casual shirt, a body warmer and trainers. The lighting will have to be natural and directly coming from above to indicate that he’s a star and the spotlights are on him. His clothing will be Navy Blue, Black and grey.


 * **What would be your sell lines? How will you entice your target audience?**

My sell line would be ‘ARE YOU THE NEXT STAR??’ This would attract teenagers and young adults to purchase the magazine as it would intrigue them into knowing and reading more about it.


 * **What items and feature articles would you need on your contents page?**

On my contents page I would have an Interview with the new artist, his life, influences and inspirations. Tips on how to improve your vocal talent, interview with an existing well known artist and what they experienced on their journey to becoming a star and how it was similar or different to the artist am writing about.


 * **What is the focus of your double page spread? (interview? feature? Reviews? Etc)**

The focus of my double page spread will be the interview with the artist and how it compares or differs to the artist that inspired them.


 * **What photography will be required for the double page spread? Give specific details.**

Double mid shot of the artist and the interviewer will be used for my double page spread. This will show the interaction between the two and also will indicate the importance of him.
