Planning: Magazine Name ideas


I drew up a brainstorm of many magazine names that can apply to my music magazine.
The choices were from:
RAP CITY
REWIND
JAMZ
PRESSPLAY
RAP WORLD
BASE.
I drew these name ideas up as they all have a reference to the rap genre and can easily be interpreted by my audience as the rap genre.

I have decide to use 'PRESSPLAY'. This is because it uses alliteration which my audience may find intriguing. Also the fact that pressplay is a literal action that is linked with music. Calling it 'PressPlay' is a play on words as you people literally press play to listen to music.

I think this would be the best magazine name to use that will attract my audience the most

Planning: Camera Shot/Angles

They're a variety types of different camera shots that are used in a all types of magazines. The most common shot used is a 'mid shot'. However they're many other selective shot types and angles that can be used as magazine images (through all pages). These include:
  • Mid shot
  • Two shot
  • Long Shot
  • Close up
  • Medium Close up
  • Birds eye view
  • high angle shot
  • Eye level shot
  • Low Angle
  • Bottom angle (worms eye view)

I've decided the shots and angle types I will use when taking my photos, for my magazines images, will be mid shots and long shots. I chose the mid shot type because by choosing this shot type I will be conforming to the typical shot types of magazines. Also this will enhance the view of the costume or props and make it more visible to my audience.

Planning: Flat Plan - Draw up

I’ve decided to organise my magazine pages like this because it’s clearly structure which will make it easy for the audience to view. This will make the target audience engaged because they can see the content clearly and won’t get confused by anything. This well organised layout will make magazine look professional and attract the target audience. Because the target audience I aimed at is young I have added convergence as my target audience is in to social networking. I have also put in an incentive because it will offer a sense of abundance to the target.
