Question 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

What I have created:
I have created a RnB music magazine called 'Motion' aimed at 16-26 year olds. The title of the magazine was inspired from old style RnB and I have tried to incorporate the mixing of the old RnB with the new by using black and white pictures. I also took inspiration from the music magazine 'VIBE' as it was both music and atmospheric related. The interest of my target audience is typically other artists of a simular age. I have kept to a very subtle monochrome colour scheme wiht a subtle pop of colour because that is tendy and understated amongst my target audience.

How my magazine fits the conventions of a magazine:







Using Picktochart, I give further details and analysis on the codes and conventions in my magazine and how they compare to traditional ones.

Unused photos






















Why weren't these photos used?

From the shoots that I did, these are my unused photos, they haven't been used as they may be blurry e.g. top right of the first page, out of focus- middle and bottom right on the first page.

The pictures may have been used if the model has been in funny positions e.g. the 3 down the side of the first sheet and 3 across the middle of the second.

Another reason the photos may have not been used is if the model is not using mode of address           (looking into the camera as it means that they don't attract the audience in the same way.) e.g. top middle of second sheet

The final reason a photo may not have been used is if it was taken from a funny angle e.g. the bottom 3 of the second sheet.
