Monitoring post 20/02/2012
By Monday 5th March I should have a rough cut of my products
By Monday 19th March my products should be completed
From Monday 19th - Friday 30th March I will be working on my 7 evaluation questions.
Then my completed portfolio should be submitted for formal marking on Monday 16th April. I should use the Easter break to make any minor amendments to my work.
In order to meet these deadlines I will take my photographs of my chosen models, decide on fonts for my magazine and font sizes i will use thought my magazine. I will then focus on drawing all of my ideas together for my final product.
I will also improve on my previous work by adding my missing prelim documents (front cover image and write up). create a path on my textual analysis prezi. I will also create another textual analysis to try and achieve higher marks throughout my work. I will also need to create a post discussing who would publish my magazine and if it would be successful. I also need to clearly state my target audience by creating an audience profile.

Article planning.
Purpose of my article : My article aims to inform the reader whilst entertaining them. My article will be based on a recent gig by the artist and their person highlights
including quotes and information regarding upcoming gigs. Myarticle aims
including quotes and information regarding upcoming gigs. Myarticle aims
to bring the reader closerto the artist. I believe that using quotes
and the artists own opinion on the gigs will make the reader feel
as if they are being directly addressed.
Writing style: I have chosen an informal writing style as i feel that this will make the reader more interested and drown into the article as they would be directly addressed. although
my writing style will be informal i have decided to refrain from using slang terms or
my writing style will be informal i have decided to refrain from using slang terms or
regional based jokes making the magazine accessible to all readers.
Flat plan Research
During my research i gained a variety of feed back about my flat plans. After explaining my product and what i aimed to archive. There was a few key points such as what fonts would i be using and sizes. I then looked into similar products and the fonts and sizes they used, all of the products i looked into used similar basic large fonts, to help them stand out and be easily read.
I also gained feedback on the layout of my contents page that it is "unique", "attractive" and "easy to read" this made me think that having a unique contents would look more attractive to the reader, but still easily readable and informative.
Another piece of feed back i gained whilst doing my research was "attractive colour scheme and relevant to target audience" this made me think about other colours that would also appeal to my target audience, to make my magazine look more attractive and try to avoid looking too basic with only two colours. (witch was my original idea)
I received a few points of feed back about my double page spread, "using multiple shots of the artist is interesting and appeals to the audience" I chose this idea by looking at similar products and selecting witch

Image anaylsis and Composition
The character on the right hand side, has an eye line which is in the top thirds this gives him dominance over the other members of the band suggesting he is the lead singer. the sunglasses prevent the artists from having any direct address with the audience, giving them a sense of mystery.
The matching costume choice shows that all the people in the image are members of the band. The leather jackets suggest the rock genre of music.
The sunglasses used give the artists a sense of mystery, and rebellious attitudes.
The body language of the band suggests confidence and authority, standing tall and seem to ignore the camera. the lead singer is also positioned in front of the other characters again suggesting authority.
This is a close up shot the artists eye line is in top thirds this gives him power and authority. It also gives direct direct address to the audience, this makes the reader feel more involved with the artist.
The colour scheme in this image is also interesting as the contrasting background this makes the character stand out, but also relates to the genre or music (rock) as it is portrayed a quite a unsubtle and unique. The mise-en-scene in this image is also interesting as the dark make-up use and dark clothing suggests quite a dark and sinister character.
This image is a mid close up, this is important because of the body language and props withing the image, the shot only containing this artist suggest he is the leas singe/guitarist. His eye line is also in the top third this suggest power and authority. the lack of eye contact with the camera suggests maybe a shy character. The colour scheme also relates to him being shy as he blends in with his surrounding. this may also suggest that he is comfortable within his surroundings, and the role of the leading artist. As the images seams to be a shot of him at a gig/concert it gives the reader a feeling of being closer to him preforming.
Looking at these images and analysing them have been useful for gaining images for my own magazine. They have a range of different elements such as mise-en-scene witch is important in each image, although they are portraying the same genre they are also showing different character aspects. This made me think about the Mise-en-scene for my composition. Body language is also important in these selected images again to show different character traits. This will be important in my inages as the different artist will have to show clearly different personalities to make the reader react to each one differently. Also the different colour schemes used are interesting, this made me think of how i would want my colour scheme and how this would help to show the feature artists. Overall these images have helped me to adapt my original ideas to be more effective and loo more professional.
