Statement of Intent

For my NEA, I will produce a music magazine cover and a double paged spread for 14-18 year olds. To create this magazine, I conducted an audience research to find out what type of genre and what schemes my audience would prefer to see on my magazine. This gave me an idea of what I would include on my magazine to make it perfect in my audiences’ eyes.
I will use media language through the use of mise en scene which will include lighting, props, camera work and editing. I am planning on using different techniques this time to see what will fit into my genre and if I can create meaning through the use of it. As my magazine is a RnB/Hip Hop magazine the mise en scene that I will be using will create a deep and dark meaning about my artist and her music and the lighting will also create this effect. I will use different camera angles to try and also shape a meaning  and create a different level of engagement to the audience.
 For my background, I will be using a studio as it will be much easier to edit and change background colour and there would be more focus on the model as there will be nothing in the background to distract the reader. I am planning on subverting the stereotypes of a female as my magazine will be a RnB/Hip Hop magazine she will be dressed in a certain way that you usually wouldn’t see a girl dress like.
