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.

Research Rationale

I will be conducting two types of research, audience research and market research. The target audience for my music magazine are from the age 14-18 year olds. I have access to these age groups as I am in school and my school has a sixth form. I am currently in year 11 at secondary school which means I have access to people younger than me and older than me as my school is joined with a sixth form. I could find a few people from these age groups and ask them to be in an interview for my focus group. For my market research, I will deconstruct a music magazine so I can pick out the main conventions of a music magazine and make it sure it is a product that my target audience would prefer to read I will look at the features of a music magazine which is aimed at teenagers and identify the common features which are on the magazine or inside the magazine. I will also look at the colours and fonts used on each magazine and pick out to how it targets their audience and how it matches to th...

Introduction to NEA Brief

We have been assigned to design and create a music magazine front cover and a double page spread for 14-18 year olds. I know that I will enjoy this because I am a huge fan of music and I will be able to have a clear understanding of what 14-18 year old might want to see on a magazine. I am excited to spend a big amount of time trying to create my magazine because I really enjoyed making my prelim magazine as it helped me improve my media skills. When I am working on this magazine I am hoping to improve my photo shop skills as it was very hard to understand because i had not used it in a very long time before that. I am also looking forward to work with my model as my favourite part of making the magazines was taking the pictures before actually designing my magazine. I am also looking forward for the research because it’s interesting to see what teenagers prefer over other genres or ideas. This will help me a lot as it will be easier for me to know what I need to include in my m...
