How does your media product represent particular social groups? As the main focus of my music magazine is the main character J-max who is a Rock musician who is about to go on tour. So this makes him the logical choice to represent a social group. In this case I tried to focus on the target audience as relating the main character to the audience that listen and read about rock music would result in more sale of my magazine. I decided that the best way to do this was to focus on the mise en scene in regards to the main character. So I selected some cloths that he and I both agreed meet some of the rock music conventions and began to shoot some pictures. Although I did have some reservations abou the choice of clothing it was however the only arrangment of cloths that we could both agree on. But the combination of the shirt and jeans does work well to match the genre of a rock star at home as you don't wear your stage cloths at home do you. I might have changed the tyle of clothing a little as I feel that rock musicians would probably wear something a little darker when in a interview, but as this was set at his famly home it makes sense that he would be wearing more casual rather then practical clothing. This represents a social group as The next area I addressed was the the selection of an Instrument as alot of the rock music magazines have instruments in the pictures with the musician to give the feel of action and movement.

Final Piece

These are the finished products of my music magazine project, they have take me a long time to complete and took alot of hard work to finish of to the standard. I The style of music I have based my magazine on was Rock music which has a huge following around the world, I can only hope that thanks to the support and feedback given to me by my fellow students and my teachers that I can do the style of music justice.

My final piece has gone through many stages to get to this final stage of readiness. I selected the colours I used on the magazine based on the style of music and some of the stereotypical assessments of rock music stylings. I made the main focus of my magazine the character J-max a name I selected for the actor I got to play him in the photographic stage of the creation of my magazine. I chose to use a different style of font to the conventional times Aerial and Calibri as these do not really match the style of music I was trying to convey so I used a font generator and found Angelic war and Bleeding cowboy to use instead. The images on the content page are Black and white I used photoshop to do this, but the reason I did this was to make the images match with the over all darker feel of the page and to make sure that they did not take anything away from the Cover and Double page spread.

Final Piece construction

The content page and the double page spread of my music magazine have developed greatly over the course of the project.

Final piece design

Each individual section of my final piece is developing at a steady rate. Durring the process of creating this magazine cover I have changed my mind about certain aspects several times and this has been reflected in the images I have posted today, The image on the left first on the left is the closest draft to my final piece, before the deadline for this work is reached I hope to have included more Headings and more information on the cover page. The reason why I changed the location of the bar code on this page was the fact that I needed more space on the bottom half of the page for this information. I chose to put the barcode onto the top right hand side of the cover page instead because after trying it in different locations this seemed the best over all, as putting it into the top corner would obstruct the Mast Head which would make it hard for my audience to read the name of my magazine.

selected actor

I narrowed the list down to two possible candidates, Jim and Jake who are both good friends of mine. But due to the posiblity of a long term absence and a few other issues Jake was taken out of the running. Meaning I have finally came to a decision and chose Jim to be the main character of my magazine I originally chose him as he and Jake where the one that looked most like the Rock musician out of the rest.

So today I gave Jim a call and told him he had won. He was extatic and I invited him back to the house to take the shots for my magazine, he was more then happy to as he did not have alot on between 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock. After he arrived we began to dicuss the in's and outs of the project I was doing and began to take pictures of him for the magazine. you can see some of these below.

The first place I took some photos was the in front a plain white wall where I could get the clear uninterupted picture of the artist.
