Martyn Hollinshead AS Coursework

Good effort. I liked your supporting Animoto moodboard and ideas in your pitch about your colour palette, font, photography, model and target audience.
You now need to reflect and evaluate more carefully about exactly what you are hoping to produce and how you will do it.
For example:
- Exactly what sort of music lover would buy your magazine? (Go back to your work on ch4 Tribes and link it to your GENRE)
- What specific inspirations/ conventions are you planning to use? For example WHAT CONNOTATIONS you are hoping the audience will automatically understand by your use of model/ costume/ colours/ cover lines?
- How will your magazine STAND OUT? Are you using any special artistic ideas?
- What POSE/ CAMERA ANGLE will your model(s) be using? Why? What message are you hoping it will project about your artist and audience?
- CLOTHES/ COSTUME also make us have particular judgements about people. How will your artist be dressed and why?
- Will you be using any LOCATION/ STUDIO shots? Where and why? Where will these photos be placed?
- What range of OTHER PHOTOS will you be using? Any photos of festivals/ gigs/ groups of people/ instruments?
- How much will your magazine COST and why?
- What other aspects had you not considered before that you now realise are important?

Your moodboard gave a clear reflection of the genre you are basing your magazine on. You used some striking images and bold words, such as ‘Aggressive, Eccentric’ and ‘Alternative’, explain in more detail how your magazine will convey these words.
In your pitch you said your target audience was 18-28 years, is it targeted at a particular gender? Explain your answer?
The colour palette you have selected is different to most rock magazines; can you explain why this is in more detail? It may be worth posting a few examples of different backgrounds with the coloured text you would like on it, to show you have experimented with your colour palette. Post more examples of different colour palettes as you only have the one you are using, show other examples you experimented with before deciding on a final colour scheme to show you have researched.
The test shots you have done are nicely composed, with the action shot allow for enough head room and consider your mise-en-scene. Maybe post a few examples of images before and after manipulation on photoshop.
