Our media brief starting in 2014 is to create a music
magazine cover, a contents page and a double page spread featuring a potential
music artist. We have been looking at previous students’ magazines’ (with the same
brief) and looking at the pros and cons which will help us in creating our own.
The areas in which we have been focusing on the most are camera shots, layout
of the magazine, colours and how these all fit with certain music genres in
order to gain the best potential for our music magazine.
I have looked at various genres of music magazines’
including Rock, Pop, Indie, Country and Classical. For inspiration for my own
future music magazine, I felt that my genre should be chart music (pop),
although I am not yet 100% sure. To reach this decision, I looked deeper in to
the similarities and differences’ between most popular chart music magazines’
across the world such as Billboard, NME and Q. These have already inspired a
few possible ideas for some information I could include on my cover or contents
page as I will be able to use current and contemporary music news.
I will look deeper (market research) in to what genre I feel
there is a gap in the market and use this information to help me make my
decision on which genre to base my music magazine on.
A good outline of what's been discussed in relation to the brief so far. Please check your work for SPAG accuracy? E.G: 'previous students' magazines' - needs the apostrophe and 'the most areas we have...' is not grammatically correct.
