Research and Planning: PUBLICATION PLAN

Publication Plan

Here is my publication plan in the form of a PowerPoint which has been uploaded to Slideshare. I have included information about the choice of the name and reasons for this, the price and the content to be included in the magazine.

Research and Planning: MUSIC MAGAZINE SURVEY RESULTS SLIDESHARE

Questionnaire Results Slideshare

I conducted a survey on Survey Monkey to see what people thought about music magazines. It shows that most people would pay between 50p and £2 for a music magazine and that most people read pop magazines.

 

I will use these results to help me when creating my magazine and evaluate how I have used this towards the end of production.

Research and Planning: MODEL RELEASE FORMS

Here are my model release forms which are needed before I begin to take the photographs for my magazine.

Research and Planning: COSTUME AND PROP LIST SHAPED BY RESEARCH

I have done some research into the props and costumes which my models could wear. I based my research on two front covers of the Billboard magazine which my magazine is based on. I have analysed on the image how the item of clothing should be worn.

 

I have decided not to have any props because of the two examples of front covers I have chosen do not include any props.

 

Research and Planning: MAGAZINE DRAFT AUDIENCE INTERVIEWS

I conducted some interviews regarding the initial drafts of my music magazine. The interviews have showed me that the price for the magazine should be between £2 and £2.50. I have also learnt that the magazine does look like the genre it is supposed to be representing which is a charts music.

 

From the interviews, the improvements I need to make are that the cover lines should be repositioned and maybe changed and that there needs to be some more images which I will consider when producing my magazine.

Research and Planning: MASTHEAD AND SELLING LINE

Welcome to the official start of my account of AS Media Studies coursework. I will be creating a music magazine of the genre charts magazines.

My magazine will be called Spotlight and I am going for an informal but classy look. 

I have used a play on words for my selling line - The UKs number one charts magazine - which relates to songs in the charts being at number one.
