Practicing photographic technique
I decided to change my chosen music scene to indie, as this is the kind of music I listen to and have an interest in for use on the music magazine.
We are now making a questionaire and getting the results to help develop a college magazine, then we will eventually make a music magazine. I intend to create an even more complex questionaire to find out about my indie audience on the music magazine which will be targeted specifically towards people who would be part of my audience. These results will help us find out about the needs of the audience. The questionaire explores a range of different areas of life including fashion, music taste, income and social grades, interests, age, gender, including much more. By conducting the college magazine interview I can to the conclusion that Look Forward readers are students of the college Prior Pursglove. They are generally teenagers, around the age of 16 to 18 who are very outgoing and socially active with a wide range of interests, everything from sports to cookery. They listen to varied genres of music but the majority are poptastic. The females idolise Beyonce and Cheryl Cole as their stle icons, and the guys admire the likes of Ne Yo and Justin Timberlake. The readers fit into a comfortable social status, enjoying a life with many oppurtunities,which they, or more likely their parents, are able to fund.
For the college magazine front cover we needed a medium close up head shot. This could be done by using props and different photographic techniques such as the angle from which it was taken. The photo is then to be edited into a front cover on photoshop. I got practice for photography by instructing my model on which way to pose and using props.
We also researched ideology which meant we looked at politics and the beliefs of different political parties to explore their ideology. An ideology is a world view and overall way of looking at things showing a system of values, attitudes and beliefs which an individual, group or society holds to be true. This is important when producing the magazine because it needs to be aimed towards a group and the ideology they share needs to be considered so the views shown are suitable.
The way that media feeds us information was also explored. This was by looking at the hypodermic shringe theory which means when the media inject us with the information.
