Title/ Genre choosing

What the Title should be.

This is one of the most important things on the magazine because its how you get recognition and without it no one would know what the magazine was and it would never be bought again because they wouldnt know what to look for. It must somehow relate to the genre of the magazine because if it was a sports magazine and you called it "Tween Talk" it wouldnt suit it at all. I have thought of numerous different names which include...

• Pop Power. (The power of pop)
• Allegro (this means quick and lively in relation to music)
• Music Madness
• Turn it up
• P (Short and simple to remember)

I shall conduct a survey of which is the most favourite and then that will be the title of my magazine.

What the Genre of the Magazine is.

I have decided that after much consideration that the genre of the magazine will be Pop because then I can write purely about pop and artists to do with pop. My second choice was to do an all round one where I did about everything but I found that targeting at one segment of the market was better because then I can work on it just appealing to them.

Different Camera Shots

I am analysing the different types of shots avaliable for me to use on my magazine.

  Extreme Close-Up-

An extreme close up is a shot where one small segments of something e.g. an eye of a person. This makes it more dramatic and highlights the emotion the person is feeling through their eyes.

This wouldn’t be the best thing for my magazine because it doesn’t show who the person is and how they relate to that genre of magazine.

Close-Up-

When using a close up shot it allows you to see the person or object in more depth and the expressions on their faces are more pronounced than when not. Especially when in black and white because everything stands out more.

The problem with this is that you cannot see the way she’s standing and there can me no more detail in the picture i.e. you cant see any objects around her.

Medium Close-up shot-

A medium close-up shot is a picture taken from the top of someone’s head to their shoulders. This allows you to see

A medium close up is from the head to the top of the shoulders only. This is the best shot for showing the detail but still not being too close that there is nothing else to see.

This image looks dramatic because it looks like she’s staring at you which draw you into her. This is probably the best one for a magazine cover.

Medium shot-

A medium shot is taken from the top of the head to the waist.

This is so you can see the angle of the way that they are standing as well as the expression on her face.

Medium long shot-

A medium long shot has been used here so you can see all of the dress because this was taken on a fashion show and therefore they want to promote the outfits I could use this because it means that you can see the body language

Long Shot-

A long shot shows the full length of their bodies because they are supposed to look cool and appealing to the eye by the way they are standing, It shows you what is happening in the picture and you can make up ideas about what it is related to.
