Media Analysis of Photos

Photograph analysis

From my photograph inspirations, I got an idea of what kind of outfits I would want to use. I have taken Lady gaga as inspiration for the wordrobe, by using very unusual and outrages clothing to catch my readers attention. It also matches he colour scheme of my magazine, giving my magazine a more professional look about it. The use of props use as the musical instruments relates to the genre of my magazine advertising that it is a music magazine. The hair and makeup are also not your everyday style so that it gives off the image that she is famous and a music artist. My music magazine is diverse and therefore I have ranged my outfits so that some appear "rocky" and some appear as the average teenage style which the majority of teens wear today suiting the majority so that my audience is broader and that my magazine sells more copies. The poses that she has used can appeal to both genders as she can seem seductive to the male population of readers and for femals she could be portrayed as a role model, as she is a successful women. Some of my photographs have been taken at a low shot angle so that the camera looks up at my model, therefore she is being portrayed as a role model and superior o the audience, I have also taken some midshot and long shots at her level so she comes across as relating to the audience giving them a feeling that they share things in common. I have also related back to the Lady Gaga inspiration from her video 'telephone' where she appears with coke cans in her hair and twisted the idea by putting kitchen utensils in my models hair so it gives the impression that she is very 'wild' and humourous, good qualities for reading. This will catch my audiences attention as it is unusual and eye catching.

Inspiration for Photographs

Here is an idea that I am considering for my masthead, from my questionnaire results I have used the preferred colour scheme which was red/blue and white, and used the theme of young british artists. As i have dedicated my magazine to Young british artists I wanted a name for my magazine to be "british" therefore decided that by naming it "Full monty" which is British slang for the entire take, all that is desired, this title is showing my audience that this magazine's content is all of what they want included in their magazine and alos giving them they affect that it is what they 'need'. I used the union jack as it represents British culture and used a slighty more edgy version of it, to make my magazine more interesting and perhaps even "rocky". My colour scheme also does not relate to any particular genre of music and from my poll results it seems the best way to produce a successful magazine would be to do a more diverse magazine. I chose to use this font as it fits in with the rough union jack look.

Analysis from Poll.

    

      From my feedback of my poll I have more of an understanding of what I can include in my music magazine. From my answers I have an even amount of males and females who have voted, therefore my music magazine will be aimed at both genders, it is convenient that the most popular colour scheme voted was red, blue and white as these are unisex colours and I can portray a unisex magazine by using these colours. By using these colours it also gives me an idea of the theme of my magazine which will be young new british artist, using the young and new artists will attract my target audience which from the results is late teens. It is clear to see that from my results a large majority of people rarely buy music magazines, therefore this gives me an idea of promoting a cheap prescription so that they are bought more often, the reason people may choose not to buy magazines very often could also be due the price of magazines, from my poll the outcome of my results for how much people wish to spend is mainly in the price range of £2-£2.99, in result of this I will price my magazine in between these prices around £2.50 so that my magazine will sell more. The majority of people listen to indie and rnb music therefore I will make my magazine diverse in  music styles, people would rather see interviews in magazines so in result of this I will produce a double page spread with an interview, it was also voted that people would like to see cash and gig ticket prizes, this gives me an idea of what I can use for competition prizes. 

Audience demographics. 

     Understanding the audience demographic of a media company when is extremely important. Audience analysis is a starting point for any media project, you need to figure out your audiences demographics such as, how old they are, where they live, their interests and anything that's appropriate for what your media project is, for example I have asked Kelly what music she is in to and referred to other media such as television, to produce a music magazine it is essential to find out what their lifestyle and interests are and what type of music they listen to as this helps sum up your target audience and what type of people will buy your magazine. The more you understand your audience the better your chances of capturing their attention.
