JAnuary 2018Media studies test paper improvement Question 3-Analyse the features of the front cover of VOGUE magazine in terms of representation Original Version: The title of the magazine 'VOGUE' is behind the model. This shows us that the producers of this magazine want the targeted audience to see the model. The model is taken from a mid shot at eye level so the model can stare directly into the camera. This makes the targeted audience more intrigued by the magazine. The background of the image is really blurred, this makes the background less distracting and makes all the attention go to the model. In front of the model there are titles of certain topics in the magazine. Most of the titles are on the left hand side of the magazine. This is because all magazines in the shop have the left side of the magazine exposed and the right side covered up by another magazine. The text also has different colours and fonts to stand out, but still keeps a certain theme which in this case is blue, black and white. Improved Version: The title of the magazine, 'VOGUE', is behind the model. This shows us that the producers of this magazine want the targeted audience to see the model. The model is taken from a mid shot at eye level so the model can stare directly into the camera. This makes the targeted audience more intrigued by the magazine. Also by taking a mid shot the audience can clearly see the models clothes and face. The model in the magazine is black. This is breaking the conventions of a magazine as stereotypically a cucasian is used as model. The background of the image is really blurred, this makes the background less distracting and makes all the attention go to the model. In front of the model there are titles of certain topics in the magazine. Most of the titles are on the left hand side of the magazine. This is because all magazines in the shop have the left side of the magazine exposed and the right side covered up by another magazine. The text also has different colours and fonts to stand out, but still keeps a certain theme which in this case is blue, black and white. The magazine also wrote on there front cover 'From size 0 to size 10'. This shows that the magazine is targeting a wider audience so that more people would be interested in this magazine. On the magazine cover there is also text about working out and diets as this is a popular topic at the moment. The magazine will mostly attract to a female audience. To attract the targeted audience the model looks elegant and attractive as shown by her jewelry and clothing. This makes people want to buy the magazine as they want to look like the model. Blog In December we got a project to work on during the holidays. We had to make an advertisement for after the winter holidays. I already made some pictures for a poster for 'AXE', but after a attempt of trying to make a advert out of the pictures I gave up on it. I thought I would use it if I didn't get any other good ideas before we had to hand it in. But when I thought we had to hand our work in, we got another two weeks. I had an idea to make a Coca Cola advertisement. This time when I made the pictures I was in Oman so I had good weather conditions and I could get good sun lighting. I wanted to take the pictures on the beach and I wanted to have good lighting so I planned to go at 4:15 to get the photos as at that time the sun starts to go down. I was walking up and down the beach for nearly an hour to decide on where I wanted to take my photos and in the end I decided the first location I had in mind was the best. I took the photos, edited my best photo and then put it on my blog and analysed it. I was happy with the result I had and that I got an extra two weeks to do it. We also got our test results back. I was really happy with my score and I now know what I need to improve on and I am now confident in taking the real GCSE paper. In this blog I made an improved version of one of the analysis's in my test paper. My Advert Poster:
