This single lesson we all planned out what had to be included in our main task for it to be a success. We had to think about the audience we was aiming at, the genre, the uses and gratifications of it, house style and the actual contents of it.
We then had to think about images we will need to take for our original photos thinking about mise en scene, props, costumes, location etc.
Our homework is to produce a four page mock up of our music magazine.

This double lesson we had a task to create a powerpoint presentation of one of the genres of magazines we have been studying.
I decided to do NME magazine because I researched and found a variety of information about it. By using the internet and the magazine itself I was able to produce a good quality presentation with main facts on it including the readership, main stories/articles, artist facts(interveiws) etc.
I did not finish my presentation as i was browsing on the NME website for a while, but if I did plan my time more efficiently then i would be able to produce a better presentation overall.

In this lesson we had to write an essay about comparing the website and the printed version of a magazine. It was under timed, exam conditions.
We had to look at differences of them both and how they attract the target audience. I wrote about the Hip Hop weekly magazine as this is what i have been studying and researching the website for homework. I found out that most magazines keep their house style on their website as well as the printed version so the audince can connect the layout and colour scheme to the printed version when online.

During this lesson we all had a certain music genre magazine to look through and make notes about it. The magazine I had was a hip hop genre.
We had to write what was included in this type of magazine, because our homework is to look at the online version of this genre of magazine, this is so we can make note of the differences and similarities about them both.
We then had to think about how it targets its specific audeince and write a short essay piece of writing to explain this using our notes we had just made.

In this double lesson we finished off our preliminary task- school magazine front cover as we had a computer room booked.
After finishing the front cover and contents page we then had to look at different music magazines, this is so we could get ideas for our main task that we will need to do before the next half term. We looked at online and print versions of each genre of music magazine.

In this lesson we started on our main task, which is to create a music magazine.
We had to work in groups of 3's and 4's, I worked with Dave, Stewart and Dan. In these groups we worked together to brainstorm 4 genres of music which were pop, RnB/hip hop, dance and rock, we said what types of bands were in these groups and the language and style the listeners of these different types of music were.
This will help us when creating our final magazine becuase we may chose one of these genres and it will give us a head start as we would already have ideas on the brainstorm.

This double lesson we had to create a front cover of a school magazine using the pictures we had origianly taken for our pleminary task.
We all used photosghop to edit pictures, add text etc, to create our perfect school magazine front cover for St Maks. I named mine 'Mark This Spot' and included the logo, and a range of pictures and text to attract my target audience. Mine was also a 'sixth form special' as I thought this may be easier for me to do because I would be able to relate myself to it.
