My year 12 magazine notes

Media Language / Mise en scene

• The title font blends in with the wall and urban feel
• Initials of music and base used as a slang name
• The big space of wall above our heads
• Fonts used as graffiti
• The writings all on a slant to show the style and give a an impression to the audience that it's about the latest trend and not how neat it is
• The hoodies/clothing help give the magazine leak what's in side
• Fashion of the boys shows the genre and the audience it's aimed for
• Lots of colour going on to make it stand out a lot more
• Sharp fonts to make the audience read and pay attention to them
• Basic use of language to appeal to a wider teenage audience

Institution

• Set in a cold street by a wall in England
• The magazine is made by their owners and not a big well known company
• Some of the titles show that sponsors are used inside the magazine and so they the magazine is an institution in its own right
• It's an institution for famous bands and singers to get publicity

Genre

• The clear genre is an urban/street styled magazine
• Can tell the style through font, mise en scene, background, and the clothes the band is wearing
• Also has an indie look to it as well
• More of a formal genre due to the slanted writing, the urban fonts used and the stance of the band

Representation

• The fonts of the subtitles are represented as graffiti on the urban styled background
• The band are in trendy and stylish clothing to represent an up to date boy band
• The stance of the band represents the formal look to the magazine
• The title of the magazine's font looks worn out and scratched to represent an old but cherished magazine
• The street styled picture is used to represent the life and style of teenagers
• The different colours used represents the use of diversity in their magazine, and the different types of bands interviewed later on in their magazine
• The location represents the hangouts of teenagers all over the UK

Audience

• The location on the street shows quite a teenage style
• The use of clothes the boy band is wearing shows quite a fashionable style which will be done for the teenage population
• Teenagers are well known for being crazy over boy bands and music so this also shows who the magazine is aimed at
• The boy band themselves are teenagers which gives the magazine and the audience something in common
• The graffiti styled wall looks quite diverse but stylish. This is exactly what the majority of teenagers prefer in a magazine
• The fonts have an indie look to them. Indie style is highly populated by teenagers at the moment
