Progress

I have closed my online survey recently and collected the data from it to allow me to create an accurate reader profile that I can refer to when creating my magazine.

Photo Shoot Plan

Potential Problems

These are the potential problems that I may have when completing my magazine. I present what could happen and what I would do if any of the problems were to arise.

Proposal Form

This is my proposal form for my magazine. It indicates everything I plan to do to create a front page, contents page and double page spread of my magazine.

Consent Form

This is the consent from that I have created and had my model sign. It declares that she is aware of how the photographs I take will be used and it shows that she is happy with how I intend to use the images.

Sub-genre Research

My magazine is based upon the indie rock genre. This derives from the alternative rock genre which is also the main genre for many other sub-genres. Some of these are:

DREAM POP

This sub-genre of music is often described as an atmospheric sub-genre that relies on both melody and sonic textures. It is also often known as 'shoe gaze' music. The artists often use a variety of breathy vocals and guitar chords to create a 'wall of sound'.



INDIE POP

This sub-genre differs from the indie rock sub-genre as it is less abrasive but more melodic. It originated in the mid 1980's in the United Kingdom.



SADCORE

This sub-genre is more calm and the vocals used are often in a lower pitch than other music. The lyrics used are often sad and sang slowly.

BAROQUE POP

This sub-genre is the fusion of classical music with the pop rock genre. The tee has been used to describe harder edged music that have a less commercial use. The music terms use due to the use of string music that comes from the chamber music.

BRITPOP

This sub-genre was more commonly used with bands that are older and have been around for a while. The genre focused on bands who sang with distinct accents from Britain.

Music Inspirations

For my music inspirations, I used Youtube to discover some music acts that fall into the indie rock genre. Below, I have picked the acts that I believe compliment my magazine the most and I have included a video of their music to allow you to hear the kind of music that will be featured in my magazine.

ARCTIC MONKEYS

I have researched the Arctic Monkeys as they are an indie rock band which is the same genre as my music magazine. This band are very well known and this is publicising the music genre. I chose this band due to their popularity and similarity to my magazine which could inspire me to incorporate aspects of the band and the media that surrounds them in my magazine.

ARCADE FIRE

Arcade Fire are another indie rock band that I have took into consideration when planning the contents of my music magazine. In doing this, I have found the main audience that this band attracts and I can now make my magazine more suited to the target audience that Arcade Fire has.

FOSTER THE PEOPLE

Foster The People are a slightly different indie rock band to the other two that are featured in this post. I have chose to feature this band as, due to the slight musicality difference, they have reached a larger audience which allows my magazine to have a bigger target audience also.
