Magazine Planning

  • My magazine will cover reggae and bashment music.
  • My target audience are people in the UK who are fans of this genre of music between the ages of 19 and 27 because the majority of people of a black ethnic background have parents that would have come to the UK with this kind of music and they would have been exposed to it from a young age. It also applies to people of other ethnic backgrounds as they get exposed to the genre through the mixing of different cultures.
  • The masthead of my magazine is...
  • The masthead is likely to have a graffiti look to it with a red, yellow and green colour scheme. 
  • The main image of my magazine front cover will be of a young woman, who is an up and coming bashment and reggae artist. I chose this because i found that people generally like to see what bright new talent is available as it provides them with something different to listen to.
  • The shot that is likely to be used is either a close-up or a low angle shot. The reason being that the close up emphasizes that the main feature is her and it draws the focus towards her and the low angle shot gives the impression that she is superior as it would appear to the reader we are looking up to her.
  • In terms of mise-en-scene, all I will need is a plain white background most likely. For the clothing I require a t-shirt or vest and denim shorts or leggings, the typical attire of a bashment/reggae female artist.
