Treatment

SERENE

I am creating a front cover, contents page and double page spread of a music magazine based on the sub genre Pop/Dance, using inspiration such as masthead, layout, house style, articles and images, from real music magazines which have a similar sub genre to mine.
My magazine will be aimed at teenagers and young adults, aged from 14-25. It will be aimed at girls as it will include some features that are feminine such as feminine colours and type of house style. The magazine will have a niche target audience as the sub genre is specific, so will only appeal to people who enjoy that type of music.
As my magazine will be a Pop/Dance music magazine, the photo’s I take will look energetic and fun and will represent music in this way. For the front cover image, I will take a medium close up of a friend turning her head to the camera and laughing as if she is having a good time. She will be wearing a bright coloured top with her hair down and straight, to give an energetic and vibrant look. This image will portray an ideal self, for the target audience of which is girls. For the contents page, I will take a photograph of a group of girls who are in a band. They will be at one of their gigs, dressed up, with their hair and make up done, wearing party clothing and looking glamorous. I will also take a photograph of a dancefloor inside a club, which will signify a kind of rave. For the double page spread I will take 3 separate photographs of a friend, which will replicate images of Kelly Clarkson that I found. She will be wearing black leggings, a plain white top and black jacket, as this will give a modern and dance- style look and also this worked well for the photos of Kelly Clarkson. She will be holding a microphone in all of the shots to symbolise that she is a music artist. They will both be action looking shots, which will portray my Pop/Dance music sub genre.
I will interview my friend, for my main article, asking questions about her new success in music, with her new album etc, and how her lifestyle has changed. However this will not be real and she will make the answers up as she is not a real singer. For ideas on how to present the interview and rest of the article, I research different music magazines, looking at the double page spread, including the choice of layout and style, for inspiration on how to create mine.
To keep the photo shoot’s safe, ensuring there won’t be any possible health and safety risks, I will take the front cover and double page spread photos in the media room M236, where there will be a blank backdrop and required equipment such as the lights and cameras. Incase of anything going wrong, the nearest First Aider is Vicky Rowntree in M138 or one of the Sports Staff in SD3 or in the event of a fire, the evacuation assembly point in the event of fire or other emergency is the Front Football Pitch.
