Evaluation Question 1

In what ways does you're media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

I have followed style models of real music magazines to ensure that i have used the right conventions and style so this will make my magazine look as professional as possible. I have also tried my best to make my music magazine as unique as i could.

Masthead:

This is my masthead of my magazine. The masthead is big and bold to catch the audience's attention. I have used this idea from the style models that i have looked at. My magazine is called 'UNPLUGGED' and on the front cover is a main picture of the band 'revolution' which is   

the main band in my magazine. 

Headlines&subheading:

This is my subheading on the front cover of my magazine and it is also bold and big too attract fans of the main band that i have used which urges them to want to buy the magazine. i have also got this idea from the style models that i have looked at but still have added my own touch to make it right for my magazine. The subheading that i have used hopefully makes the fans want to read more into the magazine.

Barcode, price and date:

Here i have also used another convention of real media products to get the style right and make the audience aware of the price, the barcode and the date this magazine was issued.

Mise en scene:

For my mise en scene i have used the colours black, white and red which are eye catching colours and also represent a rock magazine genre. I have got the models in my magazine to make it look like they have a attitude so it looks more professional for my magazine photos. The models were mostly wearing dark colours to represent to the rock theme i have used.
