Production Making (SOA)

STATEMENT OF AIMS:

For my project, I will be focusing on entertainment magazines that will cover a section of the mainstream media relating to crime dramas in the world of entertainment.

When designing my front cover and double-page spread, I will include a variety of celebrities that may appeal to the target audience, this will satisfy their preferences when it comes to the entertainment industry and will meet the requirements. As people age, their activities and interests change in preference, this is why I will be looking into entertainment topics that modern day adults will find interesting so that I can put together a magazine and show which feels tailor made for the audience reading. Research has shown that crime and action shows are popular among this demographic, hence why my project will be based around this genre to satisfy their needs. My show will consist of crime investigation, violence (since it's 18+), and misuse of illegal substances. In order to fit the background aesthetic for this genre, I will be using very 2 types of locations; the first of which will be very raw and natural, this will bring out the proper hood lifestyle that many people that get into gangs come from. The second location will be indoors, perhaps showcasing a rich lifestyle which will be the background for the gang leaders which will highlight the class difference between the two types of people. 

The magazine I will be making will be named 'Limelight' which has a double meaning, one which means the focus of public attention, the second meaning the intense white light obtained by heating lime, formerly used in theaters. From my own research, I can see that majority of crime dramas have young adults as the lead, therefore I will also be casting majority young and middle aged adults (perhaps this also plays a hand in why they seem to like it as it helps them to sympathize with the actors). As the background, I'll also be be showing a contrast in the clothes and overall lifestyle displayed between the two types of fictional characters that will present, one will be dressed in rather casual clothing, perhaps hoods and other local criminal stereotypes, on the other hand I will have images of my models in well dressed clothes, things such as suits to display the upper class mafia lifestyle helping the audience compare the difference of lifestyle in the hierarchy of crime.

Black Panther Research

GENRE: Black Panther fits into the genre of SciFi / Afrofuturism. Afrofuturism is a cultural aesthetic that fuses the origins of African traditions and culture with SciFi to create a genre of its own. Its philosophy of history and philosophy of science was first coined by Mark Dery in 1993 and explored its a way through the late 1990s and still continues to rise amongst today's generation. Black Panther was perhaps the first movie to properly put the idea of Afrofuturism on the map as, after the high success of the movie, more people started to look into this genre and understand it. Many have perhaps never even imaging a Marvel movie on the sets in Africa to be released.  NARRATIVE:  The narrative of Black Panther is what plays a big of it fitting into the Marvel universe. Black Panther was actually first mentioned way back in July 1996 when the fictional character made his first appearance in the Fantastic Four series in issue number 52 and joined the Avengers in 1968.

WaterAid - Claudia Sings 'Sunshine On A Rainy Day'

URFANA ALAM The 'WaterAid' advert is a well known charity advert that shines light on the lack of basic facilities some people have around the world. The advert starts off with cold colours showing a radio and plant pot by the window seal where you can see the rainy weather outside, there also seems to be murmuring of the weather lady on the news to notifies the person listening to the radio of the upcoming forecast. The ad then very quickly changes scenes into a land field of crops that look to be dry, however not completely dry and dying. The colour here is now warmer and minimal however as the time passes by in the advert more and more vibrant colours are added. The very first time we see Claudia, the camera is already close to her face almost as if it's trying to create that "up close and personal" type of feeling with the audience which does definitely work. It's important to get the target audience to feel a sense of connection with the people in the a...

Zoella & Attitude

  What techniques do your chosen texts use to effectively target and maximize their online audiences (30 marks) Refer to Zoella and Attitude.   Zoe Sugg (better known as Zoella), is a young influencer who has had a rather interesting journey during her career which is still ongoing, surprising her fans with new paths at every turn. She began posting videos on her YouTube account in 2009 when she was 19 years old with make-up videos. Perhaps it was her luck (or a very well-planned investment) that lead her to post these videos, YouTube was still relatively new at the start of her career (YouTube started in 2005) and such content was never posted before. This is called a ‘gap in the market’, this helps people understand what type of products / entertainment the public has never seen and open up ventures to new ideas. Because Zoella began her online career at such a young age, her fanbase was largely made up of people her age, specifically those between the ages of 16 and 2...
