Leah- there seems to very little work here- no ancillary analysis and lack of other planning elements. The song lyrics are not analysed. Don't forget that audience info is key. You must be uploading all research and planning.

Song Lyrics

If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
You say: If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

Wear them gold and diamonds rings
All them things don't mean a thing
Chaperons and limousines
Shopping for expensive things

I be on the movie screens
Magazines and boogie scenes
I'm not clean, I'm not pristine
I'm n queen, I'm no machine

I still go to Taco Bell
Drive through, raw as Hell
I don't care, I'm still real
No matter how many records I sell

After the show or after the Grammys
I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin', reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang
And now I'm in

We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

I'm talking Champagne wishes, caviar dreams
You deserve nothing but all the finer things
Now this whole world has no clue to do with us

I've got enough money in the bank for the two of us
Brother gotta keep enough lettuce
To support your shoe fetish
Lifestyles so rich and famous

Robin Leach will get jealous
Half a million for the stones
Takin' trips from here to Rome
So If you ain't got no money take yo' broke ass home

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

I got problems up to here
I've got people in my ear
Telling me these crazy things
That I don't want to know (fuck y'all)

I've got money in the bank
And I'd really like to thank
All the fans, I'd like to thank
Thank you really though

'Cause I remember yesterday
When I dreamt about the days
When I'd rock on MTV, that be really dope
Damn, It's been a long road

And the industry is cold

I'm glad my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know
my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know
my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know

Possible Locations

I'm not sure how useful this is; only one location filmed and not sure how it ties in with the song?

Research and Planning Evaluation

Research into genre helped me with production because it gave me a feel of the style that is represented throughout the R&B industry. Once I had established this it made it easier for me to decide the colour scheme and the style of layout I wanted to use, as from research R&B magazines were very simplistic. It also allowed me to identify the different conventions as well as features to make my magazine suitably fit my genre. 

The research into target audiences allowed me to create an appealing magazine and appropriate themes for my the age of my target audience. This is extremely important as different features work well for certain age ranges and what appeals to a 16 year old would be very different to what appeals to a 30 year old. Research and planning also helped as it was always there to look back on when I got stuck and needed to refresh my memory for ideas or inspiration. It also made me feel a lot more confident in the creation of my magazine as I felt I knew what I was doing and had a lot more background knowledge which would lead to making a magazine to the best of my ability.

Audience feedback was a very important element of research and planning as the main aim was to make the product appealing to the audience, and by creating surveys and gaining other forms of feedback, this meant I was creating exactly what my audience wanted. This is something that I will keep in mind when producing the music video, as the feedback I will receive can be taken on board and the necessary changes will happen. The effect of these changes will improve the quality of the music video and fit better into my chosen genre. 

From the first production research I learnt how crucial time allocation was for the project, as I underestimated the amount of time each stage would take and how much detail would need to go in to filming and editing. As there were several stages within the planning and research area, I feel I should have set myself deadlines and made a timetable for when I was going to be doing what to ensure I had everything organised and everything would be easily achievable. Time management is a major detail I will pay attention to in the music video project as it can have an impact on the outcome of the project. 

Research in to the Music Video Industry

Question 5

What have you learnt from completing this task? Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing your advanced portfolio, do you think?

From completing this task, I have learnt how useful research and planning is so you know exactly what you are doing. I have also learnt how to operate the video camera and how to use the editing programme which will be extremely significant when completing my advanced portfolio as I feel confident with what I am doing.

Question 4

How successful was your music video? Please identify what worked well, and with hind sight, what would you improve/ do differently?

I think our research and planning worked well in the process of creating our music video as we had storyboarded the whole music video and identified all the camera shots/angles/movements, costumes and where they were shot. Therefore our music video looked very similar to the original due to the time and detail we put in to this section.

However, due to us spending a lot of our time on research and planning, we didn't leave enough time for filming and editing. We underestimated how long this would take by quite a lot. Therefore we joined a larger group. To improve next time I would create a timetable and give myself deadlines so I would have sufficient time to complete each task.

As a result of poor time management and poor coordination between the two groups our music video wasn't fully completed. We definitely needed more time for editing which was made harder by the lack of communication we had with the other big group. I have learnt from this that making a final schedule of when and how we are going to do everything by would be the most effective solution.

Question 3

Did you encounter any difficulties? If so, what were they and how did you over come them?

We encountered quite a few difficulties when using the video camera as this was the first time anyone in our group had used one, so no one was very familiar with the device and how to use it properly. This resulted in us losing some of our footage while trying to use the "playback" option. To overcome this difficulty we re-filmed the footage on an iPhone. However, unfortunately this footage was of a lower quality. Next time, we will be more familiar with the camera and how to operate it so hopefully this won't happen again.


Another issue was when we tried converting the footage onto the mac, the file format wasn't correct. This was because we were saving them into the wrong area so all we had to so was re upload them and save them onto final cut pro to make the files valid to use.


The final difficulty we encountered was our time management and not realising how much time it takes to cut and edit the footage. As this was our first time in creating a music video, we also underestimated the timing of how long it would actually take to get everyone together to film all the different scenes. In order to allow time for editing we joined with the other group to split the work load but also gain more cast members to fill gaps in the scene. By working collaboratively with the other group, it was much easier to get shooting done quicker and understand what needed editing and who would do what.

Question 2

What technology did you use to complete the task and how did you use it?

Video Camera:

This was the key of technology that we used to film our actual music video as it aloud us to film, transfer to the mac and then edit. Once we had established how to use the camera it was easier to use different camera shots and movements such as zoom. Mostly we just used steady cam but on occasion we moved around with it to get different angles.

iPhone:

We decided to use an iPhone instead of a video camera in the final tennis court scene due to the weight of the device and being able to move it around more freely. However, by doing this we made our video look less professional as it was harder to control the camera and keep a steady hand so the video is slightly wobbly. Although the video camera would've been the more suitable option to film some our scenes, the IPhones' camera quality and zoom maintained the quality of each shot.

Mac:

The IMac was used for the final, editing section of finishing our music video. We used this for editing as it has the editing software 'final cut pro'.
Cutting the videos and aligning each section was fairly simple, however matching the lip syncing within the video with the music was very difficult and we had to render a lot of sections which took up a lot of time.

Question 1

What have you learnt about the importance of research and planning?

Research and planning was very important in the creation of our music video. Research and planning enabled us to decide as a group what genre would be best for the music video we were going to replicate. We did this by examining various music videos by looking at the pace of cuts and mise en scene to make our final decision . We also made sure that all the music videos we were researching were set in schools as this would be the most easily accessible location for us.

We finally agreed on the song 'Fancy' by Iggy Azalea and Charlie XCX as it was appropriate casting wise and had fairly similar locations to what we already had as it is set in a school. This would enable us to make it as similar to the original as possible. To do this we were limited to 1 minute and 30 seconds, therefore we divided up into pairs to look at a 30 second section each. This was very effective as it was time efficient and it also meant that we would get more precise recordings of each camera angle and movement and what is happening in the scene at different times; regarding mise en scene and body language. This was an important stage of creating our music video as it was basically a storyboard for our music video that we could follow and made it a lot easier and precise when we went to start filming ours.

The final stage was planning. This was useful process as it gave the whole group more confidence about the organisation of filming time and what everyone was doing and when. When we planned we probably should've considered a few more things such as an extra camera as ours didn't charge overnight. I will carry this kind of planning experience and factors that we did not plan for when I produce my music video.

Note To Moderator

Dear Moderator,

My brief for AS media coursework was to produce a front cover, contents page and double page spread for a music magazine. I chose to do the genre of R&B music for my magazine, with a target audience of both genders in the age group of 16 to 24 year olds. I have organised the posts from my blog into labels in order to help you navigate through the work easily. 

Yours sincerely,

Comparisons of Magazines

Front Cover -

Masthead - 

On my magazine's front cover I decided to follow and develop the main codes and conventions. From my research and analysis of R&B magazines, I realised that they all follow a pattern of bold, simple mastheads that stand out and are clearly noticeable, therefore I also did this to follow the codes and conventions. Magazines do this to show off the title of the magazine and use it as a form of advertising and a sort of logo for the magazine, so if you see it somewhere you will know it is that specific magazine. This is why it has to be bold and stand out so it is easily recognasiable to the reader.  I also used codes and conventions of R&B themed magazines by having part of the masthead covered by the image and the masthead being the largest text on the front cover so readers can instantly tell what the magazine is and who it is targeted at. However, I challenged the codes and conventions by my choice of using the colour purple as the majority of mastheads I had seen were red. I chose the colour purple as I thought it would be suitable as it isn't a gender specific colour as my magazines is targeted at both genderes between the ages of 16-24. I also chose the colour purple as it has connotations with wealth and power which would reflect the R&B industry and the artists my magazines features. I then decided on using the colour grey instead of white

Colour Scheme -

The colour scheme I decided to use for my magazine uses, develops and challenges the codes and conventions of R&B magazines as the majority of R&B magazines I have seen have been red, white and black. However, I did not want to follow this colour scheme as I felt it was too predictable and is used too much. Therefore I developed this code and convention by sticking with the colour black due to it being a dominant colour that stands out and can be used to outline or emphasis text. I decided to challenge code and conventions by using the colour grey for the background instead of black or white which are the conventional colours to use for a background. I also chose to use the colour purple instead of red as it has connotations with wealth and power which would reflect the R&B industry and the artists my magazines features.

Main Image -

The main image I decided to use for my magazine takes up most of the whole front cover and is a mid-shot of the artist. The image is large so it stands out and readers can instantly identify what genre the magazine is by the artist. By doing this I am following and developing the codes and conventions of a magazine by putting a popular person from the industry on the front cover as the image will catch readers eye's and make them want to pick up and read the magazine. The image is clear and the aritst is making direct eye contact with the reader so it feels like they are directly looking at eachother. I also added a slight shadow to the image to emphasise it.

Font Sizes -

I have followed and developed the codes and conventions of magazines by having a variety of font sizes on the front cover of my magazine - with the largest being the masthead, then cover line and then the pugs. The masthead and cover line are the largest and boldest as they are the main focus of the magazine and what I want the reader to look like. However, I have challenged  the codes and conventions by not having loads of pugs/stories and the majority not in bold on my front cover as I wanted my magazine to have a more simplistic look and wanted the main focus to be the image, masthead and cover story.

Barcode, Price & Website -

I followed and developed the codes and conventions of magazines by including a barcode. However, I developed the code and convention by adding a price and website. The barcode is important as it has to be scanned to be sold to a customer and by labelling the price on it, it makes it easily identifable and accesible for reader. I also added the website as a form of advertising as the majority of people who pick up the magazine will look at the barcode to see the price of how much it is and then they will instantly see the website aswell. 

Cover Line - 

My magazine follows and develops the codes and conventions of magazines as it includes a coverline. I used a coverline as it tells the reader what the main story of the magazine is - this means readers can identify what genre of music the magazine is and whether they are interested in it or not. However, my coverline challenges the codes and conventions of magazines as coverlines usually go horizontally across the magazine, whereas I decided to have mine going vertically down the page. I also added a star and used a different colour on the word "My" to emphasise what the coverline is saying and how the artist is making music "his" way. 

Contents Page - 

Main Image -

I have followed and developed the codes and conventions of magazines by the main and largest image on the page being the cover story and artist from the front cover. I developed it by having a large, bold page number next to it so readers that are buying the magazine due to the artist on the front won't have to flick through the magazine for ages trying to find the cover story.



Editor's Note - 

I have followed and developed the codes and conventions of magazines by including an editor's note. However, the R&B magazines I have analysed and looked at have not included editor's notes, therefore I am challenging the codes and conventions of this particular genre. I wanted to include a note from the editor in my magazine as I feel this gives the magazine a personal touch and makes the reader feel as if they have more of a connection with the magazine's editor, feeling more valued as a customer.



Colour Scheme - 

I have followed and developed the codes and conventions of magazines by following the same colour scheme from the front cover to show continuity through my magazine. However my magazine challenges the codes and conventions of R&B magazines as my house style is purple, grey and black which is an unusual colour scheme for an R&B magazine. I chose these colours as I didn't think they were gender specific and would appeal to both genders which my magazine is targeted at.



Contents - 

I have followed and developed the codes and conventions of magazines by including a section in my magazine with a list of contents. I felt this was important as it enables the reader to easily identify what page the main stories are on. I have also layed out the contents in a coventional way with the page numbers on the left then a title of the story and a sentence underneath further describing the story. However, I have challenged the codes and conventions of magazines by heading my contents page with "features" rather than "contents". I decided to do this as I thought it fits my genre of R&B music better and would be more appealing to myyoung target audience of 16-24 year olds.


Picture of Front Cover - 

I have followed and develped the codes and conventions of magazines by including a picture of the front cover on the contents page. I decided to follow this code and convention as I think it gives a sense of continuity and as a form of advertising as when the reader goes to the contents page, they are reminded of the front cover and the magazine's bold masthead.

Double Page Spread - 

Main Image - 

I have followed the codes and conventions of magazines by including a large picture of the artist the story is about. I chose the mid shot of Ano directly looking at the reader with his arms by his side and his chin slightly tilted in the air as I think it shows his dominance and success within the industry and that he doesn't have to do anything extravagant to get noticed. I have challenged the codes and conventions of R&B magazines as usually the image takes up one whole page as you can see in the example above. However, I deicded I wanted my image to be featured with the text which is why I placed the image underneath the text. This way it does not take away from the story but connects the artist and the story together. 

Pull Quotes - 

I have followed and developed the codes and conventions of magazine by including a large pull quote. However, I have challenged the codes and conventions of magazines as pull quotes are usually put in the middle of the article. Whereas, I decided I wanted my pull quote to be more significant so I put it at the top of the story next to the title of the article. The pull quote that I chose is very intriguing and will make the reader want to find out what the article is about, which is why I decided to challenge the codes and conventions in this way. 

Text -

I have followed and developed the codes and conventions of magazines by including a double page spread made up of text in my magazine. I have also followed codes and conventions of magazines by using size 12 font for my text which is a common size to use - it is not too small that the reader struggles to read it, but not too large that it takes up too much space. I have also sectioned my text in to 4, equal width columns so the text looks organised and appealing to the eye to read. However, I have challenged the codes and conventions of magazine by highlighting the key/interesting points Ano says in his interview in bold so they stand out to the reader. 

Stand First -

I have followed and developed the codes and conventions of magazines by including a standfirst. I decided to include this as I feel it gives an introduction to the double page spread and gives a bried overview of what the story is going to be about. This is effective for people who don't know who the artist is and gives them and idea of what they are going to be reading about. 

Cover Line - 

I have followed the codes and conventions of magazines by including a title to my double page spread. I have showed continuity by using the same font and style from my front cover so it is easily recognisable as the cover story when readers see this page of the magazine.

Font Changes To Double Page Spread

As I changed the font for the cover story, I am also changing it on the double page spread to show continuity throughout the magazine.

Font Changes To Front Cover

After looking at my front cover again, I decided to play around with the font for the main cover story "Ano - Making Music My Way". I then decided I preferred the second magazine with the font "Basic Sans Heay SF". 

Second Draft Of Double Page Spread

Feedback Between Two Final Front Cover Designs

Magazine One

 Magazine Two

I have had a hard decision deciding whether to keep the two pugs saying "Tyga" and "Trey Songz" as I wasn't sure if they are necessary and make the page look too overcrowded. However without them I wasn't sure if the page looked too plain, but after analysing a number of R&B magazines, I found simplicity was a trend. 

Therefore I decided to ask for feedback on the two magazine front covers and to see what potential R&B magazine buyers would prefer. The question I proposed to every person was: 

I then sent them a picture of both magazome front covers. The feedback I recieved was:

Jess, aged 17

Chloe, aged 17 

Amber, aged 16 

Caitlin, aged 17 

Myles, aged 16

Frank, aged 16

My feedback has shown that magazine 1 defnitely proves to be the most popular and people don't find the page to be overcrowded. 

Third Draft Of Front Cover

Second Draft Of Front Cover

First Draft Of Double Page Spread

First Draft of Contents Page

This is my first draft of my contents page. I followed the colour scheme of purple, black white and grey from my front cover to show continuity throughout the magazine. However, after comparing this contents page to the front cover, I feel that this page looks bolder and is more eye catching than my front cover - mainly I think due to the masthead. Therefore, I have decided that I am going to swap the two mastheads round, using the bigger bolder one on the front cover to make it stand out more. I have also sectioned the text in to boxes to separate the text and make it easier to read and more appealing to the eye (as I found through my research that this a desire for magazines.)

First Draft of Front Cover

This is my first draft of the front cover. I decided to use a simplistic layout because after analysing a lot of R&B magazines, I found this was a common and popular trend. For my final magazine, I will continue to make the image the main focus on the front cover - taking up a vast majority of the right hand side of the page. I also like the top strip on the top of the magazine as I think it makes it look professional and states the genre of the music, this is another idea I would like to take forward to my final draft. Next draft, I would like to experiment with a different colour scheme so I can decide which one I prefer and think suits the R&B genre best. Next time I will ensure that the whole image is on the page as in this one part of Ano's arm has been slightly cropped off. I will also move the cover line slightly to the right so it is not so on the edge of the page.

Test Shots

This image would be best suited to a double page spread as Taku's facial expression shows her emotion very clearly - she is very happy and smiley. As this image is a mid shot, it allows us to see her body language which is very relaxed due to her hands in her pockets. I think this image would appeal to my target audience of 16-24 year olds as it is not gender specific and push away any potential readers. Also, the use of the mid shot is effective as it shows the image in more detail as it is closer up than a long shot, however it still shows enough of the person to feel as if they were looking at the persons whole body. This is an approximation of how you would see a person in the flesh if you were having a proper conversation as you wouldn't be paying attention to the lower part of their body, so that part of the picture is unnecessary. I also chose a mid shot as it allows room for gestures as shown in my image of Taku's hand in her pocket. 

I think this image would be best suited to a front cover as the subject is looking directly at the camera. The direct contact draws in the audience to want to purchase the magazine as well as clearly identify who the subject is, their pose, body language and facial expression.  The use of the mid shot is effective as it shows the image in more detail as it is closer up than a long shot, however it still shows enough of the person to feel as if they were looking at the persons whole body. This is an approximation of how you would see a person in the flesh if you were having a proper conversation as you wouldn't be paying attention to the lower part of their body, so that part of the picture is unnecessary. I also chose a mid shot as it allows room for gestures as shown in my image of Anos hand's being in front of him.

Layout Designs

Front Cover

This is a simple layout of how I am planing to layout the front cover of my magazine. It shows how I will make the Image the biggest part of the front cover and where I will place everything around in on the page.

Contents Page

This is a simple layout of my contents page as I want the page numbers and listings to be the main focus as it is a contents page. Everything else on the page will be featured around the listings such as upcoming events and editors note. This is not the final layout of my conents page because when I start creating the magazine, I will change things around to follow the style of my front cover.

Double Page Spread

This is a simple layout of my double page spread. After analysising R&B magazines, I felt there was a common theme of simplicity, therefore I tried to show this with my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I chose this layout as I think it is easy to navigate around the text and the pull quotes and image pulls apart the text and makes it easier and more appealing to read.
