Bon Jovi

This picture is from Bon Jovi's album Lost Highway. The image in the middle is very powerful and accurate to the title of the album. This is because it is a highway is a big long strech of road running along a contry side or other road, this picture works very well because it is a long strech or road and also it get smaller whilst going away which creates a very good look. The photo has been taken whilst the car was moving i really like the effect that this makes because it shows that the highway is being used and that is what they are built for. Also the car is not very tidy, i feel like this repersents the band because they are not like a normal band and thay they are different and original.

These are my two final drafts for my practice task college magazine. I have chosen two colours for my colour scheme these are yellow and green. I feel i have used both of these colours in the front page and the content page. I really like these two pages but i prefer the front cover, this is because it stands out more and i feel that the content page looks a bit bland in the background.

Second Draft

This is my second draft of my content page. I have added two images to the page.

Music Magazine Pratice Task

First draft of my contet page. I am going to add an image in with what i have now.

This is my final copy of the front cover.

Questionnaire analysis

From my audience questionnaire I found out what party most of the pupils vote for with is Labour. I also found out what hobbies some pupils are interested in which puts them in certain categories. Also you can put people in categories by seeing if they buy the same brands when they go shopping, I made a question with this in it which was, ‘’ Do you buy the same brands every time you go to the supermarket? ‘’ This showed me what categories these people go into. I thought that my questionnaire was very successful because it showed me what people were like.

Pratice Task College Magazine.

I went out with a camera and took photographs of people for my pratice college magazine task. I had to do a mid close up shot, which is basically from the shoulders up. I took pictures of people looking away but i found that the best angle was the model looking directly into the camera. I used this technique for most shots but i occasionally made them look away.

Media Presentation

Ideology

' Ideology is a difficult - but important - concept to grasp. Simply put, it is the ideas behind a media text, the secret (or sometimes not-so secret) agenda of its producers. It is important to be able to identify the different ideological discourses that may be present in even an apparently simple photograph.
In sociological terms, ideology is a body of ideas or set of beliefs that underpins a process or institution and leads to social relations. These sets of beliefs are those held by groups within society, and the prevalent ones are those held by the ruling/dominant groups.'
