During the process of planning and taking the images I have really thought about the codes and conventions of pop music magazines which I researched previously. I think my images fit into the codes and conventions of the stereotypical pop music magazine, however have some differences which I believe will act as a USP and therefore be beneficial to the success/popularity of my magazine. The images have been edited to make them look clearer/brighter and more professional/suitable for the young audience to be attracted to. I chose the model to be fairly young herself to make the magazine look more 'pop music' convincing; older people are not seen on magazines for young girls. I have used a wide variety of poses: direct address, winking, smiling and also some comedic poses. This is done to make the images look more engaging and youthful. I have also experimented with shot types: mid shots, close ups and long shots which, again, looks more engaging and interesting.

Media Pre-production Planning: Production Scheduling
My photoshoot will be taking place on the 20th of December 2013 in my friends house. I will be using a plain white wall and possibly the front area of the house which has some stairs (pictures below).
I have chosen to use a white wall of which i will edit in the photographs to look brighter and clearer due to my previous research on pop music magazines all of which use high key lighting and white backgrounds.
Because the majority of the photo's will be taken inside i do not have to worry about the weather etc.
I will be using a canon EOS 700D to take my photo's with. This is my own camera which is very good quality and produces clear outcomes.
I will be styling the model and doing her hair and makeup of which i have planned out below.
I have also scheduled a backup date in case of a forced cancellation. This is to ensure my photo's are taken easily.

Media Pre-production Planning: Mock Ups
This is a brief idea of how i want my magazine to look. I used found images online to create these pages on Photoshop and in design. This process has given me a good idea on the layout, font, colors and text I will use on my actual magazine. This process has also allowed me to develop my skills on Photoshop/in-design and given me a rough idea on how long the magazine will take me to produce. There are many things I like about my mock ups and many things I would like to improve when it comes to making the real thing; both of these are extremely beneficial to the production of my magazine and its outcome.
Media Pre-production Planning: Flat Plans
This is my planned layout for my magazine. This will help me with the production part of the magazine as it will give me a basic foundation for the text and image placement on/in my magazine.

Media Pre-production Planning: Moodboard
This is my moodboard I created with a wide range of found images all relating to the genre of my magazine (pop). This will help me when creating my magazine due to the ideas it will and has given me for my own magazine. The board shows a variety of pop stars/pop bands that I can use within my magazine. It also shows some examples of magazines that share either the same genre or audience as my own magazine.
Overall this has and will help me with the production of my magazine due to the inspiration and information it has given me.

Media Pre-Production Research: Conventions
Research into the conventions of music magazines is very helpful and beneficial to my final product as it gives me detailed information on what i need to include on/in my magazine. I am made aware of the 'musts' for my magazine if I want it to look proffesional and have conventional features. Further understanding of the codes and conventions of magazines can be seen in my post analysis of exisiting.
Media Pre-Production Research: Typical Reader Profile
This is my typical reader profile. It gives an example of the kind of girls that will read my magazine. This has helped me gain more information surrounding the needs of my audience on a more personal level as well as giving me ideas on what to include in/on the magazine. I have also established the psychographic needs of my audience. My audience fit into the group 'aspires' which i have chosen based on my previous and current research.
Media Pre-Production Research: Target Audience Research
Deciding what research methods to take.
After weighing the advantages and disadvantages of all of the methods I have decided to choose the questionnaire method in order to get reliable and accurate results surrounding my target audience. I have chosen this method because it can be easily distributed and the results are clear. I will be handing the questionnaire out to year 7-year 10 girls at my school as well as some young female friends who go to different schools. The questionnaire can be seen in the Prezi below along with some of the results shown through graphs. Although my questionnaire is fairly short I feel i gain enough information I need to help me mould my magazine around my audience.
Target audience research allows me to gain a good insight into the audience of my magazine which is a vital aspect when producing my magazine. To gain accurate information surrounding my audience, I created a questionnaire for young girls aged 9-15 (my target audience) to complete. The graphs give evidence of some results I got that are very beneficial to me as they give me a good understanding of my audience's needs.

Homework
The first image shows a girl on a train gazing out of the window, I took this image in Scotland (I used my phone). I think it connotes purity and fantasy due to the view of the sea and the grey/blue colours used. The girls body language connotes fantasy and thought due to the way she looks like she is day dreaming and possibly mesmerised by the view. The girls pink hair contrasts with the dull colours to make her stand out.
The second image shows a girl with her head out of a car window. I took this image on a journey home with a disposable camera. I think this image has similar connotations to the first image, eg. purity, however I think this image also connotes freedom and happiness due to the way the girls hair is blowing in the wind and the sunset colours shown.
I took this image when walking home from School. It connotes horror, threat, danger and anger shown through the dark colours and lightning. The leafless tree also adds to the spooky look of this image due to the way it stands out over the grey clouds and looks very claw like.
I took this image in my friends garage. The balloon looked slightly ruined and old which connotes
