Magazine practical task planning

-
'Paper' magazine doesn't have a main flash, the only writing present on the cover is the magazine name, the celebrity name and one or two words in smaller print under the celebrities name that usually links/refers to the star in some way. For example, underneath RuPaul's name 'Pride' is written and for Kim Kardashian it's 'Break The Internet' because she is usually known for posting certain images on social media that causes quite a buzz amongst people.

For my magazine cover, I will have my friend model and will have her name written at the bottom. As my model is an 'artsy' and 'creative' person I will choose to have one word that represents her as a whole. 

Here are a list of words that I might use: 

- Creativity 
- Mastery 
- Virtuosity 
- Flair 
- Finesse  ( this is what I most likely will use )
- Artistry

My model will be wearing enough make up that would be noticeable to the viewers, her make up won't be too exaggerated but will stand out. She will be wearing simple every day clothing and we will have her model for us in the drama studio where we can experiment with the different coloured lighting. The multi-coloured lighting will help create a sense of creativity and art. The curtains will be drawn so that the colours are the only thing that help accentuate her features. Most of the shots would be a medium close up or close up but I feel like having a long shot or medium shot will work in adding that sense of creativity 'Paper' magazine usually has. 

Paper magazine have the season and location and year written, so for my magazine I will write London in the top left hand corner and on the right hand corner I will write Spring 2018.

Semiotics- Icon, Index and Symbol

1) Find three examples for each: icon, index and symbol. Provide images or links. 2) Why are icons and indexes so important in media texts? Icons are important because they provide the consumers with a greater understanding as to what the text is trying to convey. It would be difficult for the audience to understand or to relate to whatever is being conveyed if there weren't any icons. Indexes are significant too because they allow the audience to make links with other things because indexes give an implied sign allowing the audience to infer their own meaning. Without indexes it would be harder to create texts for the producer because it wouldn't allow the audience to have a deeper understanding of what is being conveyed. 3) Why might global brands try and avoid symbols in their advertising and marketing? Global brands try avoiding the use of symbols because their advertising can often be misinterpreted. Some symbols could mean different things...

OSP: Paul Gilroy - Diasporic identity

Go to our Media Factsheet archive on the Media Shared drive and open Factsheet 170: Gilroy – Ethnicity and Postcolonial Theory . Our Media Factsheet archive is on the Media Shared drive: M:\Resources\A Level\Media Factsheets Read the Factsheet and complete the following questions/tasks: 1) How does Gilroy suggest racial identities are constructed? Gilroy argues that racial identities are historically constructed, formed by civilisation, slavery, nationalist philosophies and consumer capitalism.  ‘Race’ [is not] the eternal cause of racism [but is] its complex, unstable product. I should probably emphasise at this point that neither race nor racism are the exclusive historical property of the minorities who are their primary victims. (Gilroy, 2004) Gilroy is saying that racism isn’t caused by race, racism causes race. Racism is not caused by the clash of two or more races – racism is not a natural phenomenon 2) What does Gilroy sugge...
