The Name For Our Magazine!!!

We have decided on a name for our magazine through a servey, there were two different names that we liked, therefore we asked our media group and some other people who were interested in the genres of music our magazine.

The two choices were AMPLIFIED or RIOT!.

We then each chose oir favourite and then passed it round the class.

so.... The name of our magazine is...

RIOT!

This name is inspired by gigs. As the majority of people that like the kinds of music we shall be basing our magazine around attend gigs, at these gigs, things can get very cramped and the crowd mosh causing chaos and violence.

Photo Shoot- Abandoned house.

These are the photo's that sian will be using for her magazine, there are two of each photos showing how she has edited them to make them look more professional.

Pictures Me and Sian shall be using.

As me and Sian are music lovers, we tend to go to gigs quite often, therefore taking pictures. We feel that now is the perfect time to use these photos for our contents page.

Things to consider when making the contents page

When making the contents page we need to keep the conventions going from the OFC to the DPS.

• Keep the colour scheme the same from the front with a maximum of 3 main colours.
• Images used to keep the reader interested.
• Different pages under different sup-headings to make the contents easy to follow.
• still make sure that black is the base colour.
• highlight the things featured on the front cover.
• if we decide to keep to following kerrang's ideas then make sure that there is the editors comment on this page.
• in most magazines there is a page about winning 'goodies' make sure we keep to these conventions.

Risk assessment

Although doing a risk assessment seems unnecessary for a magazine photo shoot this would be done by professionals in this business.

As our location is a derelict building, there are many risks we need to take in consideration:

• The house is half burnt down therefore unstable.
• Rubble is all over the floor making it uneven and unsafe.
• many tripping hazards.
• unstable floor on the top floor (half is burnt away.)
• glass and nails are on the floor in places making it dangerous.

When taking the photo's we will have to ensure we are being careful not to injure ourselves by watching where we are walking and wearing sensible shoes and clothes to make sure we are unharmed.

Recce

As me and Sian are working together, we had to plan where we are going to be taking the pictures. Also at the same time having to do a risk assesment on the locations. Here is where we are going to be taking the pictures.

The derelict building in which we are taking the pictures portrayed the bands genre well as in the media rock music is shown as messy and run down where as pop music has to be perfect.
