Pre-Production 2 Photo

Alan Carr: TV Buzz

Compared to TV Buzz, the shoots are more fun and say more, literally instead of with connotations. He is wearing clothes to suit the theme, compared to showing off elegant clothes that are usually promoted in the magazine.

These photos from Fabulous magazine are simple and classy, with no props or elaborate backdrops. The colours have strong connotations and the lighting is an important feature in the photo.

Textual Analysis 2

This is an issue of Fabulous magazine, similar to the pre production I will create. 

• The masthead is clear and goes over the top of the main star. This clearly shows the magazine's name and gives it it's identity. 
• There are very few puffs/cover lines and most of which link in with the main star of the magazine. There are then some unrelated puffs that do not take any attention away from the main image, but still engage and inform the audience. 
• There is no barcode or price, because it is a free magazine, however there is, in very small print a brief description of what the magazine is and where it comes from, plus some adjectives to draw audiences in: 'Britain's Biggest Glossy'
• The main image is an extreme close up of the stars face, and he is looking away instead of making eye contact with the audience. The colour of the magazine makes him look a little sad and depressed and his expressions show this too. 
• The main cover line is a quote from the star, instead of a phrase to draw the audience in. This is a little bit different from typical cover lines, but it is effective nonetheless. It is a brief introduction of what is to come from the interview and creates another reason for the audience to choose this magazine.
• The layout is very organised and clear. There is no overcrowding and there is not too much to look it, making it look classy and simple.

Feliz Navidad.

My pre production 2 front cover should be similar to this. Far more in your face whilst still being classy and not too crowded. It has more puffs and more features to draw the audiences in.

I want my double page spread to be similar, with the main image taken professionally and then some other images showing past events or work...

Upstairs Downstairs Double Page Spread from The Sun's TV Buzz Magazine...

Need to reshoot...

Attempt at my first pre production. Will probably change, although some features will remain...

This is the double page spread of a TV Magazine and I would like mine to be similar...

There is predominantly only one main image and the star is making eye contact. There are then surrounding images to support the article, and to provide information about upcoming TV, which is the aim of the magazine. 

The theme of this magazine is clearly magic, and mine will be Christmas to could easily incorporate this into my magazine with Christmas. I could do this by fonts, colours and graphics.

Bit of an edit to blur the background and make Alex 'glow' somewhat, to make the picture look more retro/artistic and distinctively different from my first pre production.

Logo for my second pre-production?

My second pre-production will be similar to that of TV Buzz magazine. Although I will not be able to recreate something like this I will be taking photos that are a bit more creative and give off a message. 

The main image dominates the magazine and has not many puffs, although compared to Fabulous magazine, the basis of my Pre Production 1, it is a lot less classy and simplistic. It still looks good and not tacky, but they are two different genres of magazine and I will aim to make my two magazines distinctively different.

Changes to my pre-production:

• Remove the barcode... If it's free why does it need one?!
• Move the puffs closer together so they have an even amount of space between them.

Finished!

Still chance to do my survey, please!!

My first pre-production cover!

I'm really pleased with my first cover. It looks simple and sophisticated, something you would find in a private dentist's practice! ;)

 

 

The puffs don't overshadow the main image too much and instead fill up empty space with appealing snippets of what features in the magazine. The headline has the words 'new' in bold emphasising both the fact the model is new, the year is new and the magazine is new, which ties in with the title 'comtemporary'. The target audience is mainlly female but has some male audiences. All the puffs mainly attract women but some could also attract men and will therefore attract them just as much as women. However the competition to win Westlife tickets is appealing more to women as Westlife's target audience is similar to that of my magazine. Also the cover star, "Reece Smith the model" appeals more to females due to the advertisements he's famous for. The sub headline has words in bold them emphasise the most important words 'ambitions', 'those' and 'on the market' have indivdual affects all of which attract a broad range of people. 

My colour scheme will be black/grey/deep purple.

The theme will be new year.

I couldn't find an image of this week's Fabulous magazine so here's me & my model with it...

I will base my pre-production cover no1 on this magazine. It's simple & sophisticated...

Basic edits! 

If I use this photo I will edit it to lighten it up...

My second pre-production will be based on the 'Fabulous' magazine you get with the Sunday edition of The Sun: 

It is a little more classy and often more real life.
