AS Media

Social media question

I decided to use a variety of different social media websites to ask the question, 'what features would you desire to see on a dance music magazine?'. I posted this question on my twitter, snapchat, Instagram, facebook and I message accounts in order to recieve answers from my friends and family who use some of the social networking websites that I have posted the question on. I thought that this method would be the best way to find out feedback.

Music Magazine Voice Thread Analysis (Indie genre)

I made this voice thread when I had decided to use Indie as my genre for my music magazine, I then changed my mind and decided to use dance as my genre. I still thought it would be helpful to leave this voice thread on my blog anyway in order to help me analyse a magazine cover in the future.

Pose research

- 1)assume a particular position in order to be photographed, painted, or drawn.
These are the two definitions of, 'pose', that I found off Google dictionary:
1) Assume a particular position in order to be photographed, painted, or drawn.
1. 2) A way of standing or sitting, especially in order to be photographed, painted, or drawn.
  
  "photographs of boxers in ferocious poses"
  
  synonyms: posture, position, stance, attitude, bearing
  
  "a photograph of a glamorous brunette in a sexy pose"
I am going to try to use different poses for some of the shots that I am going to include in my magazine. Here are some images of some of the poses in which I think that I am going to try and apply in my own shots:

I think both hands over the mouth looks successful as a shot, however when I get my model to do this action she will look morbid in comparison to the woman on this picture because I am going to apply dark makeup to her eye area.

I thought that images of a models side profile looks professional and interesting as a shot so I also decided to use this pose.

I like the effect of one hand holding hair, I may possibly use this pose for one of my shots.

Weather viability to check viability of photo shoot

I am considering to take one of my images for my contents page outside therefor I intend to carry out a weather check. I am planning to take the shot on the 17th of december therefor to check the weather I used the weather app on my phone and as you can see on the screenshot below its is predicted to rain, so am going to make sure my model is dresses correctly for the weather condition in which they will be modelling in for example, coat, hat, warm clothes. In order to not damage the camera I am going to be using an umbrella to cover it fully. As the camera will be strapped around my neck I'm sure i will be able to manage to take the shots successfully with one hand.

Serif post

Sans

Serif
The following two images represent the sans and serif fonts. These two different fonts are used in magazines. Sans fonts are mostly used for cover lines and titles on the other hand serif fonts are mostly used for large chunks of text as the text style is much easier to read for target audiences. Sans fonts are plain and bold and do not have any curls on the rim of the letters whereas serif fonts are easier to read as the do have little curls on the ends of the letters, as you can see from the image above. Personally I think that I am going to use a sans font for my cover lines and titles and serif fonts for my large chunks of text because I think this will make my magazine appear professional and will make the text easier to read for my target audience.
