Interview 2

Interview 1

Mood Board S


I have chosen the sub genre pop/rock to focus my magazine on. I have chosen a darker side but still has a strong feminine image. The images i have chosen reflect what the audience to that style of band may wear and also the different pieces of location and style a band in that genre may choose to promote their image with. The style mostly focuses on a sense of gothic romance and a lot of reds and blacks are used. the guitar and microphone shows the main instruments a band with that style of genre may use.

Mood Board C


I have chosen to focus my magazine on the sub genre indie punk I can tell from the pictures that i have used that in the spare time playing music skating and bmxing are key activities. The style of skinny jeans, hats, carrying skateboards and converse are what makes the sub genre identifiable.

Mood Board G

I have chosen the sub-genre Emo from Indie to base my magazine on the pictures in the mood board I have created best represent the sub genre.
From this I have learnt that my demographic audience prefer the heavier sound of the Indie genre for example My Chemical Romance and My Passion.
The colour scheme on the images is generally quite dark indicating that the genre is dark gives a sense of suclusion, depression and mystery.
Their physical image seems to play a major part in their lives for example in the two self images featured on the mood board hair colour, make-up even on the male seem to be dramtic as how they come across as people in society also means alot to them

Introduction

In our Media AS Foundation Production we aim to create a music magazine. We have decided to create a magazine in which will have three different additions. The certain genre will be Indie and each addition of the magazine will focus on a specific sub-genre of Indie.
E.g. one of the issues will focus purely on Indie Skate
We have decided to focus our magazine on the Indie Genre as it covers such a wide range of material and has something that will appeal to everyone
