WEEK 11 PRODUCTION DIARY

This week I started working on the front cover of my final production (music magazine). I used the Adobe Photoshop software to work on this product. I came up with the title (masthead) Vertical because its connotations suit the genre of the music magazine. I am not quite satisfied with the work I have done so far on my fornt cover because it doesn't look really professional. However, I believe that the them and the range of fonts I used are appropriate, I will however have to add more cover lines on the page and arrange the texts properly.

WEEK 10 PRODUCTION DIARY

ANALYSING THE MISE-EN-SCENE OF A MUSIC MAGAZINE'S FRONT COVER

UPDATE

YESSSS!!!! Miley is back again with WRECKING BALL!!.. This time its a live performance on the stage of The British X Factor... At the mention of Wrecking Ball everyone definitely expected a nude Miley coming on stage with all the sexual posture... Welll everyone was disapointed... There was no nudity as she wore a platinum dress, no sexually attractive signs...... which got me thinking???.. hAS MILEY GONE BACK TO HER OLD SELF?HANNAH MONTANA?... OR did she do that on purpose to shock the world??

ANALYSING THE MISE-EN-SCENE OF THE PARLOUR SCENE IN THE MOVIE PSYCHO

The most successful mise-en-scene in this scene is the dark cloud. This is a pathetic fallacy which connotes horror and evil as evil things mostly happen when it is dark. In addition to that, Norman walking under this dark cloud from his mother's part of the property to his connotes that he is a carier/representative of evil as the cloud which is the evil is over him.

The way in which the dark cloud reveals Norman's character is similar to the connotation of the crow in his palour. Just like a dark cloud, a crow represents evil but most importantly it represents death. So the presence of the crow in the scene also suggests that Norman is evil but also that he holds the power of death. These two mise-en-scene forshadow the death of Marion.

FLAT PLAN FOR MY FINAL PRODUCTION

This is my flat plan for my final production( music magazine) front cover and contents page.

FLATPLAN:-FIRST STAGE

 

 

This is the first stage of my flatplan for my final production (music magazine). I am quite satisfied with it as it is well organised. However, I misght make some changes to it when creating my final product as my taste might change.

WEEK 9 PRODUCTION DIARY

 This week, I took the mock which was quite easy and straight forward. In the mock I created the flatplan for my final production (music magazine), analysed the results I've had so far with regards to reasearch and planning for my final production and stated some ideas I might change. I believe that my flat plan was genuine and will possibly be what I will use to create my final production because I am happy with it. However, I might change the genre of the music magazine I wish to create from RnB and Rap genre to only the Rap genre because it is easier to do a magazine with only one specific genre.I also created the moodboard using Blitslide so that I can upload it on my blog. At first I wanted to use Glogster but it proved difficult to use so I switched to Biteslide.  On my moodboard are ideas of how I want my final production to look like, which is where I want the images to be, how I want everything to be represented and also ideas of the Masthead. This whole week has been a productive week and I believe that I am on target, I must however learn to use Glogster as it might be important in another production.

Update

Whilst watching these two music videos, I noticed the differences between them. I noticed that the first was much more wild which shows the alter ego of Nicki Minaj, the second is much more sentimental which connotes what she is going through at that time. I researched the amount of views each had and found out that the first had 798,652 views whilst the second had 309,765 views. The statistics of their views shows that people prefer when rap musicians sing dancehall songs than when they sing sentimental songs. However, Nicki Minaj is highly commended for her excellent use of alter ego as she switches from different music genres but still instill rap essence into it. If I am ever going to do a music video I will do a music video which has diffent sentiments but has rap essence.

UPDATE

It seems like the music industry is indeed good at bringing the negative personality out of stars we never thought had one. First it was Miley whose new videos 'Wrecking ball' and 'We won't Stop' shocked the world due to its contents, Miley has now turned from the little Disney star we all knew to a great nude star. However another star that caught my attention today was Rihanna, she hasn't always been known as the Godly or saint type but neither has she been known to be posing nude for magazine covers. here are her pictures I came across and a new November magazine issue with Miley Cyrus on its front cover,... and yes as you thought the word 'sex' is definitely on that cover.

Miley and Rihanna should definitely hang out..
but..... WHAT IS THE HOLLYWOOD(AMERICAN)MEDIA TURNING INTO??!!!!
