Magazine cover


Planning:

1) Image result for times magazine cover      Image result for times magazine cover    Image result for times magazine cover

2) I will use my model to be in the middle and will be covering some parts of the logo, just like most of the people that are on the front page of the cover.

3)  " Gurpreet Hakim", "out with the old in with the new" 



Publication to analysis:


1) 



2) I did try to imitate the other magazine covers but I also included other things such as "exclusive interview" at the bottom of the page to make it seem as though it is a real magazine just like real magazines do when they try to sell the magazine.

3) When compared it to professional and actual Times magazine covers, the placement of the model is how the magazine would do it however the font used isn't the fonts they use. Making it harder to pass off as a real magazine cover.

4) The strongest aspect of my work would be the borders and logo looking like the actual Times magazine template as it has the same colour and same size.

5) The writing and captions, this makes the magazine look less professional and also the captions look the same whereas in Times Magazine wouldn't be like that.

6) I would try to change the colour palette and use less lighting so that if I want to include captions at the bottom, it would be much easier to see compared to if I try doing it now. Also, I would change the captions and writing to make it seem more professional and include more. I would also include the  "names" of the writers next to the caption to show that specific individual wrote that story.

Mise en Scene analysis

Image
 Mise en scene analysis In this still image you see a man in a bus. The costume the man is wearing a black jacket, the colour black represented mystery, evil and death which can foreshadow what happens later to the man clarifying the shocked look on his face. In the image, the lighting is bright however as you move further away from the man it becomes blurry and harder to see. The blurring could link to how the character feels confused and astonished. The actor  in the image has a frightened and terrified expression on his face showing that he is terrified and is a state of panic and fear and also he is in a hunched position so that he can be avoid being seen which shows that he is uneasy, timid and reserved.  It looks like the character has dark rings underneath his eyes which could be the result of make-up which shows how the character is restless and is in a state of discomfort and uneasiness. The prop the character is holding is a pink jacket which he uses to hide and c

Oh Comely Industry 1) Iceberg was set up because they believe in the power of the printed word and of the owners believes that lots of magazines have given up on their readers. 2) The mission statement for Iceberg is: It's all about the audience.

News Story 3 1 ) https://www.dailymail.news.uk/news/article-6232587/Knifeman-goes-rampage-stabs-commuters-east-London-train.html Knifeman 'goes on the rampage' on London train and stabs one person putting Hackney Central station on lockdown. 2)   3) I would consider this news story hard news as hard news tends to talk about politics, war , economics and crime and this would be considered crime. Also, the website uses a factual approach in which they explain the events and what happened . This also talks about a serious topic which is a knife man going on rampage which causing three people to be hurt and because of this I would consider this hard news. 4) This might appeal to an audience as it uses Familiarity and Surprise. Familiarity is used as it the incident occurred in the Hackney which is in the UK causing the audience who are predominantly UK readers to be effected more as it is closer to them. Surprise is used as this incident is indeed a surprise whic
