Pre-Production Planning

 

Planning:

EDITION ONE:

style: based on peoples stories and experiences with technology

possible locations include: the photography room (the backdrops), in public.

possible photos: I intend of taking photographs of the models talking to each other while one the phone, the models looking at the camera etc.

costume: I intend of having my models wear whatever they wish with some guide from myself. the reason for this is to portray to the audience that you don't have to be a particular person to experience some kind of abuse online. 

EDITION TWO:

Style: quite a dark eerie magazine highlighting the stories of the publics online experiences.

Possible Locations include: on a bench, in a park, in the city, down an ally, in school etc.

Possible photos: a MacBook displaying an image of different social media.

costume: I intend of having my models wear whatever they wish with some guide from myself. the reason for this is to portray to the audience that you don't have to be a particular person to experience some kind of abuse online. 

pose: model will be posed in a direct manner, they will be look straight down the lens of the camera (mode of address) this will indicate that the model is telling their story directly to the readers. 

 

the magazine as a minimum will have four original images across the front cover and contents pages. 

A different use of mise-en-scene for each cover.

Representation of at least two different social groups: for the first edition this will be female, they will be wearing 'stereotypical' feminine clothes and poses. And for the second edition men will be represented on the front cover. 

on both front covers and contents pages there will be a call to action to the website. to do this they will include phrases like "to read more on...head over to our website" etc. 

 

Magazine name: Ciao 

The masthead will have quite basic typography, the main font for both my magazines will be 'Eras Demi ITC'. I chose this font as I've seen very similar in other magazines while doing my research. 

I intent so show a clear sense of branding on both the editions, the logo will be placed on the left side of the front cover making it easier to be stacked if the edition were to be stacked along with other magazines. 

Different articles/cover lines for the first edition:

• "Is you Alexa listening all the time?"
• "is the government really watching through your phone camera?"
• "can apple really improve the iPhone 13?"

different articles/cover lines for the second edition:

• "my best friend catfished me"
• "I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me through Facebook"
