statement of intent feedback and redraft

 

I plan to make a front cover and double page spread for a motivational influencer who is releasing their new book about going through hard times and how to stay motivated through it. the aim is to inspire young adults and empower them by showcasing what the influencer has done his values and advice.

My target audience is primarily people of the social class of C2DE who like to read celebrity gossip magazines but mainly for the young adult male readers who are interested in growth mental wellbeing and social media.

The front cover will feature an image of the influencer styled to convey confidence and respected. I will use a bold cover lines like 'rewrite your story' and 'the power of positivity' to reflect the themes of the book and what the influencer is about. the masthead will be modern and clean appealing to the audience.

the double page spread will include a few words from the influencer discussing their motivation for writing the book, their personal struggles , and tips for staying focused and resilient. I will use pull quotes subheadings and a sidebar to make the layout modern and to fit the magazine it is going on. I will use casual colours like grey black ands white as they fit the space for motivation ands discipline.

I will use a combination of media codes to construct a positive and aspirational representation. Technical codes like soft lighting and warm tones will be used while close-up camera shots will establish emotional connection and authenticity. The influencer will be styled in casual workout clothing to reinforce their credibility. the narrative will follow a conventional structure of challenge, breakthrough, and success,

overall my magazine will use media language and representation to look into self belief and working hard aligning with the influencers brand and the inspirational message of their new book and what they stand for. 


Redraft:

for my coursework I am making a magazine called 'rise' and my target audience is for people who read celebrity gossip magazine and aimed at C2DE audience . my magazine will include a front page and double page spread which will include a central image of my celebrity influencer who is releasing a new book and my double page spread will link to one of the cover lines on the front page. my magazine will highlight my celebrity influencer by them being the central image on the front page and will show the positive changes they made by using the double page spread to show what they have done in their career. I will use different camera angles such as medium shot, long shot, close-up, medium close-up, low-angle shot and these will communicate to my audience that the celebrity influencer is powerful and shows courage which shows to the target audience that you need to be brave when going through things. costume: they will be wearing sporty and active clothes to show that by distracting yourself  and going gym will keep your mind and body strong.  I will use a modern editing style to show to the audience that it is a new celebrity gossip magazine and talking about influencers which is a new and modern thing.  this will represent positivity by keeping people mindset positive and

Comments for AQA:

  • The candidate has provided a clear statement that is generally appropriate to the brief and targets the audience in a satisfactory way.
  • There is a series of evidence that applies knowledge and understanding of the theoretical framework and media terminology such as media codes and conventions which are suitable to the magazine product

Next steps:

  • You need to give your celebrity gossip magazine a title – considering this is a new magazine you need to think about how you would appeal to a C2DE intended target audience – who else will your front cover focus on through your cover lines?
  • Bring in other theorists such as Propp, Todorov and Blumler and Katz in your statement of intent
  • What is your influencer going to discuss in the feature about making positive lifestyle changes
