Music Magazines

 

  • Analyse the media language of MOJO and the BBC magazine. 
  • Make judgements and draw conclusions about how far the media language is used differently to fit different kinds of music. (15)


In Mojo the genre is rock and in BBC it is classical which contrasts massively. In BBC and Mojo the use of media language differs towards there targeted audiences. In the Mojo magazine the layout compared to BBC has with more cover lines than BBC. they add more cover lines so it stands out to there audience whereas BBC keeps it simple meaning it is probably aiming there magazine towards an older and more sophisticated audience. The difference between BBC traditional and elegant serif masthead and MOJO’s bold sans-serif masthead is that BBC connotes seriousness but in Mojo it features the eye catching font which connotes more playfulness and less formality compared to BBC. The contrast between the traditional mise-en-scène in BBC, with the man with a cello case in his hand with informal clothes on, however in Mojo the man is wearing all white and is plain with a scary face which connotes seriousness although the layout of Mojo is informal. He is staring at the reader which also might engage the reader as the reader may feel like the person on the front cover is staring at them. BBC magazine emphasis more classical music and this is shown by using less dramatic lighting and making the front cover of the artist to seem natural. The colours in the main splash are not as bright as MOJO almost keeps a neutral tone throughout the front cover 

In conclusion, MOJO and BBC magazines use media language to target different audiences and appeal to the expectation of the subject the audience is shown on the cover. It is used differently to the extent that MOJO compared to the BBC magazine.

03 Brief 4

I would like my double page to about my hobby to do with football. I think I am good at this sport and have a big passion for the sport. This will make my website a lot more reliable and easier as it is a familiar thing to me as I have been playing football for a long time and have a knowledge for the game. I will be choosing Brief 4 because football is very popular between the ages of 14-18 so it would benefit and attract this age group. I would talk about my local football club. I will use informative language which will be appropriate for teenagers. some example newspaper articles would be 'super striker win the local cup against rivals!' 'Teddington athletic take home victory with a 2-1 exhilarating win' 'Claygate royals score a brace against Esher athletic' 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/get-inspired/23152583

For my front cover I will have me with my Teddington football team or me playing football when I was younger to show I have been playing football for a long time. I will use facts about football and how much I like playing football. I would like my audience, which will be around the ages of 14-18, to share the same passion as me about football and to get them more interested about it. my double page spread will have many photos of me playing football or other people playing football. 

My first page is going to be about grassroots football and getting into football. grassroots football is where every footballer has started and made there way to the top. Grassroots football is played by millions, with thousands of small leagues all around the world.

I will have a trailer about football and will use some people in my class to help with the trailer or be in the trailer. 

The website title will be FEATURED FOOTBALL. How to get inspired and how to get into football more. 10 tips to how to be more creative and involved with football

DUMMY TITLE:

SUPER SUNDAY: 10 fixtures rounded up all through the weekend with some thrillers!

Mayhem Monday: 6 goal fantasia as the north London rivals fight it out 

FNF: Friday night football produced 2 very equal games

Brief 1: Magazines

For my double page spread, I would probably put photos of a football that. I would write an article about it and put pictures of perhaps players 

Brief 3: Music video 

For my music video I would maybe pick a song and then use different types of shots e.g slow Mo, pan shot etc to show different emotions and then lip sync in certain parts. For example Drake 

Brief 4: Website 

I have a few hobbies and so would write about one of these. I enjoy baking, making music, acting, fashion/textiles etc. I would do a website on one of these and do a video showing my process for example show me showing fits and outfits

The sixties are represented as a specific fashion time there were women wearing mini skirts. the sixties also represented the new modern era from the 40s and fifties. 

Where does this come from?

Cuffs editing in chapter 5

One example of editing in chapter 5 is when the detective is trying to get the young boy, the witness, to speak but wont so she asks to go out of the room to go talk to the other detective to be allowed to do her job and ask the boy questions even though she isn't allowed to. this leaves the witness and the family in distraught and sadness while listening in the detectives talking. This gives a point of view from both the detectives and witnesses side.

Another example of editing is when it crosscuts location from the detectives talking to a man complaining about the incident that happened in his shop to then the police officers, PC Ryan and PC Jake Vickers   driving waiting for a call from there colleagues   

The last example of editing in chapter 5 is when it crosscuts from PC Ryan and PC Jake Vickers getting a call from other police officers saying they need backup, to then changing to the other police officers chasing the robber.
