16) Coursework Draft Front Page







15) Coursework Double page image’s Dissucion


In this image the positioning of the people is that they are turned inwards close on themselves with there heads turned looking at the camera. Therefore makes the audience look straight directly to the two individuals & makes them stand out to the audience. The emotions on there faces is very serious but therefore showing attitude, a feeling of you shouldn’t mess with them. The shot type of the shoot is Medium close up, therefore only picking out the costumes & faces. The colours that stand out is the Pink & red. The pink & red of the tops, but in Stef’s top some is hidden by Stef’s Black blazer therefore making contrast. Also the red lipstick & pink eye shadow also give the impression of attitude & rebellion showing a confidence in there fashion sense. The background is very dark & the scene I have took the photo shoot, is in a dark street giving a tone to the photos that theses two models have literally come of the streets, they have had the ruff life therefore reflects on there bad attitude. The Background is dark therefore makes the two models stand out. The costumes have a sense of showing there personality’s one of a cheeky, sexy sasy lady (influenced by the colour pink,) & the other a strong wild minded rock style costume also showing sexiness. Both showing extreme confidence in there outfits & therefore reflects on there personalities of bad attitude. The props that we used was head phones on Liz showing interest & love of music & long jewellery on Stef showing interest in fashion. Also due to that most gender that listens to rock music is male there sexiness can draw them in, whist with the girls who want to rebel against the world these two can be seen as role models. The gestures in the hands is that stef is touching liz’s face therefore showing affection towards liz, could almost be seen as protection.

Interviewer - Andy Stevenage

It is known that the Rock girl duo, Bad attitude did have an attitude but we didn’t realize how much. As from their fall out from their first album, the duo has made a reappearance and become even better! Yes the average girlish squabble goes on in this group like who had the straighteners last, where’s the make up bag. But this duo take it to a whole new level of , “where’s my f***in £25,000 waist belt? And have you seen the mega audio system, I think someone nicked it from the gig last night.” As I interrupted the girls nearly going head over heel in a fight, to my very surprise when I mentioned I was there for an interview they seemed very happy to do it.

Andy Stevenage - So girls apart from the squabble outside, how is the friendship going between you two?

Kate – Stronger than ever,
Patricia – We love each other really; it’s just our common normal day to day fights.
Kate – We just get underneath each others feet a lot, that’s all. You know if girls spend to much time together, its gets stressful.
Patricia – I hope it’s not too stressful? (Cheeky grin), its not that bad. We’re just like sisters, you fight but you love em to bits. How would you feel if you was living with two females constantly?
Interviewer - Fairly good actually.
Kate – I’m sure you would!

Andy Stevenage - It must feel fantastic, living the fame life, pretty satisfying I would say.

Patricia - You bet, we’ve been so busy, interviews, photo shoots, upcoming music videos, we’re mostly touring every night.
Kate – But get this, whilst doing all this, we’re coming up with songs for our new album which takes up lots of time, not enough time in the day.
Patricia – But all the stuff we can buy. Do you remember the shopping on the Japan trip, remember the…
Kate – Let me stop you in your tracks (looking at Patricia­), trust me you get Patricia started on shopping you will be stuck here for months.

There have been many headlines about this group in the recent newspapers e.g. The News of the World ‘Girl duo suicide.’ So With the duo being in the best of moods, to my surprise, I ask a more serious question.
Andy Stevenage - Is it true what the newspapers say?

Kate - Can I get one thing straight in this interview, I did not hang myself off a side of a 25 foot building or get myself killed. As you’ve seen cos I’m speaking to you right now. Don’t get me wrong I’ve been in bad places theses last few years but I have never had any intentions like what they said.
Patricia – And I would personally like to tell those F***ers that if they dare write any other false articles about me or Kate be prepared to have my fist down their throat.
Cos they have really got my back up this time.
Kate – Hay don’t scar-the interviewer, he’s nice.
Andy Stevenage - Thanks, but I was scared for a moment there.

Moving onto a slightly lighter topic their new releases of their new album is out on the 22 November I am who I am.
(seen on top right.)
Andy Stevenage - Exited about the album release then?

Patricia – Year
Kate – Yer of course, music is our world for now on. But in a way if we do B***ocks this album up, there will always be the next one.
Patricia – But I would just like to go back to your first point & just say a huge thank you to all our fans. And to be honest we failed with our first album, but with our second album came to fame. I think both Kate & I agree that because of our failure it makes this album that much more special to us.

So hearing the girls having a smooth heart to heart with me, the most attitude girl group has ever seen, I think what has happened here? Have they had a personality transplant or something? Known for their drunken rebellions, outrageous lyrics, & out of this world graphical music videos, which may not be shown to the public, are the girls showing another side to their multi dimensional personality?
Andy Stevenage - What is your favourite track on the album?

Patricia – That’s a hard one, I love all of em cos we made it, can’t say really, all brilliant.
Kate - I have to say ‘Cheats & Lies’ because this song has meaning to me, a dedication to an x of mine.
Patricia - An X of both of ours actually.
Kate – Ahh forgot about that, I think because of him & all the mental torture he put both of us through, that is how we’ve got our attitudes today. All down to that ‘B***ard.
Patricia – Basically down to him & the press in the last few years that’s what’s been killing Kate. But to be fair the song shows that we’ve both made it through the other side & still we can smile from time to time.
Kate - Then from any other time go out & get drunk.

Andy Stevenage - What about your influences, from a teenager, there must be someone who inspired you?

Patricia - O there is, Blondie’s the favourite, I’d always listen to her when I was a kid, then most of the other time was what songs were playing when I was drinking up Vodka shots. But mainly the other bands that helped us make our music were the bands that had been recently caught in the spot light. The Killers, Evanescence, Stereophonics, Guns & Roses that sort of thing.
Kate – But how could you every forget Queen? But to be honest the main influence of ours was actually girl bands, but we wanted to make our image not the usual crowd. So making us the girl band that no one would think, ow they’re the plastics again. I mean who wants to be all the same anyhow, & a stereotypical band. You’re then just basically copying another band from the past century.

So have Bad attitude really gone soft or was it just a good day for them? The music; still ambiguous, the attitudes, still got it, & the videos, don’t let me go there. Well there seems to be a history or other personalities revealing at the scenes. Will they unravel more of their other softening sides or any other hidden personalities? I will leave you with this thought.

10) Coursework Pratice Images for Front Cover

















Air Guitar Pose


















Wants to go pose



















Cheeky Pose

















Cool Pose

Here are my practice photos for my front cover, of where I tried to get the feel for the emotions that had to be fed through my photos. I found that I need to create more attitudes in the photos by letting the models use more facial expression, body language & hand gestures. I also need to create more distance and more angles when I take the photos in my proper shoot, therefore the images will become effective. I also realise that all my models in my main shoot should have a clear background & all need to be looking at the camera, to shout out to the audience. I also need my models to be costumed & need to interact with each other (if not looking at camera.) Another idea I had for my double page as well was if I took single photos of each band member and present them in a four. Therefore this will show the audience that they have single personality but are a whole as a group.

8) Coursework Reader Profile

My reader would be aged between 15-18 who is female who has lived in Britain all her life with a British culture. She would either still be in full time education or would have a full time job from leaving school education. If in full time education she would be taking 3-4 A levels getting £20-50 a week, from money from parents or EMA. She may also have a part time job earning a low to medium income of which she would spend about 60% of this on her music & leisure.
Her main interests would be listening to her favourite music of the genres of Rock & Alternative, partying & generally having a good time. She would also take her looks into there own domain being a unique person & trying to live the Rock & Roll lifestyle in her own time. But underneath all the make up & front is just usually a normal lost teenager trying to find her way. She would also be up to date with the latest news/ gossip of music, fashion & the newest tours. She would also when she has the money, go & she some of her favourite bands on tour like Metallica, AC/DC, Bon jovi, Evanescence, 30 seconds to mars, Cold play, Nickel back, Nirvana, ,This City, Hoobon stank & The cribs. On day to day bases on money her parents have given her she would spend £20-30 a week on transport, food & products for school if needed. Her extra money from work would be the money she would spend on herself for leisure, shopping & music. Other products of which she may spend her money on would be the newsiest gadgets ipod/phones, newest albums & downloads, newsiest fashion, drink & audio products for playing instrument e.g. guitar strings.
Her family have a normal background based on a father, mother, brother & sister, of who she is still living with. Her family would have one or two average incomes coming into the household, to keep the family together. But she is preparing to leave home soon to move on with her life & maybe have a career or family of her own. Her aim for her career due to her love of music is to work in the music industry, either listening & analyzing music, making music with her voice & guitar or managing music.
She would also be up to date with the latest technology like emails, msn, my space, blogging, & the newest technology ipod & phones. She would expect this magazine to be also up to date with the latest technology & enabling her to download music from the magazine. Also to be up to date with the latest instruments/audio would also be essential to her. She would also expect the latest band articles new/gossip in the music industry & also the latest music high street fashion & access to buying it.

7) Coursework Magazine Names

Rhythm
The genre for this magazine would most likely be a mixture of music, and magazine that covers the whole genes of music. I think this would work fairly well as a title because it can open a lot of options for the magazine (contents) & doesn’t have to be joint to a pacific type of music. Also straight away the title tells you that this magazine is to do with music but the title is not catchy so might imply this magazine is for an older audience.

Crazy Note
The genre for this magazine would be pop, for a young teenager girl. This title I think would work fairly well because it’s different & makes you think what is that magazine about. Although the title is not as clear of saying that this magazine is to do with music, ‘note’ could be taken as English literacy. So I think if I did have this title I would have to make sure that the images of the front cover tell the audience that this is an music magazine.

Rock On
The genre for this magazine would be rock, for a teenager or maybe an older generation. I think that the title works well because it tells the reader straight away what this music magazine is about, it also tells the reader that this magazine has attitude. The only thing that I could say about this title is that it is commonly used so at first many people may take this magazine to be a senior unprofessional magazine & may ignore the magazine. But once reputation is gained it wouldn’t be a problem.

Music Shift
The genre for this magazine would be new music, for people who are interested In new incoming music, so a young 18-25 age range. I think that this title would work well because it tells the reader straight away what the magazine is about & also using ‘Shift’ it gives a tone of change or something new. I would say that the name is not too catchy although the implications of something new could make the magazine more attracted to the audience’s eyes.

AmR or AMP's
My final name choice for my magazine is AmR or AMP's, which stands for Amplify the music of Rock. The reason why I choose this name was because it relates to rock music of that AMP's are used in rock music. Therefore tells the audience that this is a rock based magazine. Also it is short & catchy which therefore will stand out to the audience.

6) Coursework Questionnaire Results analysis

5)Coursework Target Audience


Magazine: Classic Fm

Age
I think that this magazine is for an older audience, due to that older people listen to classical music. Also a middle-aged model is used on the front cover, which therefore shows that maybe this magazine is for middle age/ older people.

Gender – Both because white & red colours have been used, this shows maturity. Because this magazine has been specialised for people or musicians that like/play classical music this magazine is not aimed at a gender.

Music Gender – people who like classical music.

Income – The income of this audience would be fairly high, the normal average work job pay. This id due to that this magazine is aimed at an older audience therefore in full employment.
Also this magazine has given a freebie of a cd, which therefore shows that this magazine company is fairly wealthy.

Interests – Listening to music, celebrity news, Prizes to be won (offers) News on music awards.
