Magazine Ideas/Analysis for NEA

Masthead Ideas:
  • DYNAMIC
  • NOTION
  • INFLUENCE 





  • For the font of my masthead , it will be bold, simplistic and sophisticated in capital blocks. The colour of the font will be black/white/or neutral colours to match the conventions of a modern indie/alternative magazine, as well as the complementing the main image( not overpowering yet not too vague).
  • My magazine will be mainly focusing on indie/alternative/rock/synth music and artists. The magazine double page spread will be about my artist's music and recent song "Dancer in the Dark", it will cover the message he's trying to send and why it is important. 
  • The front cover will have a mast head, artist name and a pull quote with page number, it will be minimal and simplistic so that there's more focus going towards the artist himself.
  • The double spread will have a different picture on the left side of the artist with small text of his recent single "Dancer in the Dark". The right side will have tombstone text and a drop cap which is a common convention used in magazines.

Analysis on magazines(Dazed)

Image
They tend to cover topics on music, fashion, art and culture. They take on more artistic and aesthetic approaches to fashion featuring high end designers . In majority of their magazines featuring females,  models do not wear make up to enhance or glorify their feminine features, but instead strengthen those features to make them more masculine or keep it neutral to embrace their natural beauty. This breaks the conventions of stereotypes on gender where females can be presented as masculine allowing audiences to be more open minded and appreciate the artist values of the magazine.

Music Video Ideas- Initial Plan

NEA- research and planning from Isha Bhatt *(Edit) during the waltz scene, the devil will not be revealed at all, with this I want to enforce the connotations of the devil such as deceiving, dark and enigmatic. Also, the role will be played by a female actor as the devil is a representation of her inner darkness. This would also break the conventions of traditional waltz dancing of a man and woman as partners. It would empathize the personal conflict that Juliet has with her self.    * There will be shots/ scenes involving Juliet going through maniac and depressive episodes in order to represent  the visible struggles of bipolar disorder. For example; not being able to get out of bed, staring at the mirror, dancing around in bliss, books and sheets scattered around with writing intensively. * A circling camera shot rotating around actor to draw attention to the artist. Also a zoom in/or out shot of Juliet which can portray how the audience is drawing into her and how she is

Beyonce's "Run the World"- Analysis

Beyoncé is seen as a multi-platinum iconic star who encourages empowerment of feminism through her music videos, one of them being "Run the World". Majority of the western society considers this music video to preach out to women of this era to break through the stereotype by  empowering women to show that she can hold the same amount of authority as a man. There are a lot of symbolism used throughout the music video such as an apocalyptic setting which illustrates war between men and women that's been going on for years in a patriarchal society. But this is the time and era where women will conquer men starting a new revolution for the 21st century. Referring to her lyrics "who run the world... girls", war is seen as a state of masculinity but Beyoncé moves away from that and based on the way her and the other women are represented, its as though they have already claimed their authority. It is quite ironic to see the men dressed up in armors and using shield
