Research and planning- costume prop list

For the costumes I would need

• Skinny jeans
• A pink top
• A pair of warm furry boots
• A girls leather jacket
• A colored scarf around the neck

All these clothes are girls because the front cover of my pop music magazine is going to be a shot of a female image.
The props that I am going to use are

• Blue jewellery to go with the colour scheme
• Probably a micro phone to look like that she is singing

All this is to go with the colour scheme that I have chosen to go with the pop music magazine from the questionnaire feedback that I got from the whole class.

I can also tell that its target audience may be girls because it provides a clothing of  scarf that might illustrate that it is girls clothing that they are offering.

The magazine content page is laid out in columns with bright color borders for the subheadings, page numbers going on the left hand side with the story titles also with the numbers.

Research and planning- Categorising my music magazine audience

Age: My music magazine audiences are going to be in the age of teenagers from 13-17, as this is the age I think my audience will prefer to read a pop music magazine.

Gender: The gender of my magazine are going to be females and males who love 'pop' music as this is what my magazine is going to be about, my aim is to attract them to read the magazine and find it interesting and also they will always be able to download some music from the sites that are going to be there.

Occupation: My audience can read this at anytime as there is no limit to where they read or what they read, they can be in full time college or full/part time work, they  can read it any time they want, some may even be in school or university.

Class and wealth: The class of my music magazine is lower class as they would not need much money to pay for the magazine, they don,t need to be really rich. I will put a minimum amount of money on the price probably under £2.00, on the other hand if it costs too much then the people may not want to buy the magazine, as this will be another big problem.

Interests: The music magazine will interest the teenagers who love to listen to a lot of music related to pop and also that are willing to download them to their phones or I pod, for them I will put some pop artist pictures that sing those songs and their album and also related to these pop artist I will put some fashion trends on the page for teenagers to look at, just as an extra thing.

Outlook for future: the teenagers at this time will probably be thinking they want to go college or they want to go university, and others may say that they just want to work after college, as this is what interests them.

How are you going to reach them: to reach them I could give some sites to the teenagers that are willing to download music from pop magazines and also I could give them an email website for them to chat and also to give some feedback on what they think about the magazine. In the magazine I could give some advice for college and university students on how to study well and also to the teenagers I could give in formation about some lifestyles of some of the pop artists.
