Planning
Target AudienceI decided to make my target audience for 13-18 females as that was the age group the majority of the people that answered my questionnaire was. Also i feel like this is a good age group to use as I think it’s the age where many people read music magazines. The genre form that I am working with is r&b has many people from my questionnaire loved that genre. The way I will appeal to my target audience is by using interesting but yet short and snappy stories on my front to influence the audience into buying the magazine. To make my magazine fit into my target audience I will include a young female, dressed up as an r&b artist as I think it an important contribution.

Green screen:
Possible problems: Booking time for me and my performer could be difficult because there are many people in the school that study media studies/drama that would also like to use a green screen. So I have to make sure that I book the green screen when no one is using it.
Positive outcomes: Good place to take good quality pictures which means that my pictures would also turn out better. The green screen would help me develop a good background which means it would be easier for me to edit on Photoshop which essentially would mean that I am saving time.
My House:
Possible Problems: It’s hard to take good quality pictures as it would only look good in some
lightening's. I would have to make sure that whenever I take a picture, It is on a plain background and I also would not be able to take a picture when it is dark outside or if it is too light outside.
Positive Outcomes: I can take pictures any time I am at home which would mean I obviously mean I would not have to be planning out when to take a picture.

Although my magazine is based on music, I have included a little bit of ‘fashion’ into my magazine. The idea of the headphones is for me to put on the heart which is adding decoration to my masthead.
