School Magazine Concept

Concept

My school magazine has a target audience consisting of students above the age of sixteen, so I thought it would be fitting to use the theme of becoming independent and making a living.

Image

Mise-en-scene:

A young, white male with glasses and formal clothing leaning on a short fence, looking at the camera with a prestigious look on his face. He is standing in the centre of the image - on what seems to be school grounds - in natural lighting. This makes him look like a typical successful man, while still showing that he is juvenile and comfortable.

Camerawork:

A subtle, low angle mid shot of the model to make the model look superior to the reader, who aspires to be as successful as the model is being represented.

Typography

The Masthead, 'PROACTIVE' beside the model's head in large letters.

The Leading quote; "Forget Dreams, Pursue Reality" sitting in front of the fence that the model is leaning on, as if he's the one saying it.

The Sell Lines promise advice on how to improve the lives of the readers, persuading them to buy the magazine. This will be supported by the Button which displays information about a competition.

Additional information, such as the price, date and bar code will be at the bottom of the cover.
