Instrumental Photoshoot

Thinking more about my double page spread images, now I have the person I am going to use for my front cover based on his general style and look suiting the indie genre, I decided to photograph him in other situations. I used instrument and outside settings and also portraits to create a slide show of potential images.

Question 4: who would be the audience for your media product

Readers profile

A 18 year old student who loves knowing more about new coming bands and music specific to seasons ie)mellow jason mraz, newton faulker style fitting to summer. They may already be fans of magazines like NME however SCENE may be more fitting for girls and summer vibes. She would be a social butterfly always out and about and loves summer. Shops in high street stores such as HandM and Topshop with a love for summery clothing and festival gear such as sandles, dresses, sunnies and straw hats. They listen to current bands such as laura marling, Paolo Nutini, The Killers,Kings of leon, Florence and the machine- mainstream and unsigned. They may also be into singing/guitar themselves and record there own videos of there songs or covers.

The male audience would be similar to that in the video. Students maybe quite preppy with a care for their looks also liking a range of music and wanting summer festivals with friends, drink and girls.

Question 3: what kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

For my music magazine, IPC would be the ideal institution to distribute my work due to the wide target audience and that they already distribute NME so would have the ability and main target audience to get my product to the consumers.

I think the two key options for distribution would be: 

1. Through the magazine industry- Key retailers such as WHsmith, HMV, and other retailers that would appeal to my target audience and is likely to be recognized. 

2. With the advance of technology, a new way of distributing is through private websites. This would save time when distributing, and gain a wide target audience through word of mouth generating subscribers and a consistent buyer in each issue. 

Question 2: How does your media product represent a particular social group?

A male indie style, into fashion music and new music.
The hair style and clothes are similar to that on my front cover which represents the indie genre which is currently very popular.
