School Magazine – Planning Sheet

                                               

Remember, you are required to create a front cover with a medium close up shot plus some appropriately laid out text, a masthead and a contents page.

Use this sheet to help you with your planning.

What is the name of your magazine? What are the connotations of the name?

My magazine will be called ‘want to succeed?” this title is interesting as its a rhetorical question and will attract many readers as they want to succeed. 

What will be your front cover story and how will you visualise this?

my front cover will explain the revision tips and give a little bit of  information on whats going to be inside. I will make the front cover using banners and buttons to make it visually attractive.

•Who is the target audience? (Consider age, gender, interests)

My target audience will be for A-level students for both genders, some girls and boys have interests but I’m sure both genders will want to succeed which means it may attract both genders.

What sort of shot will it be?Close up, mid shot, low or high angle? 

My shot will be a mid-shot so i will be holding books to relate to the title “how to succeed”by using a mid-shot the reader will be able to focus on the books and not the background.

What mise en scene will be required for the photography? Location, Clothing, lighting)

my clothing will be me in my uniform to relate to education, i will also be holding my books to relate to the title and i will be using a plain white or light background, this way the reader will focus on the main image and not the background. The lighting will also be high-key so its easy for the reader to see.

What would be your headline and how will it match the main image?

 my headline would also include the world ‘success” this relates to the image and masthead.

What colour scheme do you want and explain why?

i will be using different shades of blue as it relates to academic colours, i will also be using white bold capital letters for subtitles onto of blue buttons and banners so it stands out.
