  For my environment edition, i used my brother josh, who represents a 17 year old, who wants to see a change in the environment. In the main photos i have took for my magazine, he is seen looking out to see and on mountains, as well as featuring next to historical monuments. I chose Josh as i thought he would look appealing in the photographs, and his tall figure would make it seem attractive. For my Black Lives matter edition, i used my friend Katie to model as a protester, and wants to stand for black lives, as well to see a change in society. I chose her because she is photogenic, and again would look appealing to others.

Environment magazine:   I have chosen to base the photos for my environment magazine in Isle of Arran, Scotland, because of the beautiful scenery, and i think it links well as to what my message will be in the magazine. Some examples of the location include: Black Lives Matter magazine As for my BLM edition, i will base my photos in the town centre of Newcastle, and Whitley Bay, as there have been protests and events about the Black lives matter happening, and i wanted to make it seem as real as possible for my audience. 

  My plan A is to complete 2 editions of a magazine on the environment, and the black lives matter issues going on. I still want to keep these topics, as i feel deeply that they need to be portrayed more in the media. Therefore, i will try and stick to this decision and put this across in my final editions.  If my casting doesn't work out with my current models, i will chose people close to me that can do it in limited time, as well as shoot my photos in local areas to save time.  For my environment magazine, i shot my photos in Scotland, meaning i would have to change my location to Whitley Bay for example, as i was in Scotland for a limited amount of time. This would probably affect the quality of my photos as the scenery in Scotland was much more high quality/ photogenic than in Whitley Bay. However, Whitley Bay still has some suitable locations i could shoot my photos such as St Marys lighthouse and Whitley Bay beach which i could use in my magazine. As for my BLM edi...

  How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief?  Product 1: I have chosen to produce a magazine which I will portray the Black lives matter Protests and the global environmental crisis. These current affairs are global, meaningful and have an impact on many people's lives. The Representation is highly significant, because it is highlighting the issues and situations currently visible in the world, especially the racism in America. Therefore, creating real representations of this will help attract audiences and bring attention to what is going on. My idea for this came from the events occurred this year. This grabbed my attention to create a magazine about the horrific situation. My photography will show the representation of the lives of these black people, who go through racial abuse, when they are innocent people. I will do this through the media language including mise-en-sce...

' At least 4 different main images across the covers and contents page' Both boy and a girl- this will represent at least two of the different social groups, and make the magazine seem suitable for all genders. First Edition: All about protest and gender inequality- includes black lives matter. Settings/location- streets/ally way- gives a more reality and urban feel to the theme. I also think it gives a powerful message about how real society is and the problems that people face everyday. Models- Both female and male, but i will also try and include different races to diversify my magazine cover. This also expands my social group representations. I am going to take lots of different angles and shot types on the camera of the models, and then limit my choices out so i get a broader range. Mise-en-scene- The clothes they wear and makeup etc will need to match my theme. Therefore, if i wad to do the black lives matter protest, i could do 'army lines' makeup an...

I have used a range of different photos to highlight the style of my magazine, but also about what is going on in the world currently. The two main stories happening now (May/june 2020) is the Coronavirus/global pandemic and also the black lives matter protests happening in London and the USA.  My two magazine front covers will possibly have two different colour schemes, with one being black and white to show the black lives matter protests. This will create diversity for my magazine brand and i can use different types of images to show this as well.  The style of my magazine will be more of a 'vogue' feel or the Week, which uses a lot of editing in the main images. These images conform to the expectations of a entertainment magazine because its colourful and also i want to include different stories across my magazines. I am going to use original and modern fonts for my masthead, head lines, copy etc to match with other magazines.
