magazine analysis

My magazine analysis

Preparation task

1. all the magazines focus on is ONLY music because that's the point of the website but not only that there is a website called "vibe" this music site stood out to me because it not only contained JUST music it also contained other stuff, stuff that the other sited didn't have such as the vibe had a section on gaming,T.V,car,cinema and more. this was a clever idea because not only they will get lots of views on music but they can get MILLIONS of views on the extra stuff provided on there sites.
The sites mostly focused on the latest things that has recently happened through out the week and the latest albums and music news. They do not talk about the things that happened in the passed. The artist featured were the artist that have been on the news RECENTLY not any old artist because there wont be a point to put them up on there site. In my opinion the target audience has got to be teenagers because music is mostly focused at them and they like to hear about the latest gossip and more. However I think VIBE is for people other than teenagers because it has a whole variety of things for different age groups such as gaming can be up to 10-20 or T.V can be for anyone.

2.
 - none: website is blocked

 -on the NME cover it started with "top 50 songs that give you goosebumps" which contained songs from the classic and form now days. it also has celebrity news on the side of the page in my opinion I assume it was on the side because its not that important but its still news so people might like to read it. also it had information on the latest concerts coming soon and more. they feature that artists that are more famous and people love also artists that have been in the news recently

 - first thing I spot when I come to the site is that it has adverts are running down the side of the screen. Also it contained news about famous music stars on the side but the only thing that was in the middle of the screen was that it had little posters on saying listen to the Q all day every day and more posters about them.I thought of the website being boring  because there was nothing about music on the first page but as you go down there is but the music genre was classic rock n roll which I don't think no one will buy or read. the artist that were featured was a female singer called 'Adele'. i was there on the side of the screen because she is part of the news on this magazine.





- This magazine cover was better because it was much colourful and fitted in with the logo and there audience which in my opinion is teenagers/Goth cause the colours and the logo font fits in perfectly. I say this website is mostly for Goth people because the characters on the cover are Goth and I do not think that a non Goth person would want to read this magazine. the artist that were staring on the                                       side of there magazine cover was a Goth group called the "lost prophets.



- The Vibe cover had a really good web page because it had more than music it also contained gaming,T.V, mobile and more. the reason this site is good cause it contains lots of things for different age groups which can make them get lots of views on there site and more people will buy it because it has more than just one thing. unfortunately the vibe does not have any music related things up on there site and they do not have any artist on there web page they only have images on the products there magazine contains.

Minority Report shot analysis

Shot description

Over-the-shoulder / medium-long shot

Shot explanationThe over-the-shoulder angle allows a point-of-view shot from the perspective of the man reading the newspaper. The medium/long shot allows enough background to establish the location as a metro train. The over-the-shoulder shot means the following shots, with the newspaper-reading man recognising the fugitive, are easy for the audience to interpret. The concept of a fugitive on a mission to clear his name is a classic Action Adventure quest narrative.
 Shot description
Mid shot/medium shot
Shot explanation
This shot is ONLY showing half of the characters body so there for it is a medium shot. It is used in this picture to show you the area the character is in and what he is surrounded in, in this picture the character is surrounded by lots of people that are trying to get on the ‘train’. Also the picture shows you what kind of position the character is in as you can see in this picture that character is in a escape position and looks as if he is going to be targeted.

 Shot description
Medium close up/wide shot
 Shot explanation
I think this image is a wide close up cause it is showing more than ONE persons face and it shows the persons body from  head to shoulder so that’s why I called it a medium close up. This picture shows the characters shocked as if they have found what they are looking for or surprised.

Shot description
Establishing shot
Shot explanation
This is and establishing shot because it shows you where the action is taking place.  This shot is a good shot to show the audience cause it shows you where most of the scene is going to be. I can tell this because if you looking the corner of the picture the character is in a running position from this you can infer that this is going to be a chasing scene.

 Shot description
This is an ant eyed view medium close up.
Shot explanation
I called this image an ant eyed view close up cause for a close up the image character or object has to be with in head to shoulder, as you can see in this image the character is placed from head to shoulder. I called this image and ‘ant eyed view’ cause that camera has taken this shot from the bottom of the characters body to make that character look strong and power full.

  Shot description
establishing Crane shot
Shot explanation
This is a crane shot because the image is off the ground and looks as if it is going to ‘swoop’ across the scene. This is an establishing shot because it is where most of the scene is going to take place.

 Shot description
Hand held close up
Shot explanation
I think this is hand held cause if you look closely on how the picture is angled you can see that it is a bit tilted and from that I can assume that it is being hand held- a hand held shot is never straight. It is a close up because it is showing most of the characters face than his shoulder; his shoulders are cut in half.

 Shot description
Close up
Shot explanation
I think this is a close up because the camera is focussing on that characters face and the way he is feeling from his facial expression.  As you can see on the characters face it is as if he is shocked and thinking that there is no escape-need to figure out a plan on how to escape the cops.

 Shot description
Ant eyed view mid shot-medium shot.
Shot explanation
I think this image is a ant eyed view shot because the image looks as if it is below the characters waste and also it is being used to show that all the characters in this scene are all powerful as each other-equal –strength. It is a mid shot because it is showing ONLY the characters head to shoulder- mostly the main character the rest of the characters are making there way into the picture.
