Initial Ideas for Magazine (first spread and cover)


Magazine Idea (1st cover)

Brief:


 Concept: 

Giving teens and young adults from fairly wealthy backgrounds inspiration for how to look and act stylish in stylish places


famous film poster, album, etc  

How that influenced style  

How u can replicate that style  


A key focus on:

  • - Influence of music on style 

  • - Eras of music and style

  • - Mixing music with style 

  • - How we connect albums to style 

  • - Will include lots of intertextuality (feed into the pride of music and style - viewers will enjoy understanding the intertextuality of the covers and spreads)

Music Video: Initial Thinking

Music Video


Target audience: a primarily 16-25 year old middle up market audience pf style conscious people 

theme: pop ballad 

For this theme I'm going to use a pop ballad and incorporate some of the common themes in pop ballads such as a love story.

Songs:

1.  Sunday Morning - Maroon 5

2.  Baby Come Back - Player

3.  Eyes Without A Face - Billy Idol

4.  Purple Rain - Prince


Music Video Inspirations:

Innitialally,  I'm drawn to the early 2010s love song type of music videos - especially beacause of my song choices. 

If I were to use baby come back id want to centre the videos around a car driving around (a lot of inspiration coming from a TikTok trend with this song) that will go into how someone is driving around aimlessly because they broke up with someone and want them back.

If I were to se Sunday morning which im leaning towards more, I have a vision of a girl in her house alone waiting around, and it cutting back and forth to a boy in a separate house leaving to get in his car and drive to her. and the girl deciding to go see him but he's already at the door. like a mini romantic film that's very simple and easy to follow. 

famous music videos I like:

shelter short film

 Shelter short film:

The narrative represented in the video is of a child and father using their imaginations to escape their unfortunate living situation.
