Product 1
- Put the magazine focus/genre in the beginning - explain the genre and reference LIAR - link research (statistics and focus group)
- Link back to research on your target audience - why are 16-25-year-olds interested in your topic
- Showcase your research and prove yourself to them
- Add in theory
- Each paragraph should include at least one theory - it is useful when analyzing - Barthes (semiotics)
- Cover star's social group can be shown through their clothes if you're stuck
- If any part of your mise-en-scene becomes unavailable, you can change your statement at the end
- Refer to both of the covers
- Codes and conventions - refer to your research and give named examples (of research)
- Make clear what mise-en-scene you will feature in your images and your audio-visual content - can anchor the social group
- Be more specific in general
- Dennis publishing - branding - give an example
- State your intertextuality and easter eggs in your statement of intent
- Digital convergence is particularly important in the magazine industry - Industry theorist e.g Hesmondhalgh
Product 2
- Theory - Shirky (end of the audience)
- Make interactive to adhere to theory e.g a comment box
- Jenkins - participatory culture - have a page showing fan work and renditions of our work?
- Website - industrial context - most media products have a cross-platform presence - link your research - a website is very complimentary and some magazines are only online (Teen Vogue)
- A good quote from Dennis - "restlessly innovating across different platforms to bring our audience new sources of inspiration, information + entertainment"
- There's a decline of print-making websites very helpful
- Easter eggs - be specific - can include intertextuality which depends on the audience's cultural competency so you need to state for the examiner
- Logo and slogans
Digital convergence
- Particularly important in the magazine industry because people don't print as much anymore - Hesmondhalgh - 'playing it safe'
- Consistent house style - informal mode of address
- Social media pages are very important for target audience
