Title Ideas

Originally i wanted to call my magazine Clubbers Guide, and have an edition within it. So that for my coursework it would be Clubbers Guide, Trance edition. However as Clubbers guide is already a well known CD title, i was unable to use it. I wanted to keep the same idea of making a general music magazine within an edition in it. So i decided on the Title 'Hands up'. i chose this as it relates to the type of music my magazine is based on. There is a CD called put your hands up which includes djs such as Ian Van Dahl, so i thought this name is definitely relevant to my music genre. My music magazine is going to have a main title of 'Hands up' and a sub title of 'Trance edition'. This means i can make my magazine more general to dance music but incorporate trance as a main feature.

Ideas for my front page

These photographs attracted my attention because, yes, they are very revealing but they are also very attractive. They represent the fact that when at trance concerts or clubs you dont tend to wear much as you get hot, and as well as the music, trance is all about the way you look and the atmosphere. They arent from a music magazine but they are modelling for different companies. they follow the theme of trance and all feature tattoos. The poses the models are holding are very professional and look stylish. I also like they way one of the photos contrasts black and white to colour. It makes the lips stand out and draws attention to them and it also compliments the rose. I like this idea, and have considered using it on my front page.

Note taking

Today in our theory lesson we watched a clip from Gavin and Stacey, a tv series. We took notes on the camera angles, the setting, costumes and props and the characters. I have realised that my strengths when note taking are on the costume and props and the reason for why they are used. however i have noticed my weaknesses are on the characters and being able to evaluate their actions. Note taking within my theory lessons is giving me extra practice for my exam. To improve on analysing the characters i need to take more detailed notes on how they act so i can begin to compare and evaluate their actions.

My favourie song

This is my favourite song at the minute, it gets me ready for nights out and i listen to it all the time. I genreally listen to music through my headphones and whilst getting ready, doing homework or just relaxing. It makes me feel so good, it can make my mood go from down to up. The beat has a certain sound which makes me want to smile. Its not played in many clubs but if it came on it would deffinately get me dancing and smiling. I like this song and this style of music because it has a good uplifting beat and repeats different parts so it gets stuck in your head! It gives me chills and makes me excited. Songs like this are what im interested in.
