Bollywood Mood Board:

I did a little mood board to help me with what i was looking at bollywood genre. I looked at some photos which inspired me to get my final picture for my front cover of my magazine. I looked at different artist, one thing i noticed was that they more focus on the facial expression of the figure in the picture and there more of a close up shot or medium shot. This has helped me a little to develop my ideas on photography a bit further.

Experimenting with music genres

This is a rap artist '2pac' we got influenced by the use of the west side that is in out initial photograph:

I then used Photoshop to edit this picture:
This is our Initial Picture:
Me and a partner (Nishil) where given a music genre of 'rap' we was asked to take a photograph based on the genre. As rap is known to be 'gangster' i dressed my partner up in a hoodie, showing the 'west side' with his hand moments. We focused on the face expression on the picture and also the shot the picture is at. We chose to do a medium shot to show the cloths that he is wearing to represent the music genre of 'rap'. This depicts the sort of mood of the music.

NME Moodboard

I did a moodboard on NME magazines to help me write about the key conventions used in NME and also to help me pick out the similarities about NME magazines. For example the way they use a red large mast head on every music magazine and its always in the same place. However this is eye-catching as they use bright colours and it looks more like a rock magazine.

NME & RWD Analysis

By looking at the 'current' NME and RWD covers and by analysing the differences and Similarities. By looking at the colour, style, layout of these magazines have helped me as it will help me make my own magazine and also it has helped me to look at my 'target audience' in more detail as I intend to use this target audience and use similar sort of layout and colour, the image of figure on the front cover of the magazine in more eye-catching as in 'Bollywood' you would see more of the figure and clothing and more like a 'medium shot' on the front cover more focused on the figures facial expression. Also the use of the large mastheads and font and teasers are quiet appealing to me as bollywood sort of uses the same kind of look on its music magazine.
