Pitch write up

Pitch

(It is on a powerpoint but this is the write up)

Name: Rebel.

I have chosen this name as it is a current affairs magazine, but the front cover always focuses on someone who is rebelling against society norms or the government. For example XR or madison going against the patriarchy. I believe that these people are the ones who will create change, which is important and needed.

Media Language

I will use the main image to be very powerful each time to show the theme of rebellion, i will do this by using lights, props, costumes,camera angles and poses amongst other things. The font will be bold and modern as it appeals to a younger audience. The choice of words will be modern and not extremely formal as it is for a younger audience.

Audience

The audience is for 16-25 year old people who want to be inspired, the aim of the magazine is to inspire them to create change about something they are passionate about. I will do this by empowering them by showing them other people their age making a change in the world such as activists. Everything will be bright and modern so it appeals to them and they don't feel overwhelmed like some people that age would when reading a current affairs magazine.

Codes and conventions

I will have a masthead to make it instantly recognisable and a tagline that people link with the magazine. I will also have a main image and cover lines. The cover model will also be to do with current affairs and what is happening in politics/society. 

Intertextuality

I will have intertextuality which links with the feminist activist and artist Florence Given as the masthead will be the same font as in her art as she is also a rebel so it links with the theme and title of the magazine. 

Representation

In the cover of XR there will be representation of both genders and races as it shows how it is inclusive and for everyone. In my feminist cover it will be of a powerful woman going against gender stereotypes who isn't being sexualised for the male gaze. I will show representation through the magazine as i believe it is important, especially in the feminist cover as it is all about woman, which the media don't tend to focus on, unless they are sexualising them

Camera Framing and Photography Research

Camera Framing and Photography Research I want to do a worms eye view for the feminist front cover of the magazine and take the picture under the boot of the model so it looks like she is kicking the camera and it is a very low angle.  For example, this image, however the focus would be on her rather than the boot. It is going to represent how she is powerful and stomping on the patriarchy. I like this front cover as the angle and close up makes her look quite masculine which goes against the gender stereotypes. I want to do a long shot for my magazine about extinction rebellion as this means everyone can fit in the image which shows how many people are involved and how important the issue is. My front cover image will be sort of like this as there will be focus on one singular person but everyone else will also be seen in the back.

Feminist Moodboard

This magazine is about feminism. I want it to appeal to teenage girls as it is about their life and the aim is to make them feel empowered. I want to use this bright colours to attract the eye, i want to use pink especially as it is seen as the stereotypical girls colour but i want to make it edgy and different, not like the stereotype of a delicate girl, i want to make it powerful. I want my model in a bold suit as it defies the typical gender boundaries and i want her to be wearing big boots and kicking the camera to represent her stomping on the patriarchy.
