This iMovie of pictures of Deep House and International House is a primary introduction into my chosen genre. I've chosen a variety of pictures linked to my chosen genre to show what Deep House and International House is like to see, pictures include: Tomorrowland, Afrojack, posters and MK. This video will initially give me the types of artist I hope to copy into my contents page and double-paged spread in terms of the image I want to give across as well as the background stories and how intricate or maybe even vague they should be.

Genre Research

This Powtoon explains my chosen genre(s) for my music magazines initial production. With this I've gained a better insight into genre itself. When it comes to my final decision on genre I have sufficient background information on each preferred genre and this will make my decision easier. 

This Wordle shows the competitors out there who also have magazines of a House genre. This is a crucial piece of research to have as it gives me the knowledge of who to research in more depth because if one magazine has a higher rated publicists than another; i'll want to research what they gain from being so high up but also if the lower rated publicists also do well.

Summary

So far I have used the four key concepts of a Media Product-Representation, Genre, Audience and Institution and i now know how to use them effectively in analysing music magazines.

In this I have learnt the differences between Niche and Mass genre as well as the similarities and differences with different music magazines and with this I can develop my music magazine to its fullest potential.

This part of my blog will be the first thing that I look back on when creating my final product as it gives me the knowledge of genre and the extra's that I really need to look at before making any solid decisions because I wouldn't want to create any problems when it's finished.

I made this PowToon to show how different Niche music and Mass music genres differ and how many similarities they have between them. With this I wish to gain better knowledge in choosing my genre because it will be the basis for my magazine and i'll be doing intense research into ensuring it's the best one for me. Within this powtoon I've broken down the connotations of Mass and Niche music because actually Mass music could be said to be the birthplace of Niche music as Niche music can be considered as a sub-genre but this has also helped majorly in the long run up to my final product as it has given me the inspiration to look further into my genre.

Quiz time

Try my quizlet scatter graph on Time.Inc Media, in this you'll have an insight into the music publication world and hopefully learn and thing or two about a certain magazine media group. In creating this Quizlet, I've gained a deeper insight into other producers of music magazines and can see what their inspiration was in creating their media products. This quizlet has boosted my overall knowledge on one magazine type which in hindsight tells me that when I create my music magazine that I will have to give it a specific background and specific image so that I have a firm basis to stick to when creating my final product.

Niche and Mass genre study

These Wordle's represent the many genre's that are out there in the media. When it comes to choosing a genre this will be a good place to refer to when I'm making my last decision as it shows all known niche and mass genre's. In making these Wordles I have a better insight into genres of music and actually prefer now Niche over Mass due to it's more interesting sub-genres. This will help when choosing my specific genre when creating my music magazine because there's better market for Mass music genres yet a possible market for niche genres, this will reinforce my research into my genre.

Q/MOJO analysis

I used Canva to make this small presentation to show my understanding of what my front cover will look like and this core understanding of different publishers shows what it takes for a magazine to be published in terms of design and genre. As an overlook it can be seen that Q and MOJO have a very high-in publicist behind them which can give them the boost to sell their magazine. In hindsight this will help me with my research as I look to be a possible online magazine which will allow my designs for my three set products to change as they can become more intricate but also a lot simpler.
