The magazine I chose was the NME magazine, I analysed all the different techniques used to make this and looked at them closely to figure out the following questions.

Who is the audience, how do you know?                                                        

I would say the target audience is for around sixteen to thirty year olds, I would say this because the magazine is all about up to date music, music that people nowadays listen to and enjoy, therefore I wouldn’t say that the old aged band of people would be interested in looking at the magazine never mind buying it. I think this is a good aged group to set the audience for as I think it relates to the  magazine in a lot of ways.

What is the text selling?                                                                                                                                                                                                I think the text is selling the more up to date outcome and trying to push across that if you buy this magazine your following that group which is all the people in which relate to this magazine and always buy it, they always buy it because its full of up to date music and information about the people in which the target audience likes.

What sort of attitude/tone does it have?                                                                                                                                                  

I think that the magazine has a sort of outgoing attitude in which it is ready to grab people and draw them in to buy the magazine, I know this because the front cover and fonts in which are used are bold and eye catching. I think the magazine company do this because they know they have to compete against other

Consider the ideology of the text, valued/ believed in?

Information on my chosen coursework.

The coursework I've chosen to work with is the music magazine. I chose this because i think i can work better using the magazine techniques rather than the techniques used when making a film trailer, i think i would look more into the indie acoustic type of music as i really like that music type and it is something i am familiar with, choosing this i should be able to go into more detail about the music type and be able to expand more on my magazine. I would like my coursework in the end to look very formal and professional with a good variety of techniques used and to be able to me to reach the higher mark bands i am willing to research more about magazines in which i will be basing my own on for more help and guidance, i think i would research more about the colours in which i think may work well together and the fonts i could use.
