research work

in the first two sessions of research, i looked at the different types of music magazine that available to buy right now.
i looked at the mise-en-scene of the cover, the target audience, the advertising in the magazine, the genre and the editing techniques that are used.
This is what i found on Q magazine.

-         Was originally ‘Cue’ as in a record cue, but was changed to ‘Q’ so they were not mistaken for the snooker magazine.

-         Mise on scene; white background with half of the page taken up by the cover star.

-         Target audience; men over 18 with disposable income.

-         Advertising; car adverts, alcohol adverts, clothing adverts.

-         Genre; mainstream bands, indie bands, studio rock bands.
