Diary Entry 10
This lesson I have been doing my Mise En Scene for my photoshoot. I chose specific pictures which showed the clothes I decided to include and I wrote about why I chose those clothes and where I got my inspiration from.
I also did all of my drafts for my double page spreads, front cover and contents page. I will scan them onto the computer and put them on my blog when I can, seeing as I was able to do it from home. When I was coming up with ideas for my draft, I looked online at NME and Q front covers, double page spreads and contents pages because I thought a good mixture of my ideas and real things that are included in indie/rock magazines would turn out very nicely.

Mise en Scene
When deciding what clothes I wanted my model to wear, I tended to look online at festival fashion and indie/rock looks.
Leather Look: I knew I was going to include my leather jacket in the images because it's a vital element when it comes to rock fashion.
Denim: I also wanted to include a festival look for my photoshoot. When researching festival looks I found that denim shorts were very popular so I decided I definitely wanted to include them in my photoshoot.
Checkered shirts and biker boots: When I was researching festival and rock/indie fashion, I also found lots of images of biker boots and checkered shirts. I felt that these items of clothing really fit in with my genre well.
Second Look: I made my model keep the leather jacket on but change her shirt and skirt. She wears a red skirt which connotes passion and danger, which I felt gave her a more rock-like edginess which was definitely something I wanted to convey, to fit the genre.

Diary Entry 8
For the last few lessons I have been working on my article draft and finishing off my schedule. I have finished most of my article draft, I just need to make sure it is interesting and exciting enough for my target audience. Also, on Monday I did my magazine photo shoot which went extremely well. I did an indoor shoot and and outdoor shoot and both turned out great. I will need to do a contact sheet to display all my images that I took which I will do in the next few lessons. I also did a time lapse video for my indoor photo shoot which I have been putting together and adding music to, to make it more engaging. Also, when I did my outdoor photo shoot I got another media student to photograph me and my model, so I could display have a behind the scenes video on my blog.

Diary Entry 7
Today I uploaded my masthead designs, edited my labels for my diary entries and completed my schedule. My schedule included what I have completed for my magazine so far, and what I need to do in the order I will do it. I also scanned my model release form onto my computer and uploaded it onto my blog. To upload my schedule, I had to put it on to scribd and make it a scribd document. In my schedule, I highlighted the tasks which I have completed in green to make it clear which tasks have been done, and which are yet to be completed. I edited my labels for my diary entries to make it simpler to access each entry. Now, all diary entries have the same label so it is easier to find them.

Diary Entry 6
This week I have been finishing and improving my Magazine Proposal. To do this, I looked on the haydong321 hub blog so I knew exactly what needed to be included. Mainly, I added to content, business, synergy, target audience, competition to my magazine and why it will succeed. I found this task very helpful because I thought more about the specifics of my magazine and how I want it to look. I also randomly chose one of my name ideas ('BEAT')and started experimenting with fonts and colours for my masthead. I need to put my name idea fonts document onto my blog and will do so in my next lesson.
