The Media Theoretical Framework and the Nine Forms of Media

The Media Theoretical Framework 

There are 5 areas of the media theoretical framework and they are:
  • Media Language
  • Media Representation
  • Media Industries
  • Media Audience
  • Media Context

  Media Language
Media language is the way in which text is made to connote a meaning for the audience. For example, if you're dressed in a certain colour like white it will connote that you are pure and clean and innocent. However, if you are wearing black it would connote a negative background.

Media Representation 
Media representation is shown in a stereotypical way. For example, in most movies and television programmes the mean girls are always blonde and not smart. It can also be related to religion, ethnicity, sexuality and gender.

Media Industries
The way the media may be promoted or distributed but also it's position in media.

 Media Audience
The way the media forms a target and the way audience is approached. Its the way the audience thinks of the text and the way they respond to it. 

Media Context
This is the basic background information on a piece of media. For example, social, historical or economic.

PRELIM - Statement of Intent

PRELIM -Statement of Intent I intend to produce the front cover and contents page of a fashion magazine. My magazine is targeted at 14-18 year olds that will be interested in fashion. The language that will be used will be a very unique type that will be different to real magazines. The camera shots used on the front cover will be either a close up or a medium shot that will mainly focus on the type of fashion this magazine is based on. This will also make the model look as if she is trying to communicate with the reader from her angle of gaze. The outfit that the model will be wearing on the cover will be from what the audience preferred to see when they answered a few questions on my survey. This will give me a little confidence that my target audience will definitely read my magazine as it’s what my audience wants to see. My magazine front cover will have a very simple font that will mainly have upper case letters. The name of magazine is La Moda which means fashion in English...

PRELIM - Test Shots

These are my test shots that i took before i started to take my magazine pictures. As I was taking these i thought about the angles and poses that my picture should have. I thought about the lighting as well and made sure that my models facial features were clear to see. Most of these shots were a little of having fun and trying out new ways that would probably be good for my magazine pictures. These shots were taken in the studio with limited lighting but it was great to explore the shots that I took as I got experience by taking pictures with the school camera and to try and experiment with different angles and shots.
