Proposal
Target Audience - My magazine will be aimed at 15 to 25 year olds of both genders, i have chosen this age because the text will be more interlectually written and have technical terms instead of a casual feel. I have also chosen this age because the price of the magazine will be around £3.50 in price because it will be provided monthly and also aimed to seem affordable to most socio economic groups.
Genre - The genre of my magazine will be Electro. It will include both live music reviews and interviews with both established and up and coming artists, it will also include a small section on fashion, art and gear.
Institution - The magazine will be sold in record shops and most specialist shops which sell similair equipment or fashion but also sold in wh smith's as it provides all types of magazine genres.

School Magazine - Ideas
My idea for the name of the school magazine is 'Switch' it is simple and implies style. The reason behind the name is switching information or even trading information, anyone can have an input if it is reasonable.
My main colour scheme ideas is to use majestic colours like burgandy and dark greens, matching with a simple white base colour.
I will use a serif text to further imply the majestic and proud yet stylish feel.

Mise-En-Scene - Notes
1. Costume
Choose carefully the style of hair, makeup and costume of subject in the photograph.
2. Location
Consider what image mood or atmosphere you are trying to create. Choose your location with this in mind.
3. Lighting and colour
Again this should compliment the atmosphere e.g sense of age use sepia, vibrant energy choose primary colours, Wealth or opulence highlight greens, golds or silvers, sinister or macabre choose blacks or purples.
4. Props
Part of the setting, this must compliment the intention e.g a cup of tea in a delicate china tea cup might not be the chosen drink of a drug addled heavy rockstar.
When analysing photographs or taking them you must be able to explain the Mise-en-scene.
