Successful media students must understand how conventions are used to create meaning for audiences. You need to be able to analyse your own set product as part of your work on music magazines and being able to compare it with other types of music magazines.
Think carefully how you would use the Media Theoretical Framework to analyse your copy of MOJO.
- Language - deconstruct the magazine front cover using media terminology (the conventions of magazines are all written in your book).
- Audience - explain who the audience is and what uses and gratifications they get from reading this magazine (use the handout which looks closely at audience appeal to help you use the correct media terminology).
- Representation - how is appeal constructed through the content in the magazine? Find out more about the artists featured and consider why they would appeal to the readership of MOJO using your own knowledge.
- Industry - who is generating a profit from the sale of the product and how is that a successful business model in the current context where magazine readership has been declining?
Task: Today's work is all about Media Language. Complete the task included on the handout here. You can print this out, or create your own Microsoft Word document to complete the work.
