I specifically chose my questions in order for me to get a perspective of my participants. For example I used Maslow's Hierarchy of needs in question 7, 12 and 13. For example, 7 shows that Friendship and Respect were the most important to my audience. This means that esteem and love/belonging are what appeals most to my participants.
I attempted to find out my paticipant's NRS Social Grades by asking them about their parent's occupations. Finding out the salary of their occupations would help me find each participants social grades.
Thirdly I looked into the Psycographics in marketing, advertising and sales. This is why I used the last three questions. I was trying to find out if any of my participants were brand loyal. If they were they would belong to the Belonger category. Then i asked question 17 to see if they prioritise their work and always want to be the greatest in their work. If so, they would belong to the Acheiver category. Lastly, I asked question 18 to see whether the people try to promote themselves to the likes of the achievers. If this was the case, they would fit into the emulator category.
Below is my questionnaire, each question has it's own results. The paticipants will have their numbers in brackets next to their chosen answer.

Original Photography
Photo shoot with keiran Froom and will Walters
Above and below, a medium close up of two people, where their clothes stand out against a background. We chose to take these pictures against the brick wall, and the clothes been worn were dark and made the brick work look delicate.
This shot was careful use of framing. We chose the trees to frame the picture as they surround the main focus in a controlled way.
We used a rose as our interesting texture as it is built up if layers and shades, and the grass behind adds to the texture of the rose.
This was a low angled shot, we were stood on a wall while the photographer was stood on the floor so we could get a good quality low angled shot.
This was another shot for careful use of framing.
This was a shot we took as an interesting textured back ground, it has a creepy and haunted feel to it.
This was a photo which we used to demonstrate the rule of thirds.
This photo demonstrates juxtaposition, we took a delicate and beautiful rose and put it with a rough and worn wall.
This was another low angled mid shot. below and above.

Below is the link for the photography work we did within class.
Keeksy's Coursework Blog: Photo shoot with keiran Froom and will Walters:
I have also deconstructed some professional photography of my chosen music artist. In my case it is Keith Flint who is the lead singer of The Prodigy.
This Photo is a medium shot as it show him from his waiste up.
In this photo, he is giving the audience a direct mode of address.The clothing he is wearing partner his image, he looks very grungey- there isn't a chance any of his clothes would be designer. Yet there could be some juxtaposition with the representation of the American Flag being freedom yet the sadness withing his eyes could be representing him being trapped and wanting to be free. The lighting used is coming from the right hand side of this medium close up. It is effective as it casts dark shadows on the wall behind him and casts the right hand side of his face into darkness giving an essence of mystery. The image seems to be set in an underground location (this is judging by the shape of the cieling behind him). This may be significant as it could be the same underground place where their hit single Firestarter was recorded.The expression on his face is one of great seriousness. He could be described as looking midly depressed. The eyeliner around his eyes really makes it feel as if he's looking into you which may be thee effect that was intended. His body language seems very stiff and rugged which could make us believe he is tense or angry. He also has many facial piercing's which is stereotypical of the punk look Keith Flint is going for. the setting around him seems very bland and dull, which draws the focus to Keith Flint as we are not distracted by anything else.
Above is a magazine front cover featuring my chosen artist from my chosen music genre. Again it feature Keith Flint. This may be a somewhat plain cover yet it does have a few steriotypical elements of an electronica article. There is a promotion of 'The top 50 clubs in Britain'. This is significant as clubs are famed for playing electronica music to the masses. This is why Keith Flint appears on the cover as The Prodigy's Electronica music will feautre in these clubs. There is an above angle shot used which shows the whole profile of his body on the photograph. There is also specific focus on his face which has an aggressive wild expression. This relates to their music which can be described as the same. He is dressed wildly and combined with his piercings and his hair, this creates a wild look wich is perfect for this music genre.

My own Magazine Genre
Now i will decide which kind of music and scene i shall base my own music magazine piece on. After some thought and consideration I arrived at the music Genre of Electronica. I have been a lifelong fan of this kind of music. After being brought up on the likes of Gary Numan etc. i wished to pursuit the modern Electronica scene. To inspire ideas for the style of my magazine, I created a Gloggster page on all of the Elctronica artists i could think of. (see below)
An example of the music in specific would be the song Cars by Gary Numan and a more mordern type of electronica can be shown in the song Feel Good by Modestep:
Also, i have a link to a news article which features Daft Punk. Within the article we see how Electronic artists get their music discovered and how it can be timeless as it would still be popular amongst fans today:

Hello, and welcome to my Media Music Magazine Coursework Blog!
Welcome to the first blog of my magazine coursework project. Over the course of this blog i will show you how i have built up the ideas for my music magazine. I am particularly interested in Genre's like Drum 'n' Bass, R&B, Hip-Hop and 80's Electronica music. Artists that i am interested in are- Pendulum, The Prodigy, David Guetta, Soft Cell, Thompson Twins, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, De La Soul, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Chase & Status, Sub Focus, Dizzee Rascal and Madness.
The natural choice of magazine for me to study would be on that entirely focused on Music. Magazines such as Rolling Stone, Q and NME would be good role models for my own project. Q is a magazine which covers a range of music genres from Rock and Roll to Hip-Hop. Therefore the audience of this magazine stretches across many groups of people. The Way the articles or written, this magazine would appeal to teen-agers and adults. I'd say this may appeal more to men however would have the same appeal to general music lovers. According to NRS Readership Estimates on www.nrs.co.uk, Q is mostly read by men aged 15-44. over 4 times as many men in that age category read this magazine than those over 45. Also, 3 times the amount of men read this magazine than women. Q is the most popular monthly music magazine. However, Kerrang and NME are extremely popular weekly music magazines. Here is a link to the Q Magazine website: http://www.qthemusic.com/
