Music Magazine Planning Ideas

The music genre I chose to do is Bachata/Reggaeton.
Bachata and reggaeton is quite the same. However, reggaeton is more fast pase whereas bachata is more for slow dancing.

My masthead will be called "Bachatera". I am using this for my masthead as my genre is about bachata but also the word bachatera is for girls who likes to listen and dance bachata.

My headline will be "

My target audience is young adults (girls) from 15+ because "Bachatera" means a girl who likes listening to bachata and also who likes dancing bachata.
It would be distributed for everyone who wants to learn more about bachata and reggaeton but also its for latino people who wants to know any new songs for the genre or wants to catch up on any bachata/reggaeton related topics.

My masthead would have a curvy type font to it as it will show that it is aimed for girls and also having a more creative curvy type font would attract girls more instead of using block capital letters like most magazines.

The shots I am thinking of using is either a mid shot or full body shot.
I am thinking of taking a mid shot because it will show a couple together the boy being behind the girl and the boys hands will be on the girls shoulders, both smiling at the camera.
The full body shot would be if the couple is going pose in a way that it looks like they're doing a dance move but they're looking at the camera at the same time making it look like the camera is where they are going when they dance.

Mise-en-scene:
The location i am thinking of using is mainly dance halls because they usually have good lighting also dancing is mainly in dance halls due to parties or any lessons.
The clothing for the girl would be a dress above the knees or a skirt. The dress or skirt would be a red/pink colour to because the genre is mainly about romance. The top would be a white sleeveless top.
For the boy he will be wearing a suit but with no tie and the shirt will be in red to show romance.
For props the girl might be holding a rose to show more about romance in bachata.

For my sell lines I would be based around people entering any bachata/reggaeton competitions or attending any lessons to learn how to dance bachata or to learn new/more bachata dance moves.
My sell lines would also include an exclusive interview with a well known bachata artist/s such as Prince Royce or xtreme.

My double spread page would be how a couple discovered about Bachata music and how it got them to start making bachata music along side with discovering there is a certain way to dance bachata and how they started learning how to dance to bachata songs.

Headline ideas:
- Bachata, new music we never thought we'd find.
- Discover a whole new world of Bachata.
- Bachata puts us on the spotlight.

Student magazine photo shoot

I wouldn't use this picuture as it is landscape and to conform with the magazines convention the image should be portrait not landscape.

This image is landscape however I wouldn't use this picture as the background of books is balanced with the image and the actual image is squashed at the bottom it is not the center.

I will be using this image as the model is centered at the middle, it is a close up shot and it conforms with the magazine's convention.
