This document summarizes a music magazine from 2012 featuring Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner on the cover. The magazine's house style uses the colors red, white, and sky blue. The cover aims to attract Arctic Monkeys fans by featuring Turner holding the record that changed his life. Inside, the magazine's layout and use of the masthead in the top left corner follow standard conventions for music magazines.
The magazine cover uses bold fonts, red lettering, and high key lighting on the lead singer's face to immediately catch the viewer's attention. The main image features the singer holding a vinyl record, representing the magazine's rock/indie style. Color schemes and fonts are consistently used throughout the cover lines and main lines to emphasize artists and quotes while maintaining the vintage aesthetic. Design principles effectively fill space with images and text without overcrowding, corresponding to the indie theme.
The document discusses editing techniques used to create different effects for various video clips. For a fire clip, slow motion and full speed parts were filmed on an iPhone and edited in Premiere Pro by cutting and adjusting speeds. A rings clip was made to look anxious by applying black and white and color adjustments, then speeding it up. A reverse eye clip was achieved by reversing an 80% slowed down clip to make makeup appear wiped up.
Media technologies were used throughout the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages of the project. YouTube was used to research music videos for influence and ideas. Google Images provided magazine layouts for analysis, but lacked modern content. Social media allowed opinions and discussions around the band to be found. Premier Pro and After Effects were used to edit the video, while Audition attempted but failed to remove background noise. The finished video was distributed on YouTube and social media to reach a wide audience. Photoshop and DaFont were used to create professional-looking ancillary materials that supported the video.
Media technologies played an important role in the production of the music video. YouTube was used extensively for research and finding influence from other music videos. Google Images provided sample magazine layouts but lacked more modern examples. Various cameras including a Canon, iPhones, and Nikon were used to film footage but presented challenges in post production. Premier Pro and After Effects were the primary editing software, though rendering issues were encountered. Audition failed to remove unwanted background noise. YouTube and social media helped with distribution by sharing the video widely and allowing others to discover it through searches and associations.
