Mise-en-scene and Location Ideas

For my college magazine, I will not include just one theme. I will cater my college magazine to a wide variety of students in order to broaden my target audience. I will do this by including shots of the sports team as smaller images on the front of my magazine cover, as well as science experiments and possibly theater studies. My main image will feature a male and a female, in class progressing with their work. I have decided to include a male and a female in order to portray that the magazine doesn't just appeal to males or females but both. By placing both my models in the classroom environment, this illustrates that these two models are acting as determined students who are aiming to achieve high grades through the use of their body language. I will include textbooks and notepads in the frame in order to reinforce to the audience that this magazine is a college magazine.

In order to portray that my magazine will be aimed at sports students as well as theater students, I will include Wyke's sports kit on the models in the frame. By doing this, I will easily attract members of a sports team into purchasing this magazine as they are aware it appeals to them.

I will have the students wearing their regular clothing as at college, students don't have tow ear uniform therefore I feel that by including a uniform, the audience of my magazine will be put off purchasing it as they may believe the magazine is aimed at students younger than them. By including a uniform, this will challenge the ideology of the title of my magazine, as it is called 'Graduate' and therefore by adding a uniform into the frame, this illustrates a high level on contrast for my magazine.

As the colour scheme is purple, white and green, I will make sure I include a green notepad or textbook in my framing in order to support the ideology of my magazine.
