B. Evaluation: Forms and Conventions



To evaluate my forms and conventions I have used these screen grabs to show how I have responded to the forms and conventions of the rock music genre. I have chosen ‘Band’ as my magazine title as the band culture is a big part of the rock genre. I have used the ‘Deparaved’ font from ‘www.dafont.com’. I think that this has worked well as it has targeted a specific part of the audience but has also left a wide enough section as well.

The mise-en-scene of the images in my magazine is shown mainly through the costumes and props. I have used the costumes to give my models a ‘rockstar’ look and also I have used the props to show this such as the drum sticks, sunglasses and cowboy hat. I have chosen my models because they all have a similar look to the stereotypical ‘rockers’ for example they all have long hair. I think that the mise-en-scene of this magazine has been effective in representing the forms and conventions of the genre.

For my written content I have used a casual style of language but haven’t used any crude language. I have also suggested the genre of the magazine by using a dark colour scheme and used the conventions. I think that I have successfully showed my understanding of the forms and conventions of the genre as I have used these elements in my magazine.
