Title of Publication
The title of the magazine is Doctor Who which is also named after the drama series as well. The colour of the title is in a grey cloudy colour which is also the background colour. The head of Matt Smith (the doctor) covers the title slightly this shows that he is important and well known. It is placed on the top third so that it is easily visible. The cover image is familiar to the audiences therefore the title stands out.
Slogan
The slogan is in big and white writing, it's catchy and it is meant to stick in the readers mind. It sums up the magazines image as it covers the medium main picture.
Central Image
Most magazines tend to employ a single image whereas this magazine has one centre image and 2 people around him. The look on Matt Smith's face is serious and straight. The centre image which is of the doctor is a strong central image which servers to anchor the cover which provides it with weight and focus. Matt Smith is gazing into the camera so are the other 2 people on the magazine cover. This shows the audience that the people on the magazine are directly addressing them.
Free offer
Magazines sometimes come with free small gifts. In this Doctor Who magazine, there is a competition which reads 'competition win free gifts such as DVD's and Blue Ray DVD's' this is to persuade the audience more into buying the magazine as they are getting something free out of it which audiences like. This gift is closely targeted at the magazines core consumers.
Cover Lines
Once the main image or images are placed on the background, the cover lines will be strategically placed around it so as to advertise the contents of the magazine. In this magazine all the cover lines are placed in the middle rather than most magazines which place their cover lines around the picture. The main cover line is always and most likely in bold and large writing, this usually connects with the central image.
Ill Manors Chat Show Soccer Am With Ben Drew.
Plan B was on the Soccer Am show on Jan 19th 2010. This was before he realised his movie and music video ill Manors. On this chat show he talks about being different from everyone else and not promoting girls and alcohol in his music videos like other rappers. On the chat show Plan B talks about how he has just realised a music video with his original voice rather than rapping he's produced a solo single. He talks about him learning to play the guitar from an early age. Plan B says he wants to experiment on everything that's why his next single would of been a reggae song.
This chat show was before Plan B made his movie therefore he does not speak about in the chat show, he does empathises his unique believes and values. The audience watching this show using the socio demo-graphics are C1, C2 and D, these are those with decent incomes and those who have spare time to waste. We could argue that the groups B would watch this show as it has to do with football.
Ill Manors Website/Chat Show Analysis
Plan B was on the Jonathan Ross show which was aired on ITV, this show has been attended by big celebrities such as Cheryl Cole, Rosie Huntington, and Mo Farah which was there with him. Plan B attended this show not to promote his movie or music video Ill Manors but was here to promote himself as an artist. Plan B talks about his rapping being poetry rather than it consisting of lots of naked girls and alcohol which is typical these days. Plan B is different to other rappers as he is unique and special in what he does. On the chat show he doesn't dress up in fancy clothes or empathises his 'fame'.
The audience for this show using the demo-graphics are C1, C2, B, these are usually the successful and wealthy people. ITV has strong ethical brand values and it is a family channel. Despite Plan B being from the estate 'chav' background he was still considered as being unique and was invited to the show. Plan B or the interviewer doesn't mention his movie or his music video during his chat with Jonathan but discusses himself as an artist

5.
Revolver Entertainment
6.Well lots of young people was interested in because Plan B directed so therefore it was very easy to spared because young people spared things they like every easily. Also there was a lot of buzz on YouTube especially SBTV (YouTube Channel based around new young talents like rappers) which showed behind the scenes of the film a lot.
7. This varies from a blockbuster in the actors it incorporates and also the advertising styles it uses. However it is similar to a blockbuster due to its stunts and nifty camerawork which help mask the fact it has a downgraded budget compared to a blockbuster film.
8. The trailer balances the plot as it itself has a equilibrium, disequilibrium and new equilibrium which give the trailer more depth and helps balance it.

Plan B - ill Manors official video
Media Representation:
Within the video the masculinity of men is shown they shown as dominate men and this relates to the theory of Berger which goes as such 'Men act women appear'. The stereotype by Medhurt where men are stereotypically more controlling and dominant. The 'youth' are featured in this video as this is aimed at their lifestyles, the story Plan B is trying to tell is that council estate kids aren't as bad as they are portrayed. In the scenes of violence and looting we see mostly young men carrying out these acts as typically boys are more misbehaved then girls. The age range is 16-35 year old's, we see all ages from this age band. The ethnic groups represented the most in this video are White British and Black African, these ethnicities are those who typically live in estate houses and are those who caused the riots.
Media Institution:
The video of Plan B's ill manors is very diverse, low key lighting has been used and you can see in the video there isn't lots of 'girls and alcohol' which is typically seen in rap video.This shows his unique and creative side to hip-hip which he refers to 'poetry'. Even though plan B wants to show a different side to estate kids he still shows them creating havoc and disturbing people. Plan B believes that the media washes people to believe something and then they start believing that and judging peoples ability, this is also a line in his music video. Another message Plan B gives in his music video is that schools out and communities are closed and they have nothing to do that's why they are rioting which makes sense they're young and bored and they are being labelled therefore they think it is right to do what they are doing. In this video Plan B shows his truth and how he grew up and got kicked out of school, he's trying to say that the media glamorise things that shouldn't be such as gadgets and latest phones rather than helping those who need help.
Media Audience:
I believe this music video can relate to everyone not only teenagers. This video can relate to those celebrities who have been brought up in council estate houses and have come so far to reflect on these situations that are still on-going. The video consists of youth actors in the video but the messages portrayed in the music video are fit enough for adults that are mature to understand. I think the music video is based on the social demographics E, D, C2, C1 the reason for this is because the B and A category are too strict and have a tunnel vision on the youth. Based on the lifestyle classification by Young and Rubicam the groups are struggler's and reformers this is because struggler's are like estate youths they're struggling to become something whereas reformers want to make a change due to where they come from.
The cover line 'I can't trust anyone' would appeal to our film because in there something similar happens, the double personality of the serial killer can relate to his girlfriends feelings of him being unfaithful and not trust worthy. This cover line is really catchy and if we had an exclusive interview with Rob Pattison and his ex-girlfriends cheating scandal would be good for our magazine cover.
The cover line 'Yes they're in love' is another very catchy cover line, this would appeal to the E4 target audience, there's a twilight exclusive which appeals to the E4 audience aswell. Similarly to our production the couple are in love.

This seventeen magazine covers the E4 target audience (15-35). On this magazine there is a very catchy cover line 'Total dating confidence, flirty lines guys can't resist'. This cover line fits perfectly for the age range 15-35 E4 audience.

This magazine has a cover line in black 'Beef up your skills' as my magazine cover will consist of a male's image this cover line would work really well with it. 15-35 year old's are fit and young therefore will be interested in these sort of things.
This is also another Men's health magazine which has an interesting cover line for men 'Build 6kg of hard muscle' this cover line would also be appealing to most young males as growing your muscles is something most men are keen on. This would look good on my magazine cover because my magazine cover has a male's photo on it.
