These are location shots I took for my main task, the locations include the echo arena and the cavern club.

Plan of shot locations for main task

Tomorrow I will be taking location shots in liverpool, which will be used as a basis for my final main task shots. The pictures below are examples of what I want my actors to do when I take my final shots.

Online magazine - Monkey

Monkey is an magazine published by Dennis, which is exclusively online and on mobile platforms. It contains video and audio content in both editorial and advertising. Each 48-page issue features: a Cover girl shoot, cars, sport, humour, entertainment, gadgets, and clothes. The magazine is aimed at 16 to 30 year olds, with a current readership of 271,667.

Bauer Media

Bauer Media has more than 80 media brands which cover many different genres and are aimed at many different audiences, these range from music magazines such as Kerrang and Mojo to radio stations like Magic and Kiss, they also own Heat, 4Music and Grazia among many others.

It started out as a small printing house, now The Bauer Publishing Group has grown into a worldwide publishing and media company. The Bauer Publishing Group comprises 282 magazines worldwide in 15 countries, as well as TV and radio stations. Bauer started its business the UK with the launch of Bella magazine in 1987 and as H Bauer Publishing became Britain's third largest publisher. Bauer further expanded in the UK with the purchase of Emap Consumer Media and Emap Radio in 2008 to become the UK's biggest publishing group.

Deciding the Institution for main task.

The institution I have chosen to publish my magazine is IPC Media, because they only have one music magazine (NME) so there is a gap in the market for a magazine similar in style and genre to Kerrang magazine (owned by Bauer media)  .

Another reason I have chosen IPC is that NME is a highly successful music magazine which stretches across a range of media, and is read by around 1.1 million people every week, this means there is a good chance of my music magazine being successful as well.

Although there would be a gap in the market for a Kerrang-type magazine at the National magazine company the reason I didn't choose to use the National magazine company was because, that company doesn't have a successful music magazine of any genre currently on the market. 

Research for choosing a magazine institution

IPC Media - has over 60 media brands, and they come in multiple media forms ranging from magazines to online. It reaches 26 million UK adults, nearly two thirds of women and over 40% of men.

EMAP - specialises in business-to-business magazines, of which it has 20. In its history it has had other magazines which have since ceased to be published, especially a fair number of gaming magazines they produced which stopped being published in the mid-90s.

National magazine company (now Hearst Magazines UK) - publishes 19 magazines in the UK, none of which are music magazines and it also has several websites, some of these are connected with a print magazine but the rest are stand-alone websites.
