Introduction

This blog has been created for the purpose of my AS level media studies for my Chislehurst School magazine which will include a front cover and a contents page. The purpose of a school magazine is to inform parents and careers everything necessary that they need to know, about either the school, students or so on.

In order to create this school magazine it is essential that I research magazines to find out what a normal magazine usually looks like to give me a idea on what I need to do. Whilst looking at these magazines I need to analyse; mise en scene, composition, framing, focus, foreground, the colour, the lighting, the background, text and the audience, as these are all the things i need to include, to succeed, whilst making my school magazine.

A school magazine is a form of publishing information to through a magazine. School magazines used to be disseminated to the readers by being passed through the children to parents and careers or given out through the school, however this has changed as now days school magazines are electronically given out via email to parents and careers and now usually a newsletter. They are usually made by designated students or teachers/adults to make them. The audience for school magazines are usually parents or careers for the students that attend that school,as if they give information which is necessary for them and inform them what is going on, everything they need to know. Each school, either grammar, secondary or primary school has a different school magazine as they may be done different or each information is different for each school.
