Media Analysis: NME Contents Page
Text: The
text is used in similar colours to the front cover which fits in with the idea
of ‘branding’ the magazine with NME’s mark; this is done though the colour and
font of the text. Another familiar idea is that the text is in the chosen
colours to help it stand out to the reader – it does this with the colours of
red, white and black, making the titles and/or headings stand out clearly. In
terms of information the contents page includes the typical features such as
title, index and page references.
Setting:
Once again a setting is not really necessary however the image used on the
contents page does contain some form of setting unlike the cover page. The
setting is the artist’s home environment – performing on stage – this gives us
a feel for the artist’s style and confidence in his job.
Props: Here
props are used – unlike with the cover- as the artists show there instruments
clearly in the image which connotes there musical talent to the audience and
once again adds the natural music feel to the magazine.
Costume: The
costume is casual and natural, the actual clothes he wore for the specific gig
are shown and this makes the whole thing more realistic.
Lighting: In
general to keep in the NME style the lighting is bright however in the image it
does turn darker, perhaps due to the stage lights or perhaps deliberately to
connote danger and mystery from the artist’s image.
NVC’s: The
artists face are fairly hidden in the photo making NVC’s hard to judge however
they seem to be calm and happy which adds positive effect to the magazine.
