New magazine usually contian a text section and opinion page where their readers give thier views and opinions of the latest events in the magazine or social calender. I would like to include a smaller version of this page in my three page spread to add enhancement to the page.
Will be a small box that contains texts tha i can contrast with the tweets from the celebrities. This shows that i have covered all sections of a magazine and not just the views of celebrities as the views may vary between non-celebs.
To include this it would also fit in with the casual language used by new magazine, as the texts will have been sent in by the readers they will be worded the exact same way which means that some will be in text slang wear as others may be typed out correctly depending on the quote etc.

Costumes
Recreating outfits that could have been worn to the Royal wedding is slightly more difficult, although i cant recreate them match for match i can attempt to create ones that are just as elegent and in keeping with the styles that the guests wore.
Long skirts and dresses are key to the costumes with blazers being an optional attire to the outfits. The outfits need to be quite simple as this is what the majority of the guests achieved. Jewllery was also kept to a minimum however the majority of the guests opted to wear fascinators and hats that showed off their personaltiy slightly better than their outifts.

Make up
Due to the production peice being set in a trashy gossip magazine make up is important however, the event means that over the top make up is not right in the photo shoot. Make up like this can not be used for the photo shoot as although it may be in keeping with magazine and some of the other styles of articles it does not add credibilty to the event.
(photo off over done make up on my model )
This style of make up is however acceptable as it its understaed but clearly there, it means that the guests look credible to be going to a wedding and be part of the Royal Wedding.
(Include 2 photos of my models faces )
I used picture from the real event to get an estimate of the correct amount of make up to use and blended this with the reality of the magazine and the types of guests that are going to show in their article.
From the top three photo's you can see that nude colours are key to the make up and the understated look is best.
Photo's
The staging for my photo's will be an in action stance, as the idea is that i have taken the photo's as the guests are making their way to or in the church. This therefore means that the setting needs to be outside as this gives them credibility to be taken as if they was on the day.
This means that the photo's need to be full length, not nessesarily showing off the whole of the front of the body but enough to show the outift they are wearing. This allows me to include the "rate" or "slate" object of the peice.
The ratio of male to femal photo's will be 90% female 10% male. This is due to the magazine being of a gossip standard and its targetted audience are females. This means that it needs to be aimed at them and being able to form their own opinions on other womens outfits does this. Even though the magazine forms its own opinion on the outfits it appeals to the audience to be able to slate and rate them themselves, which is easier to do on females outfits rather than males.
The ratio of best and worst dressed across the page will be 70% best and 30% worst. After analysing other magazines ratios this is roughly the same, more attention is paid to the better dressed stars rather the worst dressed ones. This means that when staging my photo shoot i will need to create outfits that are not only fitting with the elegant theme but also ones that can be slated for not being appropraite as such.

New or Heat
After Anaylysing both magazines i have choosen to use New magazine as the basis of my production peice. This is due to the magazine containing more of the styles needed to support my own coursework. New magazine uses quotes, tweets, facts and extra information to each of its production peices and this will work well with my own piece, as it means that i can include extra wedding informtion instead of having the basic layout. New magazine is also one of the only magazines that use twitter to actually create a story, this allows me to include the social network site in my production which allows me to show the other side of the opinions. Heat magazine is simply to basic to use for my production as it sticks to set layouts and this wouldnt work well with my idea. By choosing to use New i can formally follow the magazines designs and it will look proffesional and real.
Fact versus Fiction
Using quotes from sites such as twitter indicates the use of facts. This is due to the site being a social network so the majority of people can see whats been said already, its easily obtained and readily available. Its also a primary source of information as it has been said straight from the celebrities mouths to thier twitte accounts.
This provides the article with truth and a basis for the rest of the evidence.
Another use of evidentual facts is pictures, by including these in the production pieces its showing the real thing in action. Photographic evidence can not be denyed therefore it provides factual back up to their story.
However there are fictional tendanceys to these articles- the article itself can be seen as fictional because its not an interveiw directly from the people's mouths. Therefore it could be completely made up and telling a fictional story, even though they may have tweets and photos, sometimes the story can say a different side to things that are not nessasarily shown in the photo's.
Another fictional use in the magazines is the idea of close sources to the celebrities. Most magazines include a quote or a statement that "supposidly" backs up their point, however they claim it to be from a close freind of the star, this therefore means that there is no factual evidnece and majority of the time this tends to be fiction, in order to give the story some justifaction or back up.
