2. How do i portray my jazz fans ? I believe I portrayed my
audience to be anenthusiastic audience who support theregenre of
music full heartedly, and are willing tosupport the genre of music
as is a notcommercial and does not get as many publicityas other
genres. 3. How do i portray my jazz fans ? Part 2 I tried to
portray my fans as being elegant andsmart hence the reason, I made
my themeblack and white, black and white is the colouryou would use
to address someone in a formalmanor, and also the colour you would
dress upto a sophisticated event. 4. How do i portray my jazz fans
? Part 3Jazz listeners are willing to pay money to seethere artist
perform live and dress up smart. jazz fans lifestyle is evolved
around jazz andinfluence many of their lifes styles. The bestway to
experience Jazz is life and tickets arenot cheap, and it usually a
night out wherethere will be other prices included and to
theaverage person this may be difficult to afford. 5. Jazz
Listeners Ethnicity groups Afro-Caribbeans , Afro Americans is
whereJazz began and many of these ethnicbackground still come and
support there music,a stereotypical Jazz costume would be; 6. Jazz
Listeners Ethnicity groups Part 2The Jazz audience simulates what
theperformers would wear, so at a jazz night youwould expect suits,
ties and hats and thewomen would also dress elegantly with dresses.
In my magazine I tried to portray this elementwith a twist of
youthfulness, I made my themeblack and white however, I used
youngermodels due to me being in a college (Lack ofolder models ).
This linked in well withfeatures in the magazine as, Im supporting
thedevelopmental stages of young artist throughhighlighting the
career. 7. How Does My Black & White ThemeRelate To the
audience By making my colour theme black and white and using
different types of mise en scene such as props instruments (on my
front cover). This is to help set a tone throughout the magazine
and to relate to my audience, which I used to further indicate my
magazine as being a formal magazine 8. Feed Back on How have I
representedJazz fansHow have I represented Jazz fans; By
representing Jazz, you are able to attractJazz fans. It is quite
formal; this would beappreciated by the audience. This feedback
suggest I connected well with myaudience as my magazine had an
formal layout 9. Is My portrayal positive or negative orbothI had a
few constructive feedbacks;Why did you use a white model instead of
a blackmodel I was looking for the ideal jazz look and myschool was
limited however, I agree the model Iused does not fit the
stereotypical Americanjazz artist. I do strongly believe we have
movedup in time and jazz is open to talent fromanywhere in the
globe and that is one of thepositive messages Im trying to portray
aboutJazz.. 10. Is My portrayal positive or negative orbothWhy did
you only use male artist Jazz is gender non- specific in this issue
he wasmy main focus, in future issues I would look tobring in
female artist, Im a jazz listener andfemales artist are just as
respected as men. I doagree I made a fundamental error and
shouldhave used a female model. When looking to improve my magazine
I wouldadd in a female model. My magazine may comeacross a bit male
dominant and I believe thatsa negative way of portraying jazz and
fans. 11. Audience Feed backMy main cover photo is a white English
male isthis the right ethnic group to represent jazz? Im not very
aware of your target audience,however I thought that Jazz artists
generallywere of afro/Caribbean descent, at leasthistorically.
However you do have anothermodel fitting this ethnicity so this is
quiterepresentative, and the fact that you used awhite male may
reflect the contemporarynature of this magazine. - Yusuf Akhoon 12.

still command a ferventaudience response. Listen to the live
version of A Love Supreme,recorded in 1965. At the conclusion of
the suite, the audience applaudsenthusiastically and is
demonstratively upset that there is not more tofollow. In this
extract they speak about how enthusiastic the audience is, when
doingresearch about the audience I found this useful as I based my
masthead onJohn Coltrane and this backs up my point of how
influential he was in the jazzscene, and also gives me an idea of
way a Jazz crowd behaves. 13. Research Part 2In this extract from
