2-How does your media product represent particular social
groups?
The two models on my front cover seem quite ordinary in
their dress and overall appearance. Their mop haircuts show a youthful image.
Also, their moody attitude yet represents the late teenage (white male) whilst
using eye contact to portray them as unthreatening and approachable. Additionally,
the article/interview which features on the double page spread shows a chilled
out attitude which teenagers mainly possess and mentions drinking and drug
taking which could also represent many social groups associated with that.
My magazine also represents teenagers as there is offers for
free posters and free concert tickets which mainly attracts teens/early 20’s.
Similarly, the offer presenting concerts for less than £100 could represent
that the magazine is aimed at the working class which is reinforced by the
cheap price of the magazine.
The names of most of the music artists listed in my contents
page are quite unusual (Beautiful mess, Karma Killers) this represents these
young artists, as well as the magazine its self, as being very unique and
creative which reinforced the individual sound of music and style of the
magazine.
The images in the contents page represents the social groups
who enjoy live music – concerts and festivals as the two images of Bruno Mars
and The Wombats are light and friendly taken outside whereas the You Me at Six
photograph shows a darker light which could reflect their type of music. The age groups therefore show a variety as all
three musicians attract different target audiences but mainly from teens to
early 30’s.
