Q2 : HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULARSOCIAL GROUPS?
      

The target audience for my music magazine is teenagers – both female and male genders who are pop listeners. I represented this particular social group by using images that are used in my music magazine.  The first thing I did is I choose models that represent the social groups that I’m targeting which this was two females that are aged 16 and 17.

Also it is important the way you present your music magazine, the front cover is the first element to attract the particular social group that i'm aiming for . Which it is crucial the way the models are dressed and also the way they are posed, which this would make it clear for those who read pop magazine to pick up my music magazine form the shelf.

 Firstly i have taken a long shot camera angle . This is because the image (front cover) should be attractive and be suitable for the audience social group that i am aiming for. I have chosen pink color tones of clothing for my models this is because the magazine’s genre is pop. The two models are wearing ; the one on the left is wearing a hot pink tunic style top with black leggings and the one on the right is wearing a soft pink jumper that has a writing on it saying ‘smile’ she is also wearing a black leggings underneath the jumper. This look creates a feminine stereotypical pop female artist like ‘Katy Perry’. In addition not only the clothes creates a feminine look but also the jewelleries on the model gives that feminine style. Similarly the clothing and accessories is quite fashionable and also is linked to the concept, links to the genre of the music magazine.  

The tattoo on the models arm is presented in my shot because I wanted to attract the eye of my target audiences and could be from any social group. The tattoo is in Chinese  which this can relate to any ethnic group. The pose of the models can look like RnB but it is a pop magazine so I made the two female models pose in a position that they look feminine attractive but also dominant and masculine.
