Question 2

How does the Media Product represent a particular social group?

I tried a variety of different ways to represent my target social group within my magazine. this was my first image which i used for my double page spread article, this image fitted well with the article as the article reflected her rebellious attitude. When i took this image i asked Ellie if she could lean towards the camera as i thought it would give a forward serious impression which is what i aimed for, the clothing on Ellie is black and red which matches the color scheme of 'Epic mag'. The clothing is fashionable and fits well as the magazine is aimed at 16-24 year olds so the readers can relate.

This image was used for contents page, i have used the same pose as the main image showing the rock sign with the hand, i wanted her to do this again as i think it looks effective for the genre i was aiming for. Ellie looks serious in all of the images i have taken as it looks more professional and fits well. The clothing that she is wearing not only matches the color scheme of my magazine but also looks fashionable so that the younger generation can relate which is more addressing and eye catching for the readers. 

 

This is the main image for the front cover, this is my favorite image of them all as i feel that Ellie looks like a 'rock star' which is what i was aiming for. I chose this one as i felt that the main image for the front cover needed to be the most appealing for the buyers. This image is effective because it's the typical pose for a 'Kerrang!' main image artist.
