Evaluation Question 2 - The images How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Posture:

In terms of posture the images are fairly similar. In my image the models posture is straight and upright, his head is inline with his body to create a straight and narrow postures as this gives a direct address to the audience. My image is very similar to the one of the mixmag magazine which is on the far right the only difference is the serious look on here face compared to the chilled smirk on the models face on my magazine. The hand signal of my magazine represents the name underneath the model which is 'JUSLUKE' and the hands are representing the signals 'J' and 'L'. The similarity between my magazine and the HOUSE OF MUSIC magazine is the chilled characteristics of the models and the smirky smile on their faces.

Clothing:

The clothing from all three different magazines vary significantly as they are all dressed in different ways. My magazine the model is dressed very chilled and casual but I feel my model represents the magazine genre very well as he is wearing a snapback this is a very elaborate attempt to try and connect with the house and dance side of things through the portray of an image. The other two magazine's have a very more formal approach as they are wearing suits and fancy dresses I opted against this idea as I feel the genre does not need to be represented in a formal way.

Shot Type/ Angle

My magazine I choose to do a medium shot as this shows half of his body so it takes a large proportion of the space on the front cover to represent that the magazine is about this artist. All the shots are highlighting the artist to show there sense of power as they are the main focus point.

In terms of representing the social groups I think my magazine has done so excellently .

In terms of representing social groups I think my magazine has so very well, my target audience would be between the ages of 13 to roughly around 25 years old. The reasoning for this is because and younger or older than this age bracket may not be as interested in thee genre of my music. My magazine will be aimed at males and females as the dance and house music erne can appeal to a wide variety of people of all ages and genders.
