1. How does your media product represent particular
socialgroups My magazine is a multi genre magazine but the cover
artist on which i am focused on is an indie artist therefore this
addition is trying to appeal to indie fans. The social class in
which my magazine aims at is ABC1 as this is the social class in
which almost every magazine in the industry appeals to due to the
expense of music magazines.
2. The audience for my magazine is 16-30 year olds with a main
focus on men whichis shown by the title chap however this does
appeal to females also. The model Iused for my magazine is typical
of the indie genre with my pictures focussing onhis body language
for example the front cover shows him staring directly down
thecamera with an emotionless face in order for him to connect with
the audienceand show him as serious and mysterious very similar to
this example of NoelGallagher.
3. My model as i mentioned portrayed his personality by the use
of body languagebut I also combined this with costuming. To start
as you can see in every picturehe is pulling serious poses but also
his costuming shows him covered up whichgives the audience the
sense that he doesnt give much away and has this hardexterior.
Another key way in which i represented my artist is the
Mise-en-scenearound him and his settings. He is predominantly shot
outside in urban settingssuch as behind a cage to represent prison
bars and in front of a council estatewhich you are more likely to
see with an indie artist then in a country manor.
4. In my article and pictures as i have already mentioned my
artist is portrayed in aserious manner as he has this persona so
many indie artists have of being rebels.However i wanted my article
to show the real person and that he isnt all bad so ibuilt the
piece up with serious after serious picture then when the meat of
the articlecame i gave him a light-hearted feel by showing him
laughing across the wholedouble page.
