How does your media product represent particular social groups?



My media product represents particular social groups because it is clear it is aimed at people that like that particular type of music, not just because of the fact it has information on indie/rock music inside, the whole feel of the magazine, the colours, the facial expressions of music artist's all fit in with the genre. My model's facial expression is similar to Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighter's on the cover of NME magazine. The shot is similar in that they are both close up shots which really show of their facial expression. The angle of both shots are straightforward, and both of them are looking directly at the camera. The lighting on NME magazine compared to my magazine is brighter, which really gives a clear image of the face. You can not see much of each of their costumes, simply because these are close up shots, so the main focus is on their faces, both of their expressions are extremely eye catching. Both of there hair styles are long and messy looking, this fits in well with the genre as it is a popular hair style for people who enjoy this type of music. I think NME's front cover is very successful in enticing its audience, the cover is attractive and contains the relevant information that readers will look for.
