1. Q: HOW DOES YOUR
MEDIA PRODUCT
REPRESENT
PARTICULAR SOCIAL
GROUPS?
2. SOCIAL GROUP
One social group my magazine would represent and appeal is
possible the older generation that enjoy going to the theatre a lot, they
therefore may earn a high income.
By referencing older actors/actresses/musicals such as Barbra
Streisand, Judy Garland and Singin’ in the Rain, it is more likely that
the older generation will be aware of these than younger people
nowadays.
3. A way in which I have represented this social group in my editing is by
using the old fashioned bulbs of the Broadway/Hollywood sign.
By using this style of font, I have created an old fashioned and classic look, which
fits in with the social group I hope to attract. I like the idea of making a magazine
for a niche market, as there may be a limited amount of people who will link the
editing to this certain genre.
4. Another way I have represented this social group is the photography
techniques I used to create an old fashioned effect.
By using photography and editing like this, I
have created a classic and fashionable look for
my cover star which would hopefully attract
the social group of an older generation.
By editing my main image to a black and white
effect I think I have created an authentic look
which would resemble magazines that were
made decades ago.
5. SOCIAL GROUP
Another social group my magazine could represent is drama/theatre
students who are either interested in going into theatre or just have an interest
in musicals.
For an example of this social
group, I can go back to my
audience profile and use the
character Rachel Berry from
TV show ‘Glee.’
6. I have represented these people by making my cover star quite
young and have her be a theatre fan with big dreams from when she
was younger. I chose to make my cover star like this so she could
relate to the audience I was aiming to attract.
If my magazine was to be sold in an actual shop, I would hope
that aspiring performers would relate to my cover star.
