1. How does your media product
represent particular social groups?
Dayna Odamo

2. Lighting & colours
• There are some similarities
between my model and the
model on KPOP magazine
• The lighting on my model is
bright which brings out the
essence of the magazine genre
which is to attract people to
read their magazines because
bright colours are always used.
It makes the artist more
appealing to viewers who
would like to know more
about the content of the
magazine

3. Clothing & style
• My media product generally has
the representation of the
younger teenage generation
social group. My model is
wearing bright clothing which
reinforces the lively era that
teenagers have. They also have
similar make-up styles. My
model has red lipstick on and so
does the artist on Kpop
magazine. This is common in
today’s modern generation so I
thought it would be suitable to
include this on my magazine
front page so it can appeal to
this particular social group

4. Shot/Angle
• Both models are shot at
close-up shots and they are
both taken in a studio style
setting. Because of the
close-up camera angle, the
reader can have a
connection with the
magazine and therefore buy
it to read what is inside.
Both images also appear in
the middle of the page to
give room for both sides of
the magazine to have
writing and not to
overshadow the image,
making the model the focal
point of the magazine front
cover

5. Background
• Because the model
herself is taken with a
close-up the focus is
more on the models
face and the colour of
clothing she is
wearing. Therefore the
background is white
and usually is with
other magazines to
show that the artist is
the main focal point
and the coverlines are
easier to read.

6. Expression
• The facial expressions of
the artists are either
vibrant or shows some
kind of emotion on their
faces. With Kpop
magazines, their facial
expressions are hardly
ever vacant because it
makes the image more
appealing. Both artists
look like they’re having
fun which is generally
popular in pop
magazines.
