2.  I have used low angled, mid shots for the main image on my front
cover. By doing this, it represents the social group to be quite
aggressive & intimidating, as he is leaning forward, which is a
stereotype of the alternative/rock genre’s social group, also for
teenagers are they are rebellious.
 The images across the bottom represent age through camerawork, as
they are taken from a lower angle, making them seem angry &
moody, which is stereotypical, their body language is very informal, is
also stereotypical for youth.
 I feel that through use of camerawork, I have met these stereotypes
very well, as they quit the music genre, by seeming intimidating &
aggressive. Also: other rock magazines, such as Kerrang! Use these
shot types to represent their artists, as they want them to look as
though they fit into that social group.

3.  I have chosen to use black clothing for my ‘models’, as it represents
the social group very well. It stereotypes their anti-socialness &
rebellion as teenagers. – Also, their social group being labelled as
‘emos’, they are shown to be wearing a lot of black clothing, which
is stereotypical.
 The black clothing represents their age as it is a fashion statement,
something that teenagers are obsessed with in todays society, so this
is stereotypical, people will also see this as inspiration for their own
fashion sense.
 The clothing represents the gender of the models, for males, as men
are usually seen as aggressive, & black clothing connotes that,
therefore making it stereotypical for males.
 I feel that I have represented the social groups & age quite strongly
with mise-en-scene, as I have followed the stereotypes of clothing
for each of those.

4.  I have represented social groups through the use of colours across my
magazine. Using very dark, contrasting colours that would appeal to
my target audience. The colours black, red & yellow are very bold, &
exaggerated, which is stereotypical for the rock genre social group, as
they have a very bold fashion/music taste.
 They represent age, as the colours used are very bold, which is
stereotypical for youth. Kerrang! Also uses these colour schemes, it
appeals to a more grown up side of teenagers, rather than pop
magazines. So for this music genre, the darker colour schemes are
stereotypical for the age.
 The colours are quite unisex, representing gender as kind of neutral, as
both males & females are interested in these colours, there would also
be a fairly equal appeal to this magazine, meaning that the colours are
fairly unisex, making them stereotypical. Opposed to a pop magazine,
where the majority of the colours are pink, appealing to the target
audience of young females.
 I think that I have used colours efficiently to represent the social groups,
age & gender on my front cover, as it is all stereotypical for this music
genre.

5.  The language I have chosen to use is informal, using a range of field
specific lexis throughout the front cover, such as band names, & things
related to rock music/music in general.
 It represents social groups as very informal, which is stereotypical for a
remotely young target audience of 16-25, as they are seen by their
older peers as reckless & quite ungrammatical.
 It represents the male demographic through language as slang
language is stereotypical for teenage males.
 Age is represented through language as it is colloquial & informal, the
type of language that this generation uses daily, across social media
& texts, also in person to their fellow peers.
 I feel that I have used language to represent these different groups
quite well, as informality is required to suit the age, social group &
genders. Also: by using words suited to the genre, such as band
names etc, it it stereotypical for a music magazine.

6.  I chose the sans- serif fonts that I did throughout my front cover, so they
would look rough, aggressive & intimidating. These fonts are
stereotypical for a rock magazine, as they connote the type of music
that would be featured within the magazine.
 The fonts used represent the social group as very aggressive, this is
stereotypical for the social group that listens to the rock genre of
music.
 The sans- serif fonts I chose represent age as teenagers tend to go
through a rebellious stage, so the fonts being very rough looking, is
stereotypical with representing the age of the target audience. As you
wouldn’t see a magazine about cooking – aimed at an older target
audience – in rough, aggressive fonts.
 Gender is represented through these rough fonts, as they connote
aggression, which is stereotypical for males, as the magazine is more
leaning to the male target audience, It is stereotypical.
 By using the fonts that I did, I feel that I managed to represent these
different sections of the target audience stereotypically.

7.  For the main image, I have used a low angle, panned out shot to
include all of the body, to emphasise that he has a guitar, & to show
he fashion sense.
 I have represented social groups through this image by making him
look very anti-social, with the low angle, to make him look
intimidating, it makes him look very emo.
 This shot represents age as teenagers are seen as very anti-social &
moody.
 I have represented gender through this shot by making him look very
angry, which is a stereotypical representation of male behaviour.
 The second little image I have used is a mid shot, I did this to
represent the social groups as emo.
 Their age group is represented through camera work by the lighting,
you can see they are very young, & the shot type represents them
stereotypically as moody teenagers, due to their positioning. They
look very angry.
 Overall I feel that I have represented age, social groups & gender
quite well through use of camerawork.

8.  The clothing featured within the main image, is black & plain. I
have used this colour to represent the social groups stereotypically,
as people who like rock music are shown to wear black clothing.
 The clothing in the main image represents age group as it is a
fashionable colour for teenagers, which is stereotypical for the age
group also, because it could be seen as anti-social.
 The dark clothing represents gender stereotypically, as the black
clothing connotes aggression, which is usually stereotypical male
behaviour.
 A guitar is used as a prop within the first image, this is a stereotypical
representation of the social groups within rock, as it is a common
instrument used within bands.
 In the second, smaller image, clothes used are band merchandise,
which represents the social groups stereotypically, as this is what
rock people wear.
 The clothing represents age as it is trendy & fashionable, which is a
stereotype of the younger generation.
 Overall, I think I have represented age, gender & social groups very
well through use of mise-en-scene.

9.  The colours I have chosen to use throughout the contents page of
my magazine are black, yellow, red, grey & white. These colours
connote anger, darkness & aggression.
 The colours represent age very well, as teenagers/young adults
are usually seen as very angry, anti-social & miserable, so these
colours are stereotypical.
 They represent social groups of the rock genre, also. As ‘emos’ are
stereotypically seen in black clothing, connoting their feelings &
their styles etc.
 The colours represent gender, of a male leading audience, by
being darker colours, as males are usually linked to aggression &
darkness.
 Overall, I think that I have represented these different groups
through colours quite well.

10.  The language I have used throughout my contents page is
somewhat colloquial, with a very specific choice of lexis, which is
appropriate to the music genre.
 By using terms such as ‘gigs’ & all different band names etc, it
represents the social groups, as those are things that they enjoy &
are stereotyped as liking.
 The language represents the target audiences age group, as it is
colloquial, younger generations do not usually use correct English
or Grammar.
 I don’t think gender can really be represented through language,
unless it is to do with the context.
 In terms of Language, I feel I have represented both social groups
& age groups stereotypically.

11.  I have used very block styled sans serif fonts for my contents page.
 They connote aggression as they are very large, this represents the
social groups stereotypically, as rock lovers are seen as angry
people due to the music they listen to.
 The fonts represent age groups as they are very bold & are
expressive in terms of emotion, which is a stereotype of teenagers.
 The fonts represent gender as they are very large & distorted, these
things may stereotypically represent teenage males, as they
commonly get into fights, which is an aggressive act.
 I feel that I have successfully represented age, social groups &
gender through typography on my contents page.

12.  The camera angle I have chosen to use represents social groups as moody, due to the body
language this model is posed in. This is a stereotypical way to represent teenagers in the rock genre.
 I have used a wide shot, to include the setting. This represents social groups as it looks very anit-social
& against society with all the graffiti
 These things represent age as teenagers are often associated with anti-social behaviour. Therefore,
by representing them in this way, it is stereotypical
 This doesn’t really represent females as society is
‘supposed’ to view them, as it is usually males that
are seen as antii-social & rebellious.
 Overall, I think I have used camerawork
stereotypically for my double page spread.

13.  I have used props, such as the guitar in the main image to represent the rock genre social group. The
guitar is a stereotypical prop for a rock music magazine.
 The background images represent the social groups by drawing attention to the graffiti, making the
teenagers/young adults look anti-social, & grungy. Which is a stereotypical way to represent
teenagers.
 It represents age by the use of black clothing, as it is a fashion statement. Representing teenagers as
fashionable is stereotypical.
 The mise-en-scene I have used represents gender as
unisex, with the guitar, & black clothing, I chose to
have my models dressed in remotely black clothing
to suit the music genre. It is stereotypical.
 I feel that I have represented the social group & age
very well, but not the gender, as it is not stereotypical
for women.

14.  I have used the colour black to represent the social groups as depressing & dark. It is stereotypical for
this rock genre’s social group as they are commonly known to like the colour black & it is dark &
reflects their souls.
 The dark colours contrasting against the white, which appeals to the target audience as it is easier to
read, which was my intention. The colours are stereotypical for a music magazine. They represent age
as this is a feature commonly seen in rock magazines, which are for the younger generations, making
it stereotypical for the age group.
 The colour black is fairly unisex, which is why I chose
to use it. Representing gender for the females on
the magazine, as there aren’t any males on this
page.
 I feel that I have represented these different groups
quite strongly through use of colours.. Well.. Black.

15.  The language I have used is appropriate for the context of this double page spread, as it is about
bullying. The language is somewhat colloquial, & I have chosen the lexis appropriate for the content.
 The language used represents social groups within the rock genre, as many people who like
metal/alternative music are often bullied for their fashion sense & music taste. It is also stereotypical
because it is showing that people of the same genre are willing to help, which represents that social
group as helpful, & understanding, which is a common stereotype of those kinds of people.
 The language used represents age, as it is usually
teenagers who are bullied & are looking for help,
this is a stereotype for certain younger people.
 Gender is not represented through the language
here, as there are no leaning audiences for
bullying, therefore I feel that gender cannot be
represented this way.
 Overall, I feel that I have represented age & social
groups quite well through the use of language.

16.  The fonts I have chosen to use for this magazine article & all of the titles & subtitles are sans serif. I have
chosen to use these styles of fonts as they are stereotypically used throughout most rock magazines.
Especially the rough looking, distorted fonts.
 I think the fonts I have chosen to use represent the social groups very well, as the ‘emo’ style & group
usually enjoy these types of fonts, opposed to a serif font, as the sans serif, disported fonts may
represent the social groups as they enjoy the rock genre etc.
 The fonts used represent the age group as being
young & reckless, as the fonts are very messy. This
is stereotypical for teenagers.
 I have represented gender through use of fonts
by making them messy, the target audience I am
trying to appeal to is male leaning, males tend to
like messy things, which is stereotypical that
males are messy.
 I think that overall, I have represented these
groups through my typography.
