This is my theoretical research PowerPoint.

1. Representation.
Representation refers to the construction
in any medium of any aspects of reality,
such as people, places, objects or events.
It refers to the processes involved as well
as the products, this means that not only
is it how the identities are represented
but how they are constructed in the
process. The key markers of identity are
class, age, gender and ethnicity. I need to
make sure the photos that are including
in my production all represent
themselves in the way I want them to.

2. Representation.
The man on the front cover is being represented mainly in an
intimidating way. Firstly, the whole front cover, including his
attire is mainly consisting of black. Along with this he as black
eyeliner on, this is very intimidating as is highlights his glare
towards the reader as well as making him look evil in a way.
However, along with this, eyeliner is normally associated with
females so for a male to be wearing it goes against the
stereotypical features of both genders. The long hair and beard
both assist this intimidating representation as it all adds to the
dark colour scheme. However, like the eyeliner, he goes against
the male features by having this long hair, but both the
eyeliner and long hair represent the modern rock star look. His
glare towards the viewer is both intimidating and personal to
the reader, but because of the colour scheme, it is more than
likely going to be used for intimidation. The smoking that is
seeping from his both connotes to us a rough and raw ideology
due to smoking being regarded as a dirty and unhealthy habit.
