Question 2 answer
The document discusses how a media product represents various social groups. It represents young people aged 16-27 through the use of colloquial language. It targets the technical middle class and new affluent workers based on their annual earnings and disposable income. It also represents members of this social group who are trying to climb the social and economic ladders. Both male and female audiences are targeted, who are interested in a diverse range of music and like to stay up to date with trends. Visual elements like clothing, color themes, and language are used informally to represent and appeal to these social groups.
Question 2
This media product represents young female adults aged 16-25. The cover features a young female model biting a pink scarf, emulating Marilyn Monroe's style to appeal to those familiar with past pop music as well as current music. Bright colors and increased saturation were used to subtly appeal to the target female audience. Inside features multiple photos of the model posing in a cute, fashionable way to portray her fun and wild side and appeal to the young, fashion-interested social group. The magazine content focuses on both past and present pop music to attract readers interested in a wide range of music from different decades.
My Social Group Powerpoint
The document discusses how a magazine represents a particular social group aged 14-30 that enjoys classic and heavy rock music. It does this through the clothes, facial expressions, camera angles, and color scheme used in photos throughout the magazine. Dark, casual clothes along with serious facial expressions signal a rebel attitude that this social group finds appealing. Photos from varied camera angles further engage this target audience by depicting passion for music and a desire to explore new artists. An consistent color scheme of red, white, black, and brown draws on conventions familiar to this group.
Media evaluation 5
For my front cover, I have used a stroke effect to draw attention to the masthead and cover lines, featuring a teenage musician to relate better to my target audience of teens aged 13-19. Within the cover lines, I mention various famous rock artists to appeal to a wide audience range. For the contents page, I kept the same color scheme as the front cover and featured two female teen "rockers" to appeal to different ages and genders, as well as a custom image to identify my magazine. For the double page spread, I continued the color scheme and featured the same person on the main image to provide information about him and his band, showing a rock gesture to identify with the audience.
Evaluation Question 2
My magazine represents several social groups:
It targets young adults aged 16 and older who enjoy soundtracks and film music. While having a dark, monochrome color scheme that may appeal to goths, it aims to remain open to all subcultures.
It positively represents young women in music with a female singer on the cover in a position of power. However, it also represents males through articles on the male-dominated film music industry.
The magazine does not currently represent disability but aims to be accessible to all abilities. It features a female Asian cover star to represent minority ethnic groups, who are generally underrepresented in media. While sophisticated in design, it represents all social classes through an inclusive genre and low
Evaluation q4
The target audience for the media product is males aged 16-25 from a lower social class (Groups E and D). The magazine covers rap music and urban culture through images and articles that would appeal to this demographic. Consistent use of color scheme and graffiti-inspired designs help position the magazine for a young, male audience interested in rap and the urban lifestyle.
Final pitch
Thomas Ngai is pitching a new pop music magazine called POPCORN targeted at 18-24 year olds with a middle-income bracket. The magazine will be published by Bauer Media and cost between £3-3.99. The front cover will feature a solo female artist with red color scheme and include three images and coverlines about her new album. The content pages will have detailed stories and images including a chart and short article. Double page spreads will include an interview with the featured artist discussing her career and a long shot image, with red and white color scheme and pull quotes from the interview.
Evaluation q4
The target audience for this media product is teenage and young adult females aged 16-21 from all ethnic and social class backgrounds. Specifically, the target audience is middle class teenage and young adult females interested in R&B and urban culture. This is evident from the bright color scheme, images of attractive young musicians, and focus on popular artists and music trends that would appeal to this demographic. The price also aims to be affordable for students from a middle class background.
