My magazine portrays a range of social groups through the inclusion of models from different ethnicities on the cover and in content. This includes a black male model on the cover, images of a black musician with Asian females, and a white musician. There is also no male dominance as two female models are featured. The clothing of the black male model, a black hoodie and jeans, was inspired by a Billboard magazine cover and may symbolize that men prefer simple black clothing over colors.

Question2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The document discusses how the media product, a rock music magazine, represents particular social groups. It acknowledges stereotypes associated with rock music and teenagers involving violence, drugs, and troublesome behavior but aims to avoid portraying these labels. In contrast to another rock magazine that sells content through women's bodies using aggressive poses and tight, black outfits, the document's magazine uses close-up shots of artists' faces and casual clothing that is suitable for the genre but not overly fancy or scruffy. The target audience is identified as the middle class based on the main artist, writing style, and styling of models to appear popular but not of high standard. Race and sexuality were not targeted groups as the magazine is open for anyone to
Evaluation – question 2
The magazine represents particular social groups by featuring a model from a working/middle class background who is aged 16-25 to appeal to the target audience. A female model is used on the cover to attract male readers according to Mulvey's male gaze theory, but she is portrayed in a less sexualized manner with a serious expression to challenge stereotypes. Her style reflects the indie genre through thrift store clothing to connect with that culture.
How does your media product represent particular social
The magazine represents young working class adults aged 15-24 who are students or recently finished secondary school. The target audience is mainly Asian and Black communities in East London. Feedback showed the magazine attracted more female readers due to featuring female models. The magazine uses mid-level vocabulary and represents women as deserving respect, not just sex objects. It aims to intrigue and attract male readers while relating to the casual lifestyle of the Asian female model. The magazine portrays social groups positively without stereotypes by using an Asian model atypically for an R&B magazine.

Q2:
The document discusses how a media product called "Eternal" magazine represents social groups. The magazine targets teenagers and young adults aged 16-25. Models ages 16-17 are featured to appeal to this audience. While magazines typically portray teenagers as "rebellious" and "party goers", Eternal depicts them as "hedonists" who make everyday pleasurable, not fitting a rebellious stereotype. Though an emerging representation, it's not unusual to portray teenagers romantically. The magazine aims to attract both males and females through inclusive content but may attract more females due to feminine colors. Teenagers are represented positively as carefree with fun lifestyles.
Question 2
The document discusses the design choices for an indie music magazine to appeal to its target audience. The magazine's style is similar to Q and NME to represent the indie music genre through its black, white and red color scheme. The cover features an artist that appeals to males through his casual clothes reflecting the genre. The contents page uses a simple, concise writing style and pictures of a young band to interest both male and female readers sharing the target age group. A double page spread uses a photograph of a confident, laid back young artist to represent the magazine's youthful audience and matches his informal tone in the interview.
Question 2
The document discusses representation of social groups in media and the author's magazine in particular. It aims to shy away from stereotypical portrayals of women as sexual objects and men as macho. The magazine targets both male and female indie/rock fans equally and shows sensitive sides of men. While mostly featuring a male cover model, it aims to appeal to both genders. It also aims to portray youth more positively in contrast to dominant ideas of them as drunk, unintelligent and disrespectful, instead showing their respect, talents and future plans through music fans and interviews.

My magazine represents the middle class audience that listens to dance music. It features music festivals, holidays, and middle class DJs that the target middle class audience can relate to.

Images on the cover and in features portray the target age group as determined and ambitious to counter stereotypes of teenagers being lazy.

Evaluation 2
My magazine represents teenage girls aged 16-18 through fashion inspiration and popular R&B music focused on relationships. It depicts the stereotypes that teenage girls obsess over fashion, boys, and hair. The bright colors also appeal to how girls are seen as sweet and innocent. It represents the middle class through revealing costumes appropriate for their social norms but not upper class standards. The black model, urban location, and popular black R&B artists mean it appeals more to young black girls who can relate to the representation of their ethnicity.

The male cover model was shown in a thoughtful black and white pose to represent a softer, emerging masculine ideology. Both models used were white, showing an unconscious residual ideology as other races were not considered or represented in an effort to assemble a diverse cast.

My evaluation
Will Harris evaluates his music magazine project. He based his magazine style on The Wire, Clash, Dazed, and Sneeze magazines, using conventions like fixed-width fonts and centering the masthead at the top of the cover page. He developed conventions further, like using minimal cover lines to focus on the artist. He challenged conventions with an unstructured double-page spread. His target audience is 20-year-olds, and he represents them through images of individuals expressing themselves through fashion and music. He aims to attract this audience with affordable price, interviews, and casual tone. He thinks Dazed Media would be a good distributor because they celebrate youth culture through multiple platforms.

Question 1 part b
1. The film uses techniques like slow motion, time freeze, and color filters to draw attention to important symbolic elements and create a sense of confusion and mystery for the audience.
2. The story has a linear narrative structure where a secret is gradually revealed until the final twist ending. It starts with Amy being fostered by a seemingly caring single mother, but strange events suggest something more sinister.
3. Various film theories help analyze the narrative, including a twist revealed through Todorov's model, a false hero in the mother character, and initially confusing representations of good and evil addressed through Levi-Strauss and Barthes' theories.
Question 1 part b
The document analyzes a film through several structuralist and narrative theories. It discusses how the film follows a linear narrative structure by revealing a secret over time until the twist ending. Initially, the ghost girl seems like the villain but the mother is revealed as the true villain. The film also features a false hero in the mother and creates initial confusion over the good and evil characters, as predicted by Todorov and Levi-Straus's theories. Barthes' theory of action codes is also reflected in how the adoption papers establish Amy's backstory without dialogue. The film challenges Faludi's idea that media portrays career women as unable to enjoy motherhood by featuring a working mother who provides for Amy.

- 1. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- 2. I think my magazine portrays a range of different ethnicity. This is because for my front cover; I use a black model, in my content page there is an image of Tinchy Stryder who is black but he’s taking a picture with two Asian females which does not discriminate any races, also there is an image of Conor Maynard who is white, so overall I think I included a range of ethnic minorities so there is no negative stereotype.
- 3. There’s also not the male dominance of men as I have included two female models, this may then encourage both genders to read my magazine. The clothes my model wears includes a black hoody and also his jeans are black, I wanted to go for simple black clothing because I got this from a model front cover page of Billboard magazine, the fact that he wears all black might symbolize that men go for simple clothing rather than colours which girls usually go for.
