Specific rock magazine research
Fall Out Boy band members experience periods where they grow apart but ultimately remain close friends who care about each other. One member nearly committed suicide after the band took a break, showing how integral the band was to his identity. They still feel nerves before performances despite their fan base, suggesting they seek to live up to fan expectations. They prefer intimate shows, like one in their hometown venue, as it allows them to feel close to fans.
Evaluation question 2 edited
The media product represents serious and masculine social groups. Specifically, it targets teenage males ages 13-19 who listen to mainstream R&B music. The front cover model looks away from the camera with a serious expression and crossed arms, conveying an aggressive or violent impression. This style matches moodboard images of R&B artists that commonly have serious expressions while looking away from the camera.
Question 2
The student's magazine represents similar social groups to Kerrang! by using casual photos of artists facing the camera naturally, similar to Kerrang!'s style. The facial expression on the magazine's cover depicts a serious, pained look to portray the theme of an artist's tough career decision. Lighting and colors on the cover were chosen to reflect the difficult time the artist is experiencing. Costumes in the photos show diversity to appeal to different social groups, with shirts referencing both Bob Marley and Abercrombie & Fitch brands.
Question 2 evaluation
This document discusses how the media product represents social groups in terms of age, gender, and social class. For age, a young male model aged 16-25 was used, and moody blue-toned images were edited to target younger audiences. For gender, only male models were used to represent the masculine indie rock genre, with dark and masculine color schemes. For social class, the working class nature of indie fans is represented through a simple design, ordinary models in plain clothes, showing the average working class man with talent.
Lesson 2- Codes and Conventions
This document discusses codes and conventions used in magazine covers. Codes refer to symbolic meanings of visual elements like color schemes. The black and white color scheme on one magazine cover represents power and intrigue. Conventions refer to common practices or styles. One convention is putting a celebrity's face on the cover to directly address the audience and seduce them into reading the magazine. Facial expressions and text can work together to convey meanings like a person's ruthless nature. Direct eye contact from a cover image works to engage the audience. Black clothing and gold accessories on rappers communicate power and wealth.
Photo Analysis
The document analyzes a photo of musician Ed Sheeran, focusing on his facial expression and protective posture holding a guitar. The photo appears to have been professionally staged, with the artist directed to pose in front of a plain gray background. It was likely taken as part of a magazine feature or promotional shoot, to be used in articles, advertisements or album covers that would benefit from directly connecting with viewers through eye contact.
Mood board
The mood board is centered around hip hop music culture. It includes images that relate to the hip hop community such as fashionable hip hop artists, a pair of sneakers made in Brooklyn that are related to hip hop's influence there, a picture of a black and white man shaking hands to represent unity in the hip hop world, and images of a dancer and graffiti to represent how dancers learn moves on the streets and slums rather than in studios.

Prop List
This document provides details on the equipment and stylistic choices for a photo shoot promoting a hip hop magazine. It will feature a black male model wearing flashy branded clothing, headphones, jewelry, and a snapback hat to represent hip hop fashion. Photographs will be taken with a high-quality SLR camera on a tripod against a white background to ensure clarity. The equipment and stylistic choices are meant to professionally represent the hip hop community that reads the magazine.
Representation
The document discusses how the artist "Professor Brown" is represented in a music magazine to appeal to the target audience. Several photos in the magazine portray the artist as rebellious and cool through his clothing and body language. Photos on the cover, contents page, and double page spread show him leaning against walls in an urban setting, looking relaxed and laid back to give the impression of a typical rapper and position him as successful in that genre. The goal is to get male readers to idolize the artist and relate to him as a young rapper so they enjoy reading about his success.
Original Photos
The document discusses the selection of photos for use in a magazine focused on the R&B genre. The author plans to use one photo as the cover image due to its direct eye contact, mid-shot composition, and depiction of relaxation through hand placement that aligns with R&B artists. Another photo is selected for the contents page to represent masculinity and casual poses associated with male-dominated R&B. A third photo is chosen for a double-page spread due to its portrait orientation, direct eye contact, and lighting that requires little editing.
Photography plan
The photographer will photograph a local indie rock band called King No-One to feature in their magazine. The band dresses in typical indie styles like black skinny jeans and plain colors that represent the genre. Photos will be taken at a King No-One gig at a York pub, using band instruments as props and capturing the straight-faced, relaxed mood associated with indie rock. Lighting and angles will emphasize the band's confidence and importance on stage.
Evaluation q 2
My magazine represents the social groups of hip hop and rap artists and their fans. In the images, the model is dressed in dark colors and accessories like chains that portray the stereotypical style of hip hop artists. The language used in the text, like slang and exclamation points, connects with readers in an informal way. Most of the photos feature young males aged 17-25, which is the target demographic for this genre of music. The model's poses, clothing, and eye contact with the camera help audiences feel connected to hip hop culture and artists.
Casting
The document considers several models for a magazine in the hip-hop genre: Tommy Ledwidge, Sean Nee, the author themselves, Shea Mckernan, and Liam Nixon. Tommy, Sean, and Shea are deemed suitable due to their looks and clothing fitting the genre. While the author could also model, they would need help taking photos. Liam is deemed less suitable since his style seems more suited to pop than hip-hop's serious aesthetic.
Unit 15 Photoshoot Plan
This document outlines the plans for a photo shoot to capture images for posters and flyers promoting an upcoming music festival. It will feature hands representing the audience with different angles and lighting conditions. No specific model is needed since only hands will be photographed, and wardrobe is not required beyond clean hands. The shoot will take place at a school on November 11th.
Effective images
This document discusses the effectiveness of several photos for a hip hop genre magazine. It analyzes each photo based on factors like posing, facial expression, angle, attire and how well it represents the serious tone of hip hop. Some photos are deemed highly suitable due to depicting serious looks that fit the genre through poses and clothing, while others could be improved by changing the outfit or adjusting the lighting in post-production. An engaging smile and eye contact in one photo makes the subject inviting and draws the reader in.
Evaluation q2
The document discusses how a magazine represents social groups through its featured artist, Alex Johnson. It represents young male solo artists and aims to appeal to its target audience of ages 16-21. Alex is depicted wearing skinny jeans and a jacket in casual, unposed outdoor photos to portray an authentic, laid back style. The interview with Alex is also written in a casual, chatty style to seem more personal. Audience feedback has been positive, noting the photos look cool and fit the acoustic music genre. By sticking to Alex's natural image and not changing him, the representation works well and challenges stereotypes that such artists cannot be role models.
Representation analysis
The document discusses how artists from the rock genre are portrayed stereotypically in magazines. It analyzes images of the lead singer from Bring Me the Horizon, a band called Blink 182, and Marilyn Manson. For each, it describes how elements of their appearance and poses uphold stereotypes of rock fans being angry, dark, wild, and intimidating. These stereotypes are conveyed through features like screaming, tattoos, dark clothing, sweaty and passionate performances, and unusual Gothic fashion. The document suggests these stereotypical portrayals aim to appeal to and relate to the young, teen audiences of the magazines.
Question 2
The document compares and contrasts the representation of social groups in two media products: a Q Magazine cover photo of David Bowie and the student's magazine cover photo of a male artist. It finds that while both use similar shot types and lighting, they differ in the use of makeup, styling, and clothing. The document concludes that the student's photo portrays their male model subject as independent, strong, representative of rock music, serious, talented, and important through the photo's direct gaze, lack of assistance, attire, facial expression, and placement in the magazine.
Evaluation Activity 5
This document summarizes how the magazine addressed its target audience. Bold and relevant headings about indie music would attract fans of that genre.

- His minimal facial expressions and sunglasses portray a serious image, fitting the rap genre better than an overly smiling artist.
- Accessories like sunglasses and a hat give him a celebrity look that inspires the target audience.
- Colloquial language makes the magazine accessible to its young, hip hop audience while still using standard English for a wider readership.
- As a black male reformer who works hard and pursues quality music, the artist
Evaluation 2nd question
The document compares two magazine cover photos that share some similarities but also have differences. Both photos use a similar camera shot and grayscale color scheme. The models in both photos use hand gestures but in different ways, with one model singing and the other contemplating. While the poses and clothing differ, the backgrounds are similarly darkened. The document also describes how the author's model is represented to look confident as a debut hip hop artist hoping to impress audiences.
Re shoot of images
The document discusses re-shooting images for a music magazine. The first photo chosen for the front cover was re-shot due to bad lighting and inappropriate outfit in the original. The new front cover photo follows magazine conventions by having the model pose naturally and gaze at the reader. Additional photos were re-shot for the contents page and double-page spreads to better reflect the artist's personality, music genre, and avoid strictly portraying the "male gaze". The re-shot images aim to present the artist and instruments more naturally rather than posing stiffly.

Evaluation Question Two
My magazine represents the social groups of hip hop and rap artists and their fans. In the photos, the model is dressed in stereotypical hip hop styles like chains and dark colors to portray that vibe. While focusing on hip hop, the color scheme is also light to appeal to other music genres. Most photos feature young males aged 17-25, the primary demographic for rap music. The language uses informal terms like slang to connect with readers. Poses and facial expressions aim to depict the model as thinking deeply to inspire youth.

Lecturer vs student centured
The document compares lecturer-centered and student-centered approaches to teaching. Lecturer-centered focuses on knowledge transmission from professor to passive students through memorization. Student-centered emphasizes active student involvement in constructing knowledge through real-life problem solving. While lecturer talks more in lecturer-centered, student talk is equal or greater in student-centered. The conclusion is that the most important thing is achieving learning objectives, and lecturers should control activities while students focus on learning, applying approaches appropriately.

Media Evaluation Q 1&2
My media product both challenges and uses conventions of real music magazines. It challenges conventions by only featuring young female artists, who are underrepresented in acoustic guitar magazines that typically feature older male artists. However, it also follows conventions through its layout, use of cover lines, and color scheme similar to other magazines. The media product represents various social groups including young women under 25, those experiencing social mobility, and fans of acoustic music. While it increases representation of women and class mobility, it does not prominently feature racial diversity or certain subcultures.

Feedback indicated the magazine was successful at representing its target audience. The magazine represented common stereotypes of the R&B and hip hop genres through photos of artists displaying stereotypical styles, poses, and clothing.
Evaluation 2 : How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My media magazine represents particular social groups through its content and imagery. It targets youth ages 16-24 who are interested in urban culture and the rap/R&B genre. It portrays this demographic through images of artists that conform to genre stereotypes, using a mix of English and slang. Both male and female genders are represented equally. The magazine challenges some stereotypes by featuring a Black male artist dressed professionally in a suit, showing the progression one can make in the industry. Overall it aims to appeal to its lower-middle class target audience interested in this music style and lifestyle.
Evaluation Question 4
- The target audience for the R&B music magazine is males aged 15-30 from lower social classes (C2, D, E) and primarily black ethnicity.
- The genre of R&B attracts this audience as the lyrics discuss mature topics from a male perspective and sometimes reference backgrounds from the lower classes.
- Images used in the magazine include an expensive jacket worn by the black male model to portray wealth and status, important to the aspirational audience, and money. The background was edited to black and white to make the model stand out.

Question 2 representations
The document discusses how people are represented in a magazine targeted towards 11-20 year old males. On the front cover, the artist is shown wearing a leather jacket, associated with rock stars and bikers, representing the target audience as aggressive and careless. Masculine colors are also used to appeal to males of that age group. On the contents page, the artists are shown looking relaxed or with straight faces, representing the attitude of the target audience. Rough fonts are used for headings to seem aggressive and masculine. On a double page spread, bold but destroyed fonts, dark colors, and easy to understand language in a dark setting represent the target audience as rule breakers stereotypically associated with rock magazines.
Evaluation audience
The document discusses the target audience and marketing strategies for a pop music magazine.

Evaluation 2
The document analyzes how a media product represents and challenges conventions of the indie music genre. It notes that the front cover features a female artist, challenging the genre's stereotype as male-dominated. Throughout the magazine, more female than male artists are featured. However, only white British ethnicities are included, representing the genre's white dominance. Images portray artists as moody through facial expressions and muted colors, aligning with stereotypes of the indie genre being moody and casual. Youth are prominently featured, signifying their importance in indie music.
How does your media product represent different social groups?
The document discusses how an R&B magazine was designed to appeal to and represent the photographer's social group. Several design elements were considered, including clothing styles, hand gestures, direct eye contact, distinctive poses, bright lighting, medium shots from low angles, and affordable pricing. The overall goal was to feature fashion, music, and celebrities that the target audience of young, urban, working class listeners would find attractive and relatable.

Images show models posing intimidatingly, as characters in R&B videos often do. Written content includes rhetorical questions on the cover and an interview section, mimicking real magazines. Sticking to a consistent, readable font and including standard elements like a barcode help the magazine seem authentic for its target R&B audience. Overall, the magazine successfully adopts conventions of real music publications to engage readers interested in the R&B genre.

Evaluation question 2

- 2. • • • • How an artist looks tells us what people think of them as a person e.g. sexy, aggressive,innocent,powerful, wealthy etc. So in my media product I made sure my model is looking away from the camera to show he is serious and not interested, also the model is not smiling has a very serious expression and also has his arms crossed in the double-paged spread. This could give the impression that the artist is very aggressive or violent. The use of black and white also adds to the effect of seriousness.
- 3. Social Group • The social group/target audience for my magazine will be aimed at teenagers between the ages of 13-19. Majority of teenagers between the ages of 13-19 listen to mainly mainstream R&B so therefore this would be a very popular magazine for teenagers. This magazine is primarily aimed at males rather than females as it contains very masculine content.
- 4. • MOOD BOARD • • In my Mood board I have artist with expressions which are very serious , it is usually the male artists who have the serious expressions and poses. Also there are a few pictures which are in black and white with artists looking away from the camera. A very common prop for male R&B rappers and artists is the baseball cap. The background the artist is in is usually just a plain background, it brings all the attention to the artist. The artists may also be shown as sexy e.g. Trey Songz is topless which allows him to show his muscular features which is appealing to women. The pictures of the models are usually taking at a close angle so that you can have a good view of the expressions of the artist. Some artists may be shown as intimidating e.g. Lil Wayne as he has direct eye contact with the camera at a medium close up in black and white. Many artists also have tattoos over their body. • In comparison to my magazine I ensured my model has a serious expression and is also looking away from the camera. I used the Lil Wayne picture for ideas so I applied the same black and white effect for my front cover and contents page. I also added the popular baseball cap, another prop I added was the headphones. Many rappers use headphones whenever they are recording their songs or in the studio room editing the songs.
