This document compares the author's magazine cover photo of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl to a cover photo of him from Kerrang magazine. Both photos show Grohl in a similar side-on pose with a strange facial expression, wearing black tops under similar lighting. However, the author's cover photo has darker, blue-tinged lighting while the Kerrang magazine cover has brighter lighting. The similarities in appearance may appeal to the same audience. Overall, the author's cover photo aims to appeal to a younger demographic through more normal-looking people.

Neuronas y neurotransmisores
La neurona es la célula principal del sistema nervioso que transmite impulsos nerviosos. Existen neuronas sensitivas, motoras e interneuronas. La sinapsis permite la transmisión del impulso nervioso de una neurona a otra a través de los neurotransmisores, que son sustancias químicas que se liberan de la primera neurona y activan receptores en la segunda, continuando así el impulso nervioso.

Evaluation 2 how does your media product represent particular social groups
This document summarizes how a magazine represents a particular social group through the photos used. The postures, facial expressions, costumes, backgrounds, lighting, and hairstyles of photos of an indie band called The Wombats are very similar to photos taken for a fake magazine about indie music.

Evaluation
The document provides details on the design choices made for various elements of a magazine mock-up. It explains that the front cover follows conventions of music magazines by positioning the masthead and sell line similarly to Mojo magazine. Photographs throughout the magazine feature musicians that resemble the target audience of late teens/young adults to attract readers. Consistent use of a unique brand color across different elements is meant to make the magazine stand out from competitors and appeal to readers.
Evaluation
- The document discusses the target audience, distribution, and conventions of Joe Jackson's music magazine project.
- The target audience is described as late teens and people in their 20s, as represented by the models on the cover wearing trendy clothes.
- Distribution partners discussed include major retailers, IPC Media as a leading UK publisher, and similarities to the distribution of competitor magazine Vibe.
- Conventions from real magazines, such as prominent mastheads and cover styles, are used, while some aspects like banner placement are altered for effect.
Media Studies Evaluation
The document discusses how Joe Jackson's music magazine represents and targets particular social groups. It aims its content and advertising primarily at teenagers and young adults in their late teens to early 20s. Images on the cover and throughout feature models of the same age range dressing in styles typical of that demographic. While mainly targeting males, the magazine's content can still be accessed and enjoyed by females as well. The magazine represents its target audience as being of a lower or working class through the styles of dress portrayed in hoodies and serious facial expressions.
Media evaluation question 2
The document compares photos from the magazine cover of Kerrang magazine and the author's own magazine cover. Both covers represent similar social groups by featuring models staring directly at the camera in natural poses to appear down to earth. While the expressions differ slightly, with Kerrang appearing more playful and the author's cover more serious, the hairstyles are both natural looks. The camera shot and lighting are also similar between the covers, though Kerrang uses a lower angle to make their model appear popular while the author's is at eye level. Costume choices further represent the different emotions being conveyed, with Kerrang in bright clothes and the author's model in dark clothes.
Representation of social groups
The document discusses the creation of a magazine targeted towards fans of rock and metal music. The author ensured the band in the magazine photos dressed in stereotypical styles associated with social groups like punks, goths, and emos. This was to help the target audience identify the magazine's genre and feel comfortable. Props like guitars were included to showcase the musical side of the band without needing to read the article. Photo positioning and styling also mimicked current music magazines to draw in the target audience. While stereotypical clothing supported the intended social group, the author argues it could also appeal to a wider audience if desired.
As media studies evaluation
Jack Humpherson created a media studies magazine as a coursework project. He analyzed conventions of existing music magazines and incorporated some conventions into his magazine while also making it unique. His intended audience was teenagers and young adults who enjoy rock and metal music. He represented this audience through images and articles that featured styles and topics relevant to subcultures like goths and punks. Jack determined that Bauer Media would be a suitable publisher as they already publish similar magazines that target the same demographic.
Photo shoot plan
The document is a photo shoot plan for a rock music magazine. It outlines that Hannah Hughes will take photos of people aged teens to 20s dressed and styled like rock artists, using props and clothing to resemble bands like Paramore. Mid-shots will primarily be used to focus on the subjects. High key lighting will be used and photos edited in Photoshop for quality. Inspiration photos show individual artists and bands that attract the target audience. Specific models are identified and will be styled in stereotypical rock clothing, accessories, and hair styles. Most photos will be taken outside for natural lighting.
Evaluation: Question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. It notes that the magazine represents its target audience through the clothes and images used, which are similar to what the target audience typically wears. However, the document acknowledges that this could be seen as stereotypical since people with different styles may also be interested in the music and bands. The photos in the magazine feature people dressed in a rock/punk style consistent with the genre. While this presents a stereotypical image, such images attract the target audience. Social groups related to the magazine's genre are often portrayed through stereotypes like emo, goth and scene, though not all who dress that way identify as such.
Evaluation of magazine front covers
The document discusses the intentions, fulfillment of intentions, appropriateness, meaning created, and effectiveness of four different magazine cover designs. For each cover design, the photographer discusses establishing the genre through props, the model's expression and positioning, and how the final image meets their goals. They also explain how each cover relates to and would appeal to the teenage target audience.
As evaluation
The document discusses how the media product challenges and uses conventions of real media. It notes that the title is both conventional as it is bold and stands out, but also challenges conventions by including a musical treble clef symbol. Images are used to portray the magazine as cool, indie, and centered around music and gigs. Costumes and props like a guitar help recognize the type of magazine and its theme, while sometimes going against conventions by coming before the photo shoot. Social groups represented include males who want attention and females who care about their appearance and vanity. The likely distributors are music magazines and the audience is music fans.
Comparing conventions
This document compares the author's movie teaser poster and magazine cover to professional examples, analyzing how well conventions were followed. For the teaser poster, conventions like centering the main image and including information below are followed, though a non-black background was used. Both posters include taglines and production company logos in conventional areas. For the magazine cover, conventions like using a central mid-shot image and masthead placement in the top left are followed, though the masthead design and sell lines could better match industry standards. Overall, the author's designs generally adhere to conventions but also take some non-conventional approaches.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how the magazine represents particular social groups. [1] It suggests that by advertising music festivals, the magazine targets people who like attending festivals. [2] The artists and model featured also seem to match the stereotypical interests of the target audience of female students and "hippies." [3] Elements like the casual language and inclusion of a guitar further reinforce stereotypes of the target social groups of indie/rock music fans.
q2
The document discusses how a media product represents a particular social group. It uses images of the magazine's special guest on the cover, contents page, and a double page spread to portray the social group. The mise-en-scene depicts elements of music, design, graffiti, and street life to represent the target audience of hip-hop/R&B lovers. While some images support dominant ideas of intimidation, the use of a white model challenges stereotypes about the social group's race.
Evaluation question 2
This document discusses how the magazine represents particular social groups. It suggests that by advertising music festivals and featuring certain artists, the magazine targets a social group of festival-goers and fans of that music genre. It also notes that the model used, a 17-year old female student who enjoys socializing and festivals, would allow that target audience to relate to her. The language used in features is evaluated as being at a level that a stereotypical female student could understand rather than using complex vocabulary. A prop of a guitar in one photo is said to represent the stereotype of a 'rocker' who plays rock music. The magazine overall aims its content at particular social groups through its topics, imagery and language used.
Question 2
The document discusses how the candidate's magazine front cover photo represents social groups similarly to the Kerrang! magazine that influenced it. Both photos show the models staring directly at the camera from the front in similar poses. While the expressions differ slightly, with the Kerrang! model looking more playful and the candidate's model looking mildly happy but serious, the hairstyles suggest both magazines represent a down-to-earth, natural look. The camera angle, lighting choices, and costumes were also chosen differently between the photos to convey different meanings and representations of the featured artists.
QUESTION 2
This document discusses the representation of social groups in a music magazine. It describes the clothing and positioning of models used on the front cover and contents page. The front cover features an 18-year-old male smoking and dressed in clothing typical of fans of acoustic/alternative music like black jeans, boots, and a jacket. On the contents page, the same model is shown putting on his jacket in a relaxed pose, while the author is also pictured with a hat and rings covering their face. The double page spread again features the main model in a shadowy profile shot, looking at the camera to draw the reader in. Overall, the magazine aims to represent its target audience of 18+ fans of alternative music through the styles of both
Evaluation question 2
This document discusses how the media product, a music magazine called "Pulse", represents social groups. It aims to represent white British people of both genders aged similarly to its target audience. Images of both genders are used but dominant images are female. Models used are similar in age to the target audience to increase appeal. Photographs use direct eye contact to create a relationship with the audience and portray female subjects positively as role models. Layout and imagery provide key information simply without overloading the audience. The front cover female challenges conventions by dressing non-provocatively and having a positive facial expression as a role model. Reception theory is important so the audience can relate to the artists and be persuaded to engage with the magazine.
Question 2
This document discusses how a media product represents a particular social group of 16-24 year old rock and indie music fans. It examines the representation of this group in terms of the modeling choices, clothing, hairstyles, makeup, body language, and photography techniques. Specifically, it aims to portray the stereotypes associated with this group, such as dark clothing, tattoos, piercings, and messy hair, while also challenging some stereotypes by having the model take his music seriously and not smile. The document analyzes the similarities and differences between this media product and how other magazines like Kerrang represent this target audience.
