The males are shown working with serious faces, signifying focusing on their music. Females are shown listening to music and wearing makeup, implying they are DJs or going out. The author chose to portray the groups this way to confirm stereotypes of their target audience of 16-28 year olds who enjoy dance and club music, and to depict the activities positively.

represent particular social groups?
2. The social groups used in my magazine
and how they are represented
The social groups used in my magazine are youth, two different
genders, young females, young males and dj’s.
The way these are represented are in are a happy but serious
way, they look like there enjoying what there doing but it looks like
there taking a lot of thought into it. They fit the stereotypical group.
They are also shown in a positive way because they are enjoying
what they are doing and they look like they fit in to the what they
are doing, they don’t look out place.

this well. The mise en scene of this picture is that she

4. Why they are shown this way
I have chosen to show the people in my images this way because i
believe it confirms the stereotypical person from ages 16 to 28 who
enjoys dance and clubbing music. I also believe that because the
images was going to apply to my target audience a lot, i would like
to have shown them in a positive way. It also fits great with my
genre of music, because showing them has djing doing working and
have a good time which shows its a positive thing and would apply
to my target audience the best.
