This document discusses how a magazine represents particular social groups through its content and design. It represents an older generation interested in theater through references to classic actors and musicals, and an old-fashioned font and black-and-white photography style. It also aims to represent drama and theater students by featuring a young cover star who is a fan of theater with big dreams, to relate to that target audience. The magazine's niche focus and authentic retro design are meant to appeal to these social groups.

1. Q: HOW DOES YOUR
MEDIA PRODUCT
REPRESENT
PARTICULAR SOCIAL
GROUPS?

2. SOCIAL GROUP
 One social group my magazine would represent and appeal is
possible the older generation that enjoy going to the theatre a lot, they
therefore may earn a high income.
 By referencing older actors/actresses/musicals such as Barbra
Streisand, Judy Garland and Singin’ in the Rain, it is more likely that
the older generation will be aware of these than younger people
nowadays.

3.  A way in which I have represented this social group in my editing is by
using the old fashioned bulbs of the Broadway/Hollywood sign.
By using this style of font, I have created an old fashioned and classic look, which
fits in with the social group I hope to attract. I like the idea of making a magazine
for a niche market, as there may be a limited amount of people who will link the
editing to this certain genre.

4.  Another way I have represented this social group is the photography
techniques I used to create an old fashioned effect.
By using photography and editing like this, I
have created a classic and fashionable look for
my cover star which would hopefully attract
the social group of an older generation.
By editing my main image to a black and white
effect I think I have created an authentic look
which would resemble magazines that were
made decades ago.

5. SOCIAL GROUP
 Another social group my magazine could represent is drama/theatre
students who are either interested in going into theatre or just have an interest
in musicals.
 For an example of this social
group, I can go back to my
audience profile and use the
character Rachel Berry from
TV show ‘Glee.’

6.  I have represented these people by making my cover star quite
young and have her be a theatre fan with big dreams from when she
was younger. I chose to make my cover star like this so she could
relate to the audience I was aiming to attract.
 If my magazine was to be sold in an actual shop, I would hope
that aspiring performers would relate to my cover star.
