1. HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT
REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL
GROUPS?
2. Through my research I found that it was mostly females that were featured in
the magazines, I decided that I would also use this for my magazine. By using
a female to feature in my magazine it meant that my target audience of females
would be able to personally relate to the artist.
3. SHOT TYPES
My front cover image was a close up eye line shot. This created a direct mode
of address with the audience. This meant that my target audience of late teens
to mid twenties can relate and have a connection to the featured artist.
Most of the Images that I used for my magazine were medium close ups. I
used several images of the featured artist to establish the importance they have
to the magazine.
4. The image on my double page spread conforms to the images in the music
magazines that I researched. I have used a medium close up and I placed it on
the left page with the text on the right. This means that the audience will see
the image and then be drawn in and want to read the article.
5. IMAGES
The images that I have used in my magazine are mainly of young
females that are In the same age range as my target audience. This is
good as it makes it easy for the audience to relate to them. The direct
address forms a personal relationship making them interested and want
to read the magazine.
The model I have used in plainly dressed in black which creates a
sophisticated look which also reflects my target audience.
6. IDEOLOGY
Overall my product allowed the audience to relate with the featured
artist. Having the ability to do this caused the audience to create
personal relationships, and would maintain a fan base for the artist. I
was able to create this through the positioning of my shot types and
direct mode of address.
