Question 2
- 1. How does the media product represent a particular social group? Question 2
- 2. The social group I have decided to represent and target are young adults who have a passion and interest for rap music, they will be the social groups of lower and middle class living in varied locations including the UK and America. My magazine focuses on new music but appreciates and throwbacks to classic hip hop. My demo graphs would be 90% male and 10% female who are between the ages of 15-22. I have portrayed this niche social group by using certain fonts, language and colours. I used a mixture of formal and street language and phrases so it represents the social group and it’s relatable. I used mis en scene to represent a rap artist and anyone who follows or is involved in the hip hop culture by my front cover model wearing street wear . My model being white represents the social group as equal and having no discrimination and to break stereo types. I have represented Elijah Gold as having a positive influence on the audience by showing that rap can be good and you do not have to be a gangster to make music and you don’t have to be a certain skin colour or race.
- 3. When starting to research into the type of magazine I wanted to create there wasn't much content that appealed to me being a fan of a niche genre so this gave me inspiration to make a rap magazine to appeal to anyone who makes, enjoys and listens to rap music. Throughout my pages I reflected the age of technophiles by advertising social media and promoting technology. Overall I believe I have represented the social group well through my magazine, it shows a challenge that everyone faces in life and it shows one way to face it. After researching more into the culture of hip hop I feel I have portrayed the genre well through colours, speech and images. I believe my magazine would spark interest in my target audience.
- 4. The information in my article would appeal to the hip hop community as they are interested in the content or can relate. Therefore the message behind the article is that no matter who you are or what you look like you can still follow your aspirations the article could appeal to those in similar circumstances to Elijah so the purpose of the magazine is to inspire people of the social group.
