Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?Serena Bugden
The document summarizes a student's media product representing the rock music genre.

The student believes this supports the target audience by representing the reckless behavior of rock stars.

The dominant ethnicity shown was white/Caucasian due to the author's local demographics. Teenagers and young adults were the main age group featured as they are most influenced by media at that age.
In what ways does my media product represent particular social groups?JodieNiamh287
The document analyzes how images in a music magazine represent different social groups. Photos of younger musicians show them actively playing music, representing them as lively and passionate. Their casual clothing in blue represents youth and devotion to music. Photos of an older, more successful musician are darker and more closed off, representing mystery and wealth. Descriptions of the musicians' clothing, poses, and instruments portray them as typically masculine and fitting rock music stereotypes. The language used also represents the artists as rebellious but caring, innovative but secretive. Overall the images and language represent male musicians of different generations in a way that characterizes the rock music genre.
The document discusses photography research focused on conveying genre through aspects like body language, lighting, facial expressions and location. It analyzes four images of musical bands, noting how elements like central framing, costumes, eyeline and background signify meaning. The lead singer is usually framed as the focus. Locations and poses also aim to represent the genre and appeal to readers. Overall, the research influenced the plan to photograph models for the cover and spread representing stereotypical rock band imagery through poses, costumes and makeup.
The document discusses representing different social groups in a rock music magazine. It compares images from the magazine to those in other publications to show how they portray similar attributes. The front cover image portrays confidence like Paul Weller's image. A young female on the contents page and Avril Lavigne image show independence. A double page spread image in a dark setting represents the rebellious rock genre lifestyle like Liam Gallagher. Other images aim to show people can have their own identity and not follow stereotypes.
Media Evaluation Question 2: How Does Your Media Product Represent A Particul...Beth Sumecki
This document discusses how the author's media product represents fans of rock and metal music. The author researched how this social group is typically portrayed in media as aggressive and violent. Stereotypes include moshing at concerts and associations with punk culture. The author incorporated these stereotypes into the design of the magazine through fonts evoking destruction and loud colors. Photographs of the model were intended to look tough and confident in line with strong female rock icons. Content focused on free posters and festival news to appeal to the target audience's interests in decorating their rooms and attending concerts.
This document analyzes magazine covers and how they represent various artists through visual elements like size, posture, color schemes, backgrounds, and positioning of band members. It discusses how these elements are used to convey meanings like an artist's popularity, seriousness, genre, social class, rebellious attitude, and leadership within a band. The covers are designed intentionally to represent the artists and appeal to their target audiences in certain ways.
The document discusses how a magazine represents particular social groups through its content and imagery. The magazine's target demographic is females aged 16-30 who likely have jobs and interests in music festivals and new artists. Images used in the magazine, such as of artists performing with guitars, represent the laidback, carefree social group that enjoys folk music. Comparing the magazine's cover to those of other publications shows that a simple, serious style with female artists attracts audiences interested in softer, folk genres, while other magazines use different imagery to target different groups.
Both magazines use iconic images of popular rock bands on the front covers to represent the genre of music and attract fans of the bands. They portray the bands wearing all black using serious facial expressions and low camera angles to fit the stereotypical aggressive image associated with rock music. The magazines use colors like black, white and dark greens that symbolize concepts like power, wealth and darkness linked to the rock genre. The typography features words and logos that would be instantly recognizable to fans. Inside, large central images of bands are iconic signs for readers, while the language and informal tone in the contents pages aim to appeal to the teenage audience.
The document summarizes what the author has learned from creating a preliminary magazine task and then developing it into a full magazine product. They note improvements in targeting an audience, creating an eye-catching cover using striking imagery, developing an effective color scheme and house style, and designing an attention-grabbing masthead. The author feels they have gained skills in creating a finished, professional-looking media product through this process of refining and improving their work from a basic preliminary task to a full magazine.
The document describes how a product represents rock music fans through its visuals and language. The cover features a serious band wearing other band shirts. Interior photos show a drummer playing aggressively wearing rock-style clothes. Guitarists and a bassist are also depicted playing and wearing band shirts. Language in the product uses rock-specific terms like "gigs" and "riff" to represent the social group.
The document discusses how the media product, a magazine called FORTE, represents particular social groups.
The target demographic is mainly females aged 16-30 who likely have jobs and can afford things like music and festivals. Images on the cover and in the magazine show artists performing live at festivals to attract this casual, carefree audience that enjoys fun pursuits.
Comparisons are made to existing magazine covers targeting folk music fans, showing how FORTE's cover and layouts feature simple backgrounds and poses to reflect the soft, serious side of folk music appealing to young women. The choice of artists like Sacha, with long hair and acoustic instruments, aims to represent and attract this social group of acoustic music fans.
The document discusses how the media product, a magazine called PUNKED, represents the social group of punk/rock music fans. It does this through the imagery used, which features bands posing in ways that suggest rebellious and tough personalities stereotypical of the genre. Younger models than typical were used to attract a slightly younger audience. Fashion and hairstyles in the images also represent current trends within the younger punk/rock fan demographic. Photography techniques like mid shots highlight instruments to represent the musician profession. Clothing worn conforms to typical punk styles but appears high quality to attract a wider, middle class audience.
The document summarizes how the media product attracts and addresses its intended audience. It uses a bright, bold slogan at the top to grab attention and convey that the magazine offers more than others. The front cover features a strong, independent female image representing the target demographic of teenage and young adult R&B fans. Additional inside images continue portraying independent, sexy yet modest female poses and styles to appeal to both male and female readers. The color scheme aims to be accessible to both genders as well. Overall the magazine aims to attract its target R&B audience while also appealing to a wider variety of readers.
The document discusses feedback received from an audience on a magazine design. Key points from the feedback included that some fonts did not work well together, the red color did not suit the skyline, the white border was messy, and there was too much text on one side of the page. The designer took this feedback and made changes to the design, such as removing the border, changing fonts and sizes, and decreasing text in some areas. Researching conventions from other magazines also helped the designer improve the professional look and target their intended audience better.
Common camera movement and shots used in horror06rali
The document discusses several common camera shots and movements used in horror movies. Close-ups are used to draw attention to important details and elicit emotions from viewers by focusing on characters or objects. Handheld camera shots mimic the feel of documentaries and add shakiness to create tension. Establishing shots provide context by introducing settings. Point-of-view shots allow viewers to see through a character's eyes. Zooming in on objects builds suspense and fear in audiences. These techniques are effective tools for horror directors to manipulate emotions and immerse viewers.
The student learned several important lessons from their preliminary magazine task that improved their final product. For the final magazine, the student conducted more thorough market research, planned photo shoots carefully with proper lighting and backgrounds, and learned key Photoshop skills to effectively edit images. The student also improved their design layout, typography, and took more time to create multiple drafts and get feedback. Overall, the student learned to be better organized and persistent through the entire process.

A survey was conducted to gather information to help name and design a new music magazine. Respondents were asked their preferred name for the magazine, how much they would pay for each issue, what color scheme would appeal to them, and their favorite music genre. The top answers for magazine name were "On the Beat", "Music City", and "Popular Music". Most said they would pay £2-3 per issue. Black & gold and red & white were favored color schemes. Rock, pop, and hip hop were the most popular music genres.
The document outlines a music magazine project that aims to create a front page, contents page, and double page spread for a music magazine. The project will involve investigating existing music magazines and items from the music industry to produce aspects of an original magazine and evaluate the work completed. Costumes, props, research, and design elements will be incorporated into the project.

As you can see the conventions used differ form rock music
as analysing this has help me see what not to do when
creating my rock magazine and it also highlights to me what I
should include.
3. A selection of differing magazine covers
R&B Indie HIP HOP Rock POP
6. Double page spread
A double page spread consists of two page side by side of textual material
including an article referred to in the contents page and several images or
one large image across both pages supported by the article beside. For
example a double page spread could consist of several pictures of band
members and an article mentioning their live performance at a night club. It
would also consist of another but short article mentioning the band will be
performing again in that club in the summer.
7. Analysis of a magazine cover The Main image is a long shot of four band members the use of the long shot allows there to
be a hierarchy within the image of band members holding back one of the members. Due to
him being a lot closer it creates this ideology that to enjoy this type of music you must
behave like them . During the 1960’s this is what the audience had expected from the rooling
stones, as they were old-school rock they viewed rock as complete rebellion this was evident
in the mise-en-scene as it is set on the side of the streets this was used to emphasize such
uncivilised behaviour in public and to them is conveyed as the norm. This supports the view
that fans of this are stereotyped to behave in this way as they have fond of it.
The use of body language clearly conveys an element of animosity. This is evident as the other
characters are vigorously holding back the band member suggests rebellion on his behalf and
the other members attempting to tame his attempt to brake the rules . This portrays this
behaviour to be associated with the type of music as it suggests people who listen and are a
fan of this music behave in the same way. Their facial all portray differing emotions it seams
to soften the further you go down the line suggesting the differing views on “rules” this could
be foreshadowing the reform in rock. That modern rock isn’t as rebellious as old school rock
its almost as it they have excepted society for the way it is. The use of cinematography is as if
it’s a blinding light like the police helicopters have this reinforces the this idea of defiance .If
this is the case then then connotation of this image would the male at the front is attempting
to run away from the authorities however the other three have stopped him this then explain
his stance as it is slouched in an attempt to run.
This magazine is a perfect example of when its not following the typical convention of a magazine as the pull quote’s and the puff is initially
suppose to be on the sides of the magazine so it essayer to see when on the shelves of a shop. The idea of it, its suppose to be on the left
hand of the page so as a costumer walks past they can see the pull quote that would intrigue them to pick it up however this magazine does
not follow the tradition as their typography is written underneath the main image. This convey their disobedience to follow social
conventions as this what satisfies their demographic as the core of rock is rebellion.
The use of the typography supports there rebellious behaviour as it is states in the anchorage ‘Meet the Vines Rock is back’. This is written in
bold with the use of capital letters a red boarder and a exclamation mark . This creates the illusion that that there shouting it out in a
aggressive tone . The use of the phrase suggests that the vines are going to bring rock back inferring that their appropriate societal rules have
been replaced .The use of the colour red conveys anger and violence which emphasizes the behaviour of a person enjoys rock . The outburst
of emotions show that this is the convectional behaviour for such a society. The use of the superlative “EXCLUSIVE! GUNS N’ ROSES LIVE” is
used to grab the readers attention the most common way magazine companies do this is by mentioning a famous artist on the front cover
to promote their magazine for them which was why in the pull quote it mentioned other bands .
8. Front cover analysis The front cover of this rock magazine features many typical conventions of a rock magazine.
As rock is a dark and loud genre it is not only a music but it has become fashion trend within
society. This is convey through the use of the main image it is a close up shot showing a hierarchy
this depicts all rock fans as extremely rebellious and believe they cannot be tamed .This close up
shot is of a man with smoke flowing out of his mouth. Regardless to the mans face mise-en-scene
is black the colour black symbolises anger ,power , depth, an enigma which are all elements of
the rock atmosphere as the rock band rolling stones were not accustom to social rule’s as the
puff state “Life is to loud” the connotation of this would be that the world is to great to be
constantly restricting your self . The fact that he is smoking and is wearing makeup it targets the
audiences expectation as it is giving them a look to aspire to. The use of props such as the smoke
give of the impression that to be a real rock fan then you must look and behave like this man .The
smoke and the make up suggest he has attitude however the magazine glamorise it inferring this
is what every woman wants in a man and this is what ever man should aspire to look like the
magazine is a cross genre. The rock industry has attempt to dominate this ideology in hope they
would sell as many copies .The fact that he has a direct mode of address s represents his
fearlessness of braking out of the typical conventions of society that make them feel the need to
constantly monitor behaviour. This notion is supported by the typography of the masthead
“KERRENG!” The white lines in it creates the illusion that it has been smashed reinforcing the
violent and rebellious attitude of a rock star. The fact that it is written in bold with the colour
black and white lines in it can on the other hand represent the change in attitude over periods
of time .white can represent the good emerging in rock artists as 21 century rock has reformed
itself compared to old school rock there not as rebellious.
The use of the anchorage HIM takes focuses of the image suggesting that sometimes the artist gets away with behaving
inappropriately the main image conveys nonconformity and the caption is attempting to aid his success as it limits focus of the
image as it is rather large the extra lines on the H reminds you of the strings on a guitar this satisfies their targets audience which
are in fact rock fan people who shear the love for the music. The use of the pun life is loud is their to attract the readers so it is
more likely for them to pike it up of the shop shelf if there is a pun that interests them. In addition to this the fact that the
magazine are giving away free posters suggests that that it is their for advertisement for the magazine as many costumers buy
the magazine due to some incentive inside intriguing them. The use of puffs and pulls all for the same purpose the fact that it
says plus Ozzy Osborne infers that the use of other well known artists in your magazine becomes a form of is advertisement as
the majority would wont to read about it. The use of the pull quote “The amazing resurrection of ville valo” intrigues the
readers through the use of the word amazing it over sells the story in the in the front cover insuring that you buy a copy of the
magazine.

11. Analysis of double page spread The double page spared of this music magazine beholds features many
elements of a rock genre. The mise-en-scene is one of the highlighting
elements of the genre the use of black and skulls symbolise death,
darkness and destruction these are many attributes that the their
demographic are expected to see. As it all symbolise ‘s an enigma which
is what intrigues the target audience. This beholds a cross genre as it
appeals to both men and women’s desires. The use of the contrast black
conveys the trend in rebellion emerged from rock music and the white
is a representation of the authorities and their feelings toward the rule as
white is symbolised for purity however black is a symbol for evil . The fact
that a lot of the white is gradually taking away the black suggests the
perception of rock has changed over time gradually it is not becoming as
rebellious as the Roiling stones. On the other hand It could also covey
how rebellious and aggressive rock music is .This image suggests rock is
graffiti on society. Inferring that sometimes it can be considered as art
but the majority of the time people view it as vandalism.
When analysing the double page spread I see that it does no stick to the typical conventions where the writing is on the
right and the picture is on the left this portrays the genres rebellions attempt against the conventional social conventions.
The use of the typography as being inappropriate “I miss being Fucked up!” supports this assumption as this phrase
symbolises a stereotypical view of a rock stars life style dugs, money, drink , sex and music . The image of the nude man is
a medium long shot allowing you to see his many of his tattoos this attempts to appeals to wide demographic as the fact
that he is top less subjects him as a sex object however men also aspire to his tattoos as it makes his fans believe this is
what a man is suppose to look like . The fact that he has a tattoo of a woman near his hear may reinforce the homophobic
view that men are initially supposes to be with women.
12. Analysis of a double page spread
The double page spread of has many features of a rock magazine. The
typography consists of the colours white , black, red and pink. These are
the traditional dark colours that symbolises the passion and rage of rock.
The complete wild and free spirited behaviour that the rest of society view
as being rebellious and anti. The colours present anger, passion, power and
love. These are all attributes that the audience expect to see from rock
artists.
The main image has a visual hierarchy across both pages. They show an
image of three band members trip in up on of the other band members..
This conveys their animosity and their attempt to break from the typical
social expectation. When assessing their stance you can see that the mode
in the front is close to falling he is a representation of the rest of society
and it highlight the rebellion of rock stars. This depicts an view of rock
stars as being really destructive and defiant this is supported buy the fact
the other band members foot is in their tripping him up as he has a smile
on his face.
The article uses several close up and medium close up shot ‘s in black and white to convey the rock stars buzzy style
.The have a direct mode of address to essentially portray the life of a rock star and their unwillingness to change to
please society. The images are all cluttered around the page to portrays the music as it is loud and full of passion just
like the photos on this page. The cinematography on the small images is darker as the images are in black and white as
mentioned before ,it captures the darkness the music which then is expected the fans to behave in this same
demeanour.
The heeding captives all the elements of rock “Dirty little secrets “ the fact that it is written in pink and red suggest that
is it a cross genre . The statement highlights the obsessive and rebellious antics.
13. Compare the double page spreads
As you can see both double page spreads are completely differing in genera.
The first double page spread has completely opposing conventions to the
second as they are targeting differing audiences. The first magazine is R&B
which usually stereotyped as being misogynistic this is due to them
glamorising oppressive views about women which is usually done through
the use of objectifying women as sexual object. For example the main
image is a close up shot to resemble intimacy. The use of the choler covering
half her lip is desirable towards her demographic which are men however
the music itself posses a hybrid genre. The use of make up and the fact that
she has a direct mode of address reinforces the ideology that sex sells so its
an attempt to address their target audience. The use of make up was to
highlight her feminine qualities .The use of pink for the background for the
text supports this notion as pink is a feminine colour. The typography in the
headline is white and in bold this is so that is goes well with the chosen
image and colours.
In comparison to the other double page spread which is not attempting to
sell the music through sex but sear passion and the love that people have in
rock music. This is evident in the main image as it symbolises the ferocity of
the music. The colours black and white represents the innocents of the music
as just all about the music and nothing ells and black represents the anger
and passion that rock music consists of. The main image is a long shot this
was done to show evidence of the aggressiveness of the music if you
examine her stance you can see her knees are bent and her head is tilt far
back this allows you to visualise how much power and passion must go into
making a rock song. The costumes worn are black and white and the women
is wearing leather which depicts attitude and danger. The typography is
written in black bold writing to state the music’s dominance within the
industry .The use of props such as the guitar and the drum set are typical
conventions of a rock magazine as it addresses the audiences expectation.
14. Compare contents pages
This two contents pages have completely opposing conventions for one
the first contents page it has one main image where it is a long shot
this allows you to look a both women from there bottom upwards
subjecting women to becoming objectified as sexual objects however
the two women purposely do this to target their demographic which
are men . This is supported by their choose in costume it is reviling to
grab the attention. The use of the long shot allow them to have a visual
hierarchy to have the best possible shot in selling.
R&B
In contrast to the first magazine the rock contents page has a variety of
images with the use of a full range of camera shots across the two
pages to represent the volume and energy of the music some of the
images contain live concerts to portray the attempt to uses the music
to sell the magazine and do not rely on sex to do the job. Many of
these shots are medium close ups for example the image of the man
with the tattoos screaming this represents the tough manly, rebellious
attitude that the rock industry consisted of. The contents include many
rock artists such as green day this targets there audience expectation.
Their demographic is a cross genre.

15. Thought process that went into
designing my masthead .
When deciding a mast head it was one of the trickiest decisions so first I went on to the internet and
gathered some research on different possible mastheads for inspiration. Then I went around the school
asking student of possible mastheads for my rock magazine I discovered I was time consuming and many
of the answers I was getting back was not worth using so I created a survey and sent it around the whole
school one of my questions was “what would you name a rock magazine” Then I gathered all the answers
I had and created a spider diagram in to it so I am able to visually see it .Some of the answers that I got
back were really good and had completely suited the conventions of my magazine which was why I had
found it difficult to decide between the riftt and MBS=music , bands and singers so I went around and
asked 10 people which one did they prefer and seven of the ten said they preferred the riftt. So now I
had the name I needed the right font to use as I was creating a rock magazine I wanted my font to look
gothic to I went on the internet and looked at websites such as da font and 1001fonts and finally after a
while I font myself the perfect font that a rock audience to see.so I drew it out as a mock up to see what
it would look like on a peace of paper and submitted it to my blog.
