Question 2- How does your media product represent particular social groups ?

My media product represents a particular social

group, this is because my magazine is aimed at a certain type of music, indie.

Photographs

The ways in which I have presented my magazine as indie is by the images.

The images look indie with what they are wearing and their body language.

I think this image comes across indie with the clothing she is wearing and her overall body language.

The shoes she is wearing are indie, bands such as Blur and Arctic Monkeys wear these type of shoes.

The overall clothing that she is wearing is fashionable indie clothing.

The overall way she has presented her self in this image and the background makes the audience wonder what she is doing.

This images comes across indie with the stylish clothing he is wearing, Also the style of his hair and the body language.

This picture is indie with his overall clothing choice.

I like the overall background and theme of this image, this is because it lets the audience know that he is from Liverpool. I don't think the image makes him look anymore indie than he is but I think it gives the audience a good idea on his background and makes people want to read more about him.

Language

The language I used in my magazine is informal as I think it represents my social group, indie more.

Cover lines

• The reason I have presented my cover lines in this language is because I think informal would attract more as my target audience is 16- 28 years of age. I have also wrote about indie bands in my cover lines, this is because this will attract people more than rock bands or even band they don't know about.

Colour

• I used the colours red, white and black thought out my magazine because when i undertook my questionnaire these were the most popular colours. Also when looking at other indie magazines such as Q and NME this was their colour scheme.
