How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social groups used in my magazine and how they are represented

The social groups used in my magazine are youth, two different genders, young females, young males and dj’s.

The way these are represented are in are a happy but serious way, they look like there enjoying what there doing but it looks like there taking a lot of thought into it. They fit the stereotypical group. They are also shown in a positive way because they are enjoying what they are doing and they look like they fit in to the what they are doing, they don’t look out place.

How they are shown

The denations of the male is that he is working and he has a serious face. The connations of this could mean that he is contracting on the work he is doing. This signifies that the dj in this picture is making music Also he is wearing headphones around his neck which would connate that he is a dj. Also the ideological of a dj is to have head phones on therefore he fits this well.

The denations of this picture is that there a female with head phones on her head. She has got eye make up on and lip stick. The connations of this could be that she is a dj because it is the ideological thing that dj wear headphones when there are working. Also it looks like she is listening to music, maybe listening the her own music that she is playing. The mise en scene of this picture is that she has had her makeup done because of the eye shadow and the lip stick. This could imply that she is that is going out tonight like any young adult would be.

Why they are shown this way

I have chosen to show the people in my images this way because i believe it confirms the stereotypical person from ages 16 to 28 who enjoys dance and clubbing music. I also believe that because the images was going to apply to my target audience a lot, i would like to have shown them in a positive way. It also fits great with my genre of music, because showing them has djing doing working and have a good time which shows its a positive thing and would apply to my target audience the best.
