Foundation Production Evaluation Q2

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

The main character used for my magazine has no obvious in-depth social group. I have represented her to be focused within a more 'country' social group i.e. stereo-typically Texas, America. She is represented also to be the age 19. Because my magazine is targeting the age group between 13 and 17, she can be seen almost as a role model. Again, she shows no obvious ethnic or social group that she would be part of, as this may upset the reader if it were realistic.

The magazine itself represents some particular social groups. Again, it aims to be read by 13-17 year old girls and no one else. It doesn't represent a particular ethical group, but more for social groups. If the magazine were to be published, it wouldn't be a pricey glossy magazine, but a simple, cheaper magazine. This would show that it represents mainly the middle class, and a little bit of the lower class; not really being appealing for the higher class.
 
 
  • Compared to the more rock style of popstars, the model I have taken photos of is much more cleaner.
  • She isn't completely plastered with bright make-up.
  • She isn't posing in a raunchy way compared to artists like Katy Perry or Beyonce.
