1. Question 2
How does your media product represent particular
social groups?
In my magazine, age groups are mainly focused on people between 16-23
years old. This can be seen through the images as they have young artists on
them and it focuses on clubbing in hot countries which most people between
this age group tend to do in the summer holidays. They are represented as
vibrant, young and fun members. The artist are wearing shorts and a skirt
with sunglasses which links to the theme of a summer edition as it is getting
to the point where people are booking their summer holidays away to places
like Ibiza and magaluf which is where most stereotypical
people of this age group go away to.
In terms of gender, females are seen as more popular
and famous. They are dressed club like so they look like
dancer and DJs. Their social class is meant to seem an
average of lower middle class. This is because it will hit
a wider audience and people will be more appealed to
it. For lower middle class people can afford to go away
to places and can afford to go out to clubs
regularly.Most people of this genre are seen as regular drinkers and social
groups. This links to the socializing of dancing and going out.As the colour
purple is used, it is bright and vibrant so it helps to link to the young
generation and the idea of lights in a club.Middle and upper middle class
won’t be aimed at this magazine because they are
seen to be more mature and will pay for a more
expensive magazine.
