HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?

PAIGE ATKINS

QUESTION TWO

My media product is a Pop Alternative Magazine aimed at teenage girls and in some cases boys

MY MAGAZINE REPRESENTS MY TARGET AUDIENCE AS MORE MATURE AND SOPHISTICATED AND FEATURES TOPICS SUITED FOR BOTH GENDERS

THE COLOUR SCHEME IS PURPLE, BROWN, WHITE AND BLACK AS THESE ARE NATURALLY SUITED FOR BOYS AND GIRLS AND CAN BE SUITED FOR BOTH GENDERS WHICH MY MAGAZINE TARGETS.

MY MAIN STORIES COULD REPRESENT MY TARGET AUDIENCE AS ARTICLES FEATURE ARTISTS AND BANDS THAT REFLECT THE MAGAZINE GENRE AND THE TARGET AUDIENCE INTERESTS.

WOMEN ARENT EXPLOITED AS THE MAIN TARGET AUDIENCE ARE FEMALE. I HAVE INCORPORATED ASPECTS OF LAURA MULVEYS MALE GAZE THEORY AS MY MODEL MAY BE ASPIRATIONAL FOR THE AUDIENCE TO LOOK UP TO IN APPEARANCE HAS HER MAKE-UP IS SUBTLE AND INNOCENT LOOKING AND A CLOSE-UP SHOT REPRESENTS THE MODEL IN A POSITIVE WAY BY JUST SHOWING HER FACE AND NECK.

FOCUSES ON POP ALTERNATIVE MUSIC GENRE AND WILL TARGET DIFFERENT SOCIAL GROUPS ACROSS A BROAD RANGE OF MY AUDIENCES PSYCHOGRAPHICS AND DEMOGRAPHICS CREATE A WIDE AUDIENCE WHICH CREATES BIGGER PROFIT FOR MY MAGAZINE.
