Question 2 is: How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My notes for answering this question are:
I think the two main social groups that I have
represented in my magazine is Teenagers and young adults (from around 14-25),
and the indie genre.
The stereotypes of the ‘indie’ group are:
o
The ‘indie’ group-
dedicated to music, fashion consious and like to
shop at vintage shops, enjoy festivals and gigs, are laid back and fun loving,
are environmentally friendly and their style is edgy (often sporting the
messy hair look and mis-matched clothing), confident in themselves
The stereotypes of teenagers
and young people are:
o
Age
= teens- rebellious, youthful, want to have fun, fashion conscious
As
part of my research I conducted questionnaire which helped a lot in the
creation of a magazine which is suitable for the target audience
Represented
in Mag
- Front- festival,
edgy style, messy hair + feathers (hilly), laidback (outdoors), vintage (Polaroid’s), environmentally
friendly (outdoors)
-Contents- edgy style (different shaped boxes, Hilly’s
awkward pose, font), festivals + gigs

laughing, editor’s note style of writing), environmentally friendly (hilly and
Hannah)
-DPS- edgy (Hilly’s hair, expression, leaf,
polaroid’s on slant, font in different colours, article content, other images),
festivals (mentioned in article), confident (small picture of hilly on steps),
environmentally friendly (outdoors, nature, leaf, meditation-suggests Buddhist?),
dedicated to music (new album).
o
Gender = both (say about hilly-edgy, cath
& amy- feminine, Hannah-relatable, Josh)
Compare to other photos of the genre.
