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


To the left is one of the pictures that I took and next to that is one of Jessie J, a famous R&B artist that I got from the internet. I've chosen to show both these images so that I can show how my magazine represents particular social groups.

The poses of both images are very similar. They both have their hands away from their sides, either on their hips or just behind their hips. Both females are wearing similar outfits, both black and tight fitting. Their hair is also very alike in the sense that they both have dark hair and fringes that cover their foreheads and finish just past their eyebrows. The backgrounds are also similar. The image that I took was in a bathroom and my artist was stood in the actual bath, whereas I'm not quite sure where the other picture was taken but, they both have tiles in the background and the lighting is slightly darker on one side in both images. Overall I think that these elements of the photos represent a normal young social group and that my magazine reflects this throughout – the person featured in my magazine looks normal but in a more interesting way compared to any other normal person which is why young females would aspire to be like my artists, so that they could stand out and be unique.
