Evaluation Question 2

Blog 61

Hello Everyone,

         Today, I answered question 2 of my evaluation. Here are my answers to question 2 of my evaluation.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My main model who appears on my double page spread and front cover is a blonde white teenage girl; she links to the image of teenagers as she’s wearing trainers rather than heels this shows she’s a teen as Florence is shown in heels in her double page spread in Q and she’s an adult. Ellie’s clothes show she’s a fashion conscious teenage girl, this is apparent as I’ve presented her in 2 different outfits on my magazine. However, during the process of getting the photos I wanted I took images of her in up to 5 different outfits.

In my contents page I have a mixture of girls and boys. The girls are all just casual and posing for the pictures however, the boys are quite active as one boy is buttoning up his jacket and the other has his hands in his pockets this conforms to the stereotype that females faces are enough to make a statement and are comfortable getting their picture taken whereas males are more “camera shy” and have to be doing something as If their face isn’t enough to make a statement.
