Evaluation: Question 2- How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Posture- both the girls have their arms at their side to show they are relaxed, this also indicates a calmed feeling. Also they are situated in the centre of the shot and on a dark background, which makes them stand out as an individual more.

Camera angle- the camera is at eye level, this will help to sell the magazine as the audience will connect to the artist as they are looking straight at them and therefore they will be drawn to the magazine.

Shot type- I used a medium close up, as this is an appropriate shot type for a magazine, it shows off your artist’s style and also their make up this is something that will right off grab the audience’s attention.

Lighting- in both the photos there is no lighting, this makes the picture stand out, the night background helps the artist to stand out as it means they are both wearing light colours which contrast with the black background. 

Costume- the costumes are similar as they both have low cut tops showing off a little cleavage however not much so they are still reasonably covered up. They are both wearing a simple necklace, which draws their attention.

Expression- the artists both have wide smiles this shows their happiness and goes within the genre of my magazine, as pop is seen as a fun genre. Therefore the expression on the artists face must portray this too.

Makeup- both artists have simple make up on they only have the basic makeup, eye liner, mascara, lip gloss and blusher which shows off the artists complexion well.

Hair- the artist’s hair both are down and in a messy style this shows that they are from a genre where they can have fun and don’t have to be too serious. 

In conclusion my whole magazine represents young men and women to be full of aspiration, strong and independent my photo shows that this young women is no afraid of getting herself into the music industry and she is ready to take on new challenges. Throughout my magazine they are represented as strong willed young people ready to take on the world.
