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

Posture/Gesture - The pose i got my models to do (Left) is very similar to the one of Rizzle Kicks (Right). Both models have got their backs to each other just like Rizzle Kicks have, I used this style of pose because the models are for a girl group which is a duo and Rizzle Kicks are a duo band so I thought it would suit it well.

Angle - The angle is Eye level and shows the models looking directly at the camera. The models are also side on and as there are two of them it is also a two shot. However the one of rizzle kicks looks like its a slightly lower angle to my photo, but the models are both side on and looking at the camera.

Shot type - My photo is a medium close up where as I would say the one on the right is a medium shot. They are both also two shots. I would say the shot types are both suited as it portrays what they are really like as an artist and can tell the genre through the image and the clothes they wear.

Lighting - Both mine and the image of rizzle kicks are shot in high key lighting, however my image was more high key, you can see a bit of a glow if you look on the models skin on there faces which is reflecting the light.

Costumes - Both mine and the image on the right includes models wearing laid back clothing. In my image the clothing is more casual where as rizzle kicks is more relaxed and portrays them as funny, cheeky people just wanting to have a laugh. Where as compared to rizzle kicks my models look more serious.

Expressions - In both images the models are looking straight at the camera and are smiling however on the right Harley is smiling with his mouth open showing his teeth.

I have represented young people as happy and mature. My models are teenagers as younger people will attract the target audience so having young models fits in well with the genre of the magazine. My models are there to set an example to the young viewers of the magazine.

I have represented gender throughout my magazine by only using female models as my magazine is aimed at females, however there are mentions of males throughout but the main story includes female models. I thought this would attract my target market more.
