Question 2: How does your media product represent social groups?
Age My media product is associated with people, often girls, of
around 10-12 years old, often known as Pre-Teens or Tweens.
This particular age are interested at this stage in the latest fashion, boy bands and makeup.
This age group are more likely to purchase my music magazine, because it includes interests of that particular age group
Age This particular age group is represented in my music
magazine through the particular language choices used on my front cover, contents page and double page spread
In the contents page, I use language such as, “Latest Goss”
In my Double Page Spread, I have used language such as,
Gender The gender that is put across in my music magazine is girls
My magazine represents the girl gender, through the colour scheme that I have used in my magazine, the clothes the artist is wearing and the text used in my double page spread
The colour scheme is primarily bright colours that appeal to girls, including bright pinks, yellows and sky blues.
Also, the text used in my front cover and contents page also fit in with the gender, because they also use bright colours and are easy to read for the gender
Also, the topics that are mentioned in my music magazine fit into this gender, as it includes makeup, boys and TV.
Gender Girls are usually portrayed in films as being interested
in boys, makeup, boy bands
How they are represented They are represented in my CVI through the use of a
young artist for my front cover and for my double page spread
In my Double Page Spread, they are represented by the questions that are being asked to the artist, such as what clothes she wears and whether she wears any makeup or not
