Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?
I have aimed for my product to represent “rockers” or fans of the rock/metal genre. I believe I have conveyed this in various ways. On my cover in particular I believe it shows a stereotypical member of the genre. It is a photo of a male with long dyed hair (in the form of a wig) I did this because there is a large proportion of men with long hair or at least a less normal hair cut in this social group. My second point is how he is posed/standing… he is showing some clear attitude or swagger. And it is common in the social group to have some attitude as generally they are not accepted due to them expressing them selves etc. Expressing yourself is a key feature in their social group and I think that I have achieved a replication of this in the colour scheme I chose to use… it consists of darker colours that members of the rock scene seem to wear, much like the character on my cover.
