How does your media product represent paticular social groups?

Their middle class upbringing means that the fashion sense of these people will be very similar to the male present on my front cover. The clothes will be of a good standard possibly branching into select designer items. They will be minimalistic as they do not wish to stand out but still want to appear visually appealing. This can be said about the images below. One image is from my magazine and the other is from NME

With regards to their looks both characters have very similar hairstyles; very messy and unstructured. This is the look most indie guitar musicians have in this present day. Thus meaning my imagery is up to date.

. Both characters body language is very similar, they both appear to be very uncomfortable with there arms overlaid upon their bodies. On both images the character has an eyeline match. This is essential to draw the reader in as it adresses them and makes it feel like they are making eye contact with a star.

However the lighting on the images isn't similar; one image is substantaily brighter than the other. This is due to the production costs involved, the one with more light can put extra expense into making the image look this way which is unlike the other image.

In conclusion, my target social group is very up to date as they follow trends set by those who are in the music scene. As well as being influenced with regards to looks, my group as follow the inspiration behind the artists. In my article, I have asked my interviewee about his influences as I found this happened in real music magazines. Instead of just reading about them my group seek out and listen to these bands. I can tell this because these questions wouldn't of been asked if they weren't judged to be neccasary. 
The same theory I feel applies to the musicains beliefs. Most young people will follow the ideals of their favourite musicians. Radiohead for example, support the Occupy Movement and post about this following on their website http://radiohead.com/.So young people are being influenced politically by their favourite musicians as well as being influenced visually.
