Q: HOW DOES YOUR

MEDIA PRODUCT

REPRESENT

PARTICULAR SOCIAL

GROUPS?

SOCIAL GROUP

One social group my magazine would represent and appeal is

possible the older generation that enjoy going to the theatre a lot, they

therefore may earn a high income.

By referencing older actors/actresses/musicals such as Barbra

Streisand, Judy Garland and Singin’ in the Rain, it is more likely that

the older generation will be aware of these than younger people

nowadays.

A way in which I have represented this social group in my editing is by

using the old fashioned bulbs of the Broadway/Hollywood sign.

By using this style of font, I have created an old fashioned and classic look, which

fits in with the social group I hope to attract. I like the idea of making a magazine

for a niche market, as there may be a limited amount of people who will link the

editing to this certain genre.

Another way I have represented this social group is the photography

techniques I used to create an old fashioned effect.

By using photography and editing like this, I

have created a classic and fashionable look for

my cover star which would hopefully attract

the social group of an older generation.

By editing my main image to a black and white

effect I think I have created an authentic look

which would resemble magazines that were

made decades ago.

SOCIAL GROUP

Another social group my magazine could represent is drama/theatre

students who are either interested in going into theatre or just have an interest

in musicals.

For an example of this social

group, I can go back to my

audience profile and use the

character Rachel Berry from

TV show ‘Glee.’

I have represented these people by making my cover star quite

young and have her be a theatre fan with big dreams from when she

was younger. I chose to make my cover star like this so she could

relate to the audience I was aiming to attract.

If my magazine was to be sold in an actual shop, I would hope

that aspiring performers would relate to my cover star.
