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

 

Evaluation 2

The title of my magazine 'Amp'ed' represents a rock themed social group as the word itself 'Amp'ed' is an adjective which suggests lots of energy which is what rock music is often associated with for example at concerts rock bands are very lively and create lots of energy getting the crowd going and creating a great experience, therefore when someone hears the name of my magazine they will think of that style of music as it cant really be associated with any other genre of music. The theme of the title is very punk/rock as it is black which is often associated with rock and punk bands also it is cracked which looks rebelious which is what punk stands for, therefore it could represent fans of punk, thus drawing a wider audience in as it appeals to diffrent social groups.

The image above is of models and with a leeds festival and T in the park festival wristband, this represents a wide audience but one that relates to my magazine as festivals appeal to almost every social group as at festivals there are lots of diffrent bands and genres of music which appear at the festival for example leeds festival often has alot of rock bands as in 2011 which that wristband is from there were bands like Enter Shikari, Muse, Rise Against, Bring Me The Horizon and The Blackout. These are some of the bands or bands of a simillar genre which appeal to my target audience, they represent diffrent social groups. The image of the wristbands represents the social group of people who go to festivals, it makes the magazine more appealing to them drawing them in making them want to buy the magazine therefore expanding my magazines target audience.

 

This image represents a punk/rock social group because the image represents rebellious behaviour much like the style of the title of my magazine. The location of the photo makes it look  destroyed and like the guitar has been hit off the wall many times, this image shows a clear genre for my magazine and this then makes it more appealing to a social groups base on this genre of music.
