EVALUATION QUESTION 2 (How does your media product represent particular social groups?)



The Models are both looking to the side in the pictures, and neither of the two is looking at the camera. Both shots are close ups, and are not at a straight angle. My photograph is angled below the model looking up, and although the camera is still below Macklemore's head, it is a much more acute angle. This makes my model look more imposing and bigger, whilst also making Macklemore look quite arrogant.  The models have both got a slightly ‘cheeky’ expression, with Macklemore looking slightly more serious than Josh who looks content.  The background of the images are different, with my image looking being shot against a brick wall to give off a ‘street’ vibe, compared to a more wide open setting for the left picture. Josh is wearing a hat, which goes along with urban culture at the moment, and the other model has a large quiff with shaved hair on the sides of his head. This is part of the general fashion right now and is designed to appeal to a wider audiance than my magazine.  Josh is typical of the teenage urban group, with the typical urban fashion and setting. He is typical of the British teenager. The other model shows off a more professional and expensive look. He is wearing a fur coat which is typically associated with the upper class. If you did not know the context of the picture, you would assume he was of an upper class background, contrasting the working class look of my shot.
