EVALUATION ACTIVITY 2


How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My media product represents a particular social group, the social group that it represents is a typical girl from ages 16-19 that likes to make her self look good, with either curly or straight usually dyed hair and make up on. They like to dress in nice clothes that will get them recognised and like all the latest fashion and music.

I am comparing my model to Blenders model Taylor Swift. Just like Taylor swift my model is in a medium length shot, staring directly at the camera, I feel this draws the audience in and makes them feel like the model is staring at them rather then the camera. Just like Blenders model my model has long curly hair this makes them look particularly girl like and is appropriate for my genre of music with it being "pop".


The outfits are extremely different with my model being in a dress and Taylor Swift being in leggings and a top but in one way they are both the same, they both look like they are dressed for a night out. Both models appeal to both men and women with the outfits they are wearing, men because of their sex appeal and women because of the way the way they look an are aspired to be like.



The posture of both my model and Taylor Swift are very similar, although my model has both arms up and Taylor Swift has one arm up, they both look extremely confident and happy in themselves. A fierce posture like this shows the girls to be to be confident and brazen.
Also the lighting of my model would be made a lot brighter and put on a white back ground just like Taylor Swift has been done for Blender magazin, I feel this makes the model more of the main attraction rather then having a back ground around her which could distract potential buyers.


Here are a few models that have featured in magazines such as blender which was the magazine i was following. I believe my picture of my model fits in well with them.
