Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

"In marketing and advertising, a target audience, is a specific group of people within the target market at which the marketing message is aimed at"

Wikipedia

For some companies they don't have to worry about there target audience because its aimed at everyone, My magazine however isn't its targeted at a very specific group of people that's why i need to get it perfect for my audience. Although market research seems like an utter waste of time it lets you narrow in on who your target audience really are and specific things they like so you can get the right kind of advertisements in the magazine. When i did my market research the general people who would buy a magazine of my sort are mostly main streamers with the averaging age of 20-29 and they like to keep up with fashion and look good , they also like going shopping and have designer brands.

When looking for inspirations for my photo shoot i went straight to designer brands websites such as: Jack Wills, Hollister and Polo Ralph Lauren in these photos they are mostly doing almost Godish poses and biblical poses and had a fairly plain and graphical feel to them so i took this on board when doing my photos and for my Double page spread image i used my model to his full potential and make him do a biblical pose i did a medium close up so the camera was focusing more on his upper half doing the pose so his lower half doesn't distract the reader.However i actually went non conventional and went against the rule of thirds and cut his hands of the top of the image i think this gives us a image of him being bigger than he really is and i feel it turned out very well.

Below is a video showing soem of the poses i got my inspirations from for my poses.
