2. How does your music magazine represent particular social groups?

The social groups which I have represented in my magazine are that of teenage years as I think that these are the type of groups that would be relating to the target audience. The exact social groups which I think my magazine has been aimed at are the ‘Townies’ and ‘Scene stars’ as I think that these groups are the ones who would be most interested in the theme of drum and bass and that is why I think that my music magazine would represent people who are interested in this genre of music. With the representation I think I have also presented the youth as in teenagers as people who all have bright futures as it shows in my journalistic double page spread. With the props I have worked out that quite a few teenagers play the guitar and loads use headphones like the ones which have been presented, this shows how I am relating the props which I have used back to the target audience and social groups. With the location, camera shots & angles I think that I tried to use some camera shots which would appeal to the social group of ‘Townies’ because I think that they will be able to recognise the pose.

The mode of address in this piece is neutral as I did not want to make it formal otherwise the target audience and social groups may not understand some parts but then I also thought that if it was informal it may not appeal to certain people of the target audience. There are magazines which are aimed at a similar social group and will be shown in the images below but I think that I have still managed to appeal to a large audience.


Dubstep has recently become much more popular than it used to be so this magazine will represent the people that enjoy this music, it will also help represent what dubstep stands for so people who do not listen to this genre of music will know more about it once they have read through the magazine.
