How does your media product represent particular social groups?

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My product represents the slightly niche genre of rock music fans. They can be any age, ethnicity or nationality. They are represented as people who can often go against the norms of society. My magazine uses a lot of black as that is a color often associated with the genre of rock and its fans. They are people who often don’t find themselves fitting in with what is normal. They look to other communities, other societies to fit in. Rock fans are a subculture. I represent them as being the “normal ones” in a world that is different. This is slightly juxtaposed as the reason many people become fans of Rock music is because of the opposite.

Pre-Production

Location, Props and Costumes

I have decided that my images will be taken in a studio. This is because I will have access to a green screen which will allow me to gain the backgrounds I am looking for easily. Using a studio will also provide easier access to any equipment I need. I can then also immediately transfer them to a computer from the studio so they will be ready for me wherever I choose to edit. I did not use any specific costumes or props in the shoot.
