EVALUATION: Question 2 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Above I have made a GIF to show how my music magazine represents a particular social group.
Expression - 
Both of the models on the front cover of the magazine are smiling, showing a friendly attitude from the magazines. Even though, on my magazine my model isn't looking directly at the camera as the audience you would still feel intrigued and you would know that they are on the same level.

Hair and Make-up - 
Both of the models are wearing make-up on the front cover which is stereotypical as most teenagers wear make up from young teenage years and for many more years after that. Furthermore, both of the models are wearing their hair down, this shows that both the models take care of their appearance which is something nowadays that teenage girls care a lot about.

Posture - 
Both of the models have strong postures with each of them having their right (but left to us as the audience) arm raised but also at the same time they look relaxed. I think that the model on the real life magazine is looking confident, whereas my model has her head down which could show off a 'timid' feeling. This relates to my target audience because teenage girls tend to pretend to be shy or they are also not very confident. 

Shot Type - 
The shots on the front covers are both mid-shots. I think that this shot was the best type of shot to use as the audience will feel more involved. I think it is a good idea to have a mid-shot because most teenage girls enjoy taking pictures and I think it also stands out more.

In conclusion, both of the models look friendly and confident but the model on my magazine looks more timid. They both take very good care of their appearance including hair and make-up which represents my aimed social group as they take good care and time on their appearance.
