Evaluation: Question 2

QUESTION 2:


How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Here is a Photoshop splitscreen of an image from my magazine and from Vibe magazine.

• A similarity of both images is that they both have hand poses. 
• A difference with the hand poses is that in my magazine the model has her hand up to her face and in Vibe magazine the model has it on her head.
• My magazine includes the scenic background whereas in Vibe there is just a colour background.
• Costume is similar as both are wearing black and they both have long necklaces on.
• A similarity is that they both have their legs slightly on show.
• The model in Vibe magazine is wearing a hat which is a difference to my magazine.
• In Vibe magazine the model is baring more flesh whereas my magazine does not do this.
• Both models have blonde hair which is a similarity. 
• My magazine has used a medium close up whereas in Vibe the picture is more of a medium/long shot as it shows slightly more than what a medium close up would. 
• They are both tight framing which is a similarity.
• In my magazine, the models facial expression is happy and in Vibe the model has a bit more attitude which is a difference. However they both will relate to the story. 
• Both have similar dark make-up.
• The lighting for both is quite high key which is similar, however, my photo was taken outside giving it some natural light which is a contrast to the other photo.
• The angles for both magazines are similar. 
• A difference to do with hair is that my model's hair is long and Vibe's model's hair is short.
• My model is wearing blue as well as black due to the jeans which is different to the other magazine. 
• A contrast with them is that my model is sat down and Vibe's model is stood up. 
• Both have similar style colour lips when it comes to make-up.

Research and Planning: Changed Pictures

This picture has been added as an extra picture on my double page spread. It was orginally the main one for my double page spread until I changed the picture resulting in me not using this one at all. However, I have now added this one but not as the main picture as it has been slightly covered up and it smaller on the page than the other picture.



This picture was a picture that I was originally using as one on my contents page. I had to double check this picture though as it does not seem suitable for an R&B magazine due to what my model is wearing and her style in general, therefore I haven't used this picture now at all on my magazine.




This picture was on of the very first test shot pictures that I took and I used it on my contents page, however it didn't seem to fit in well with my R&B theme and the location also didn't seem suitable enough. So now I haven't used this picture at all in my magazine.



As I had removed two of my pictures from my contents page, it then remained with one picture that seemed suitable. Therefore I needed another photo on it as one didn't seem enough and it needed more detail to it so I took another picture using the same model that I used in one of the pictures that I took away. This one seemed more appropriate for an R&B magazine.
