Photo shoot for main task

These we're the first pictures I took of a model for my music magazine. However I didn't decide to use them as I didn't feel they screamed pop at me. They screamed Christmas at me but that shouldn't over shine the fact this model is appealing to a pop audience hense why I decided not to use this model or these pictures. 

I decided to use these photos and this model because they are more authentic for a music magazine as the poses are cute and girly as well as quirky. The models costume is more pop related in terms of colour and general clothing more so than the clothing used in the above photo shoot of where the model is wearing a christmas jumper. These photos were also similar in comparison to real photos used on a music magazine again why i used these over the ones for my first photo shoot.




Evaluation Q4 and Q5

Who would be the audience for your media product?
How did you attract/address your audience?

Question 4:















This would be a typical teenage girl who would read my magazine. She is fun, silly and looking for a good time. She is interested in gossip, boys and fashion just like the typical teenager who reads my magazine. She has a favourite colour of pink. Other media this typical reader would consume would be phones, gossip magazines and more. Further more the typical reader of my magazine would be very much into Facebook and  twitter as they are interested in other people's life's. She would typically spend her time out with her friends, on facebook getting gossip and focusing on her appearance. So basically this typical reader falls into the general stereotypes made of teenage girls they like the color pink, they like boys, there interested in gossip and they take pride in appearance. 

I am basing my stereotype of a teenage girl aged 13-15 on my research into pop magazines, which have the same target audience as me. These pop magazines included contents of gossip and fashion, the colour pink and cute girly models. From this stereotype the media have created through typical pop magazines aimed at teenage girls, i have then decided to perpetuate these stereotypes although they have probably been exaggerated perhaps as not every teenage girl aged 13-15 is the same.
