Q2 How does your magazine product represent particular social groups?
My magazine is targeted at both males and females of the ages 16-22 and people of these age tend to have certain interests and things they like to do my magazine tries to fit all their interest into one however the one interest they must have is an interest in music and the music that my magazine is aimed at is a pop and Rnb mix with a little section in the magazine every issue about other types of music by doing this my magazine becomes diverse which a lot of my target group like to be.

Photo Gallery
USED THESE IMAGES
why???
Because the images looked good and were in focus I thought these images would be a good representation of my magazine
This is the photograph I used for the front cover of my magazine. In the magazine I changed the dark blue background to black to give it a more solid look.I also reversed the image to face the right direction.
This is the photograph I used for the contents page I also black out the background of this image.
I used this image for my music magazine double page spread i blackout the background so it was completely black
DIDN'T USE THESE
why???
These other shots are shots I took but didn't use for various reasons. One reason could be because it was out of focus or the framing wasn't quite right. Below there are frames where some of the models were not completely in frame that is one of the resons I didn't use it. Some of the images were alike to the ones I did use.
Equipment Used
Canon EOS 400D
When using the camera I had to pay attention to focus and had to make sure the image I was trying to capture was in focus. I also had to make surer the image I took was at the right angle or else it wouldn’t be of much use.

Bowens Radio Trigger
This equipment has many functions and one of the functions it includes is that it is able to trigger flash units in film and digital cameras. This device is able to light up meters of up to 100m.
When using this device I had to be aware of the fact that it was dangerous and if used in the wrong way it could cause a fire which would be harmful. I was warned about this and was supervised whilst using this device. It was more harmful when used with other technology
Bowens Gemini Esprit Gm 500 flash
This equipment helped set the right lighting that was needed for my images.

In order to get the right lighting needed for the models due to their different skin colours and how the light complements the skin. I had to adjust where the models stood and how close or further away they should stand to the light box.
However the general principle I used was that the model closest to the soft box was to be an arm’s length away from the soft box
Circular reflector
The reflector was used to position the light at certain parts of the face.
