My
original photography was taken with a variety of people on a white screen
dressed up to fit the genre of my magazine. The shots taken of the few people
were a variety of shots from extreme close up to long full body image. I did
this to see which images fitted better to the screen. I decided to use several
models to see who and which photos fitted the screen better. Although the
models were all girls I focused on positioning of the body for example; standing
hands on hips to represent confidence and shots containing instruments to
reflect the genre of the magazine.
What is being represented?
Within my magazine gender is greatly
represented as she is a young female woman, however I do think social groups appears
throughout my magazine.
How is it represented?
Gender is represented stereotypically
throughout my magazine; I have chosen a young attractive female to appear on
the front of my magazine, following typical conventions. On the front cover I
used a close-up shot of the girls face; I edited the photo into black and white
and chose the colours pink and green which follows typical conventions. The
pose on the front cover is quite a serious but sexy, this would appeal to a
female teenage audience however I also think it would appear to an older
audience (20-30) as I think the image and editing makes her look older and
sophisticated. I chose to have the same model on my contents page however a
completely different outfit and style. When looking at the second image, ‘Perri
Amelle’ looks younger and natural. She is avoiding looking at the camera making
her looks like a girl of everyday life; this would allow the audience to relate
to her. On the article I again decided to choose different clothing and a
different pose. Even though Perri looks very confidant she is still in typical
everyday clothes allowing the audience to relate to her.
How is the representation made to seem
‘true’, ‘common sense’ or ‘natural’?
