How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The position of my model on my cover is similar to the NME Edition featuring Florence Welsh. The hand positioning and body angle is very symetrical to one another as well as the positioning of the legs and feet. The dress style and hair between both models are very similar also, such as the amount of reveales flesh, hair style, ankle boots and body jewellry on the exposed hands.Both models show how a consuming environment resorts to the models having to adapt, such as the taxi for Florence and the circular chair for my model. Both images consist of high key lighting but the mis-en-scene of NME is dark whereas WW Indie cleary presents the day light. Both outfit colours of the models in the foreground compliment the outer background. There is a medium long-shot of both images encouraging the audience to observe the mis-en- scene of the image and the use of plain expression with a serious undertone lure the reader in further to discover the meaning hidden behind lack of expression. There is a slight diference in posture, Florence is more slouched and relaxed as if here next motion would be to leave the taxi whereas my model is more upright structured depicting false positioning. I constructed my image to provide space for Coverlines yet reveal the power of positioning of my model. A clear difference is the eye contact of the models, Florence directly faces the audience consuming the audience attention whereas my model looks out into the near distance but the power of her lipstick contrasting with the vibrant shoes draws attention. To justify the use of eye contact not directly consuming the audiences attention being used, I have presented two Rolling Stone editions in which show that this can be successful if the image is crisp , clear, creative and powerful.
