1. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine targets 2 different similar groups of people….
• Jazz/ classical music. Within the characters wear, for example the casual wear seen in the front page and the jewellery as well as the feminine attire and hairstyle which is very sophisticated and neat and the class exposed through the posture… this changed within the article to something for relaxing to attract the other audience/ relate to them and to show young adults feeling of connection. The character within the bottom of the page is very serious and this relates to the adult themes. Though the background of the pages can seem quite boring there are bright colours that explode out and will be a big wow to the young audience.
• And the RnB through the contents page where the character is quite hip and is actually close to the audience even though in a jazz/ classical music set and this is only seen in concerts when the singers associate with the audience with physical interaction as seen and also the very fun effect all around the magazine from the invisible ribbon which is almost like a halo around the stars and the bubble transition. The characters on the front page at both sides of the main text are very colour full and within the contents page are in very exotic locations/ bright sets. The website of the magazine can be see and it is evident that young teems lurk around the internet much more than an older audience so this is a big booster. In the contents page the background is red and red is usually an alerting colour which young teens are attracted to. this may be a steryotype but young teens do not love to read as much as a megority and so within the article the interesting areas/ qotes are highlighted in a blue tint.

TEXT IF YOU CANT READ IT.
1. In what way’s does your media product use, develop or challenge form’s and convention’s of real media product’s?
Box-out – A small part of the page shaded in a different colour.
Caption – typed text under photographs explaining the image.

Crosshead – this is a subheading that appears in the body of the text and is centred above the column of text. If it is se to one side then it is called a side-head.

Exclusive – this means that newspaper and no one else solely cover the story. The paper will pay their interviewees, buying the story so it cannot be used by another paper.

Feature – not necessarily a ‘news’ item (current affairs), but usually with a human-interest angle presented as a spread.

Headline – this is the main statement, usually in the largest and boldest font, describing the main story. A banner headline spans the full width of the page.
Kicker – this is a story designed to stand out from the rest of the page by the use of a different font (typeface) and layout.

Lead Story – the main story on the front page, usually a splash.
Lure – a word or phrase directing the reader to look inside the paper at a particular story or feature.

Masthead – the masthead is the title block or logo identifying the newspaper at the top of the front-page. Sometimes an emblem or a motto is also placed within the masthead. The masthead is often set into a block of black or red print or boxed with a border; the ‘Red-tops’ (The Sun, The Mirror, The News of the World) are categorised by style and the use of a red background in the masthead.

Menu – the list of contents inside the paper.

Pugs – these are at the top left and right-hand corners of the paper and are known as the ‘ears’ of the page. The prices of the paper, the logo or a promotion are positioned there. They are well placed to catch the reader’s eye.
Secondary Lead – this is usually only a picture and headline, it gives a sneak preview of a story that you might find inside the paper.
Splash – the splash is the main story on the front of the paper. The largest headline will accompany this, along with a photograph.
Spread – a story that covers more than one page.

Stand first – this is an introductory paragraph before the start of the feature. Sometimes it may be in bold.

Strapline – this is an introductory headline below the headline.

Tag – a word or phrase used to engage a reader’s interest in a story by categorising it e.g. ‘Exclusive’, ‘Sensational’.
