My social groups is young pop fanatics. The context is based fundamentally around the artist themselves and their passion for music. There are aspects of a fashion conscious social group due to the front covers coverline, "Whose eye liner game is the strongest?" In addition the coverline still represents the interest of my intended target audience age demographic. Conventionally, the pop genre appeals to young teenage girls ages 11-16 so I have created a product that adheres to conventions.
Facial expression: To adhere to my genre, my models are all pulling different facial expressions. Each individual creates an expression and as you can see, the spice girls have a similar approach. All the Spice girls have created a different persona approach which helps endorse and differentiate their pop group. My target audience are those who want to feel a release from their normal life and indulge into lighthearted entertainment. Moreover, the stereotypes of my age demographic social behavior includes factors such as taking "selfies," in which humorous facial expressions are pulled which has been achieved in my magazine production.
Posture: The posture of my band (Young Parody) and Only the young both have a natural/ carefree posture even though the image is compacted. This means that the posture hasn't be highly constructed which creates a natural/ simplistic look. This creates a lighthearted edge to my magazine which represents my age demographics desire to spend leisure time having a good time. Therefore, My bands posture still keeps the, "Strike a pose," edge with the use of props: hat and guitars. The bass guitar reminds my intended target audience that my band challenges conventions but still produces pop music with understanding of connotations of their posture. The slight tilt makes the image more animated and implies aspects of band characteristics which will appeal to my intended target audience. They would also expect that there are different dynamics to my magazines content which is symbolized in my main image.
Shot type: I have taken a medium long shot in order to get every band member/ model in the compact frame. My shot type creates the same impression of the Only the young main image due to invoking the idea that the group members all have a close relationship.
Aspects of "Mise en scene" (hair, makeup and costume):
Conventionally, pop magazine genre have models who apply simplistic makeup so I made sure my models did. A stereotypical view of my intended target audience (young teenage girls) have a sense of interest in fashion. There are two types of styles my band members are wearing, the casual look and the quirky look. These two different styles don't just show band member individuality but also demonstrates two types of styles that my intended target audience would be interested in. The quirky look is more brand conscious. This will appeal to my intended target audience strive towards designer brand luxuries. My pop magazine fundamentally doesn't look at fashion trends but the style is noted. In addition, Only the young band member Parisa wears a hat which creates a quirky edge so the hat is used as a prop but also a valuable style item. Considering hair styles, my models, the Spice girls and Only the young have simple styling. These styles are easily achieved by my intended target audience.
