How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Both images look similar, as both of the have a group of people standing next to each other while leaning forward and looking straight at the camera. The people in the images are dressed casually and have a fairly aggressive look to them.

The images were taken with the camera looking straight at the people media a medium close up, one image was taken inside in front of a white sheet and the other was taken outside in front of some wreckage

The lighting is different in the pictures as one was taken outside with the sun overhead and the other was taking inside with artificial light.

Both pictures don’t support the stereotype of a punk band as there is no over the top hair styles of clothing, both groups of people look normal. And isn’t much evidence of pro-communistic life styles or products, as everything on the images is basic and normal looking.

The social group the magazine appeals to is punks. The magazine challenges the idea that punks just wear alternative / unusual kinds of cloths, as the people in the photos are wearing just jeans and t-shirts which are normal main stream clothing. Although the magazine reinforces a stereotyped of the way punks act, as in the photo the people look aggressive and in your face, and it shows them acting how ever they want while the photo was being taken.
