Evaluation: Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Posture/ Gesture/ Expression: The model in my photograph (left) has similar gesture to Jake Bugg in the other photograph, as they are both sat down and playing the guitar. They both aren't looking directly at the camera, instead they both look like they are in deep thought and look serious this may show they both are serious about their music and put a lot of thought into their lyrics, which ties into my article.

Angle: Both photos are at eye level which could suggest the two artists are down to earth and that they are someone the reader could relate to.

Shot type: The shot type is a medium close up, this shows both of the models facial expressions clearer. Also it helps the readers understand what type of artist they are and if it is a genre of music they listen to as the shot lets the readers see the what the artist is wearing.
Lighting/ Colour: The lighting of both photos look like it is natural day light, however both images have been edited and have a black and white effect so it is not clear. This effect could show their emotions and feelings, the effect also makes the photo more simplistic which shows that he doesnt care about the "flashy" side of fame, its simply about the music.

Costume/ Hair/ Mise-en-scene: The costumes are quite similar as they are both in casual wear, which could show they don't care about what they wear or fame it is all about the music. However the artist on the left is wearing sunglasses which could suggest to the reader that he is hiding something, this could make him more interesting therefore the readers may want to find out more. The whiskey bottle in the photo to the left could show that the artist has been through a lot to get where he is today and may have faced many problems. The aritst to the left also has facial hair which makes him appear "scruffy" which suggests he has been through alot. In both photos include a guitar which implies what genre and artist they are. The two artists are of similar age and the same gender to the target audience, also this social group is usually assioated with the same genre of music of the artists.
