Evaluation Question 2: How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?


















As we can see above the comparison of the two pictures who show Keith Richards of the rolling stones passed out after perhaps partying like rockstars are known for. This image conveys a hardcore rock and roll artist, that will be of great entertainment to rock fans. I have used a similar image (also above) of a rockstar passed out in a jacuzzi with a cigarette, a guitar and alcohol, showing yet again the lifestyle of rock artists.

The way both rockstars are showing there top half's of there bodies, they both appear to not care where they have passed out and both seem to be wearing skinny jeans, shows the way i have replicated the hardcore rock style. In my picture i have however included an electric guitar, a pair of glasses, an alcoholic drink and a cigarette which i believe enhances the hardcore rock theme. Although the model in my picture has shorter hair, in modern times, hair style seem's to vary among different artist's thus still representing hardcode rock fans.

Through the image i have used on the front cover, i believe that i have successfully represented the dedicated rock fans, as this is the core and fundamental way rock and roll has to be, hence the commonly used phrased 'Sex, Drugs, Rock n Roll'. Conveying this to the audience entertains this particular social groups of hardcore rock fans, as it's the way they live their lifestyle, thus the social groups do the same.
