Questionnaire Analysis

This question tells me that my main target audience is female. So when I create my magazine I will keep in mind that the magazine should have stories that will appeal to females.

This question tells me what age my target audience and gives me an idea of what information I should put on the front cover to appeal to young females.

With this question I know what I hold put on my magazine. I want to do a fashion magazine but as my target audience like music magazines I will include some music knowledge for the magazine.

Even though my target audience say that they would pay £1-£2 for the magazine, I want to appeal to the A's and B's of the economic grouping, so I can put high end clothing. This is not normal for a teen magazine to do this.

Textual Analysis Part 1 GQ

GQ

This is a very standard magazine cover, as this a mens magazine and has a male that is relevant to their target audience due to Ryan Gosling who is the same age as their target audience. The stories that are in the magazine are also relevant to the target audience because the people that would read this magazine would like to know about the stories, this will draw the reader in to buying the magazine as they will want to watch know what is going on around that topic. This magazine cover ill also draw women into buying it due to having Ryan Gosling on the front cover as he is looking directly at the audience drawing them in, he is also attractive so will get people buy the magazine because they like him. people may also buy the magazine because of Ryan Gosling is on the front cover and they are fans of Ryan Gosling 

He is in the centre of the shot in the middle of the thirds this also draws the audience in and makes him stand out more due to him being in the middle third of the magazine. This shows that he is very important for the magazine because he will draw in more audience for the magazine and because their audience can relate to him as he is the same age as them, they would also look up to him or be like him as he is an influential male with fashion so if they see what he is wearing they will want to be like him.
We can see that this magazine is made for men because on the front cover we can see a man they they will relate to in some  way. It also talks about rebooting their wardrobe which males are now doing. It also tells you how to build a boat which mainly men to as it is a big hands on job which stereotypically men do. The name of the magazine also shows that it is aimed at men because it is called Gentlemen's Quarterly (GQ). This magazine is well known because they don't have to put their whole name on the front cover so shows that people know this magazine very well was they can know the magazine without the whole name on the magazines front cover.

My Almost Royal Poster

We were set the task to create a poster for a TV program or film to reprint either Gender, Race, Sexuality and Class.
Our group choose to do Class and we did it on Almost royal on E4.

This is our poster (down bellow)

In this task we were told not to put people into the shot so we thought that a robe that the royals will wear as this gives the connation of the royals. We also put a tiara into the centre of the shot because royalty are mainly known fro their extravagant jewellery so we put a tiara in the shot.

Class

This article represents the life of Oscar Pistorius and his trial. We know that oscar Pistorius lives a middle class life stye in South Africa even though heist well known athlete all around the world with his most recent sporting achievement is when he represented South Africa in the olympics even though he is a  paraolymian . His most recent headline is when he was convicted  for man slaughter of his long term girlfriend Riva Stienecamp

Gender

Geordie Shore gives a bad representation of females because of the way that the girls dress on Geordie Shore which has also given the stereotype of young teenage females, as they copy how they dress and people instinctively think that they act like the females act on Geordie Shore. Young teenagers think that this is normal for people to act like this and will act like it when they get older.

Age

 In Hot Fuzz the older generation are portrayed as a violent community against the police. This is shown in the clip where the older generation are fighting the police with shot guns. The teenagers are represented well in this clip, as they help the police with the fight back. Overall the roles are reversed between the young and the old with the police, how the teenagers are helping the police and the older people are fighting against the police.

Race

The Big Bang Theory is show that has a mix of race with a mainly white group of friends but with different religions which show a verity of ethnicy within the group of friends, which allows the audience to relate to the characters in some way.

Sexuality

The characters from the TV series Glue are very comfortable with their sexuality as they are nude quit a lot of the time and they are having sex many time thought the exam. This is represented positively because they are confident with their own body and who they are.
