1. Q2) How does your Media product represent particular social
groups?
2. Age My media product attracts mostly young people between
16-25 because of its rebellious and wild style. Young people
especially teenager tend to find this as interesting and
attracting. On the other hand elderly might feel irritated or
offended by the nervous and crazy style of my magazine
3. Why my magazine is rebellious? The name flammable already
indicates the rebellious style of my magazine. The red colour I
have chosen emphasises the wild and free minded view of a young
teenager who might wants to become a rock star. The barely visible
tattoo on the models throat says: Be careful what you which. That
shows a typical scary and extraordinary look of a rock star. This
is something new and different and therefore attracts young
people.
4. Stereotypical representation of Rock Rock stars are often
seen as unwashed, dirty, drug addicts, alcoholics and people who
dont know how to plan their daily life. My magazine supports this
view only for photographs but not for the personality of my
magazine model. My magazine clearly shows the stereotypical view on
photographs as dark make up, leather and alcohol is used. However
changes this view with a very personal interview on the double page
spread. I have done this in order to show people that it is wrong
to judge a book by its cover and in this case to judge a Rock star
by his look.
5. My interview Private life of a rock star Interviewer: Good
evening Angel it is a pleasure to meet you. I recently listened to
one of your songs and asked myself if the lyrics and meaning could
cause irritation for children or their parents? However in which
way do you think about it, as you are supposed to be an idol for
the young generation? Angel: Let me be honest with you for a
second. Who is a good idol? Nowadays it is dramatically difficult
to differentiate between a talent and an idol. Talents dont
automatically have to be idols. They are supposed to do something
in which they are extraordinary good at. At the other end of the
scale it is each individuals decision if they listen to my music or
not. If there are parents who feel irritated or offended by my
music, I have clearly to say that I am not the first rock star on
this planet with this type of lyrics. Rock has been here for a long
time (fortunately). Interviewer: This answer pretty much sounds
like you dont care what your fans think about you? I believe that
the opinion of your fans should be very important to you or not?
Angel: Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. I am not
their mother, I am a musician. My fans love me and haters hate, I
strongly believe that this doesnt depend on me at all. They love me
or not. This counts for roughly every musician I know. Interviewer:
This answer sounds slightly selfish, however what does your family
think about your career as an international famous musician? Angel:
Oh I dont see anything selfish about it. If everyone would be a
tiny bit more selfish then people would have less depressions. On
the other hand it is truly rude to assume someone of being selfish
by not even knowing the person. However I dont think that selfish
people would have a foundation for animals like I do. Last year we
collected over 2, 5 million pounds. Thanks to my amazing fans out
there. Interviewer: Wow thats a mesmerizing result. Congratulations
Angel. Why animals? Angel: I have chosen to help animals because
many animals will extinct soon. The reason is human behaviour. If
we dont act now then I see a very bad future for the whole planet.
How do you feel about telling your children about Animals from the
history book rather than going to the zoo? It sounds harsh but it
could be reality sooner than you expect. However animals cannot
plan their future, other than humans, we always have the choice to
bring our life in a good order (many of us). This doesnt count for
animals as most of them depend on us, especially on our behaviour.
And let me say the truth, who the hell kills an animal for a fur
coat? Interviewer: Do you have any pets at home? And how does your
home look like? Im sure this could be interesting for many of your
fans. Angel: I live outside London as the smog and bad air made me
allergic and sick. I got a nice big house with my fianc and a cat
and a dog. We live quite modern and extraordinary as my fianc is an
artist we have quite strange stuff around (ha-ha). One example is a
huge pink flamingo she created herself. She is amazing.
Interviewer: That sounds great. You answered all of my questions.
Thank you very much Angel.
6. Race, Sexuality, Gender, Ethnicity My magazine is mostly
presenting the white, heterosexual, male and middle glass, however
it is available for anyone regardless of gender, sexuality, race or
ethnicity Personally I believe that those factors dont matter and
everyone can choose if they want to read my magazine or not. I
didnt want a controversial magazine, therefore my magazine is open
minded to every social group on this planet.
