These are some pictures, of which I have taken in Mr.Jarretts room, using his professional camera. I took the photos her to ensure that I could present pictures of the upmost quality, conforming to the sophistication and professionalism of the classical music genre. The professional lighting I used, allowed me to take my images in High Key Lighting, which in turn again conforms to the typical classical music genre. The High key lighting also emphasises Laura Mulvey’s male gaze theory, as it emphasises the feminine body parts of ‘Rebekah’ . The images also conform to the typical conventions of a classical genre of music, because the glamourous costume code indicates sophistication to the audience which in turn will be associated with the classical music lifestyle. The prop I used was a violin, again conforming to the classical music genre, as it’s a classical instrument, which only people who are classical trained would have the ability to use and therefore, it also attracts my particular target audience, of whom will be of a musical ability to understand musical language and the skill in playing a classical music instrument, such as the violin. The body language of which Rebekah demonstrates, takes a postmodern approach to gender equality, as she is standing in a powerful position, a lot of the time standing with her head point high and with her posture well structured. This is assisted by her, firm hold of the violin, of which is a gentle, delicate instrument, and therefore we sense that she has power over the violin and is in turn a women of whom has authority and power, therefore we are subverting from the typical stereotype of women being submissive and naïve, and so my female target population will be more inclined to buy the magazine because they aspire to be like her. In addition we can infer that Rebekah has intellectual intelligence, because of her obvious ability to read music and play the violin, demonstrated by her holding the violin, and therefore again, my magazine will appeal to students of whom have reached a stage of intelligence and also a female audience who aspire to be a successful women shown by Rebekah. Therefore I can say that my magazine takes a postmodern twist on the stereotype of classical music, as I am placing women in power rather than men, however that does not mean that men would not be attracted to my magazine, because of the traditional feminine costume code Rebekah wears, we could suggest that she is demonstrating Laura Mulvey’s Male Gaze, which the high key lighting emphasising her feminine body parts, and therefore we could infer that a male audience will also be inclined and attracted to buy my magazine.
