Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?



The man of the left hand side of the page, Liam Fray from 'Cult' The Courteeners, and on the right, Liam Gallagher, front man of iconic Oasis. Both of these men have a large influence over Renaissance in two, the image of the band, and by the music they create, but Renaissance by no means copy them. One noticeable thing about the appearance of the three men is the scarf, all three of these men are wearing the scarfs under the influence of the Mod culture, this influence in Mod culture could be represented through the music that these men create, showing a similarity in all of these men. This could also pragmatically imply that the men are all inspired by the same people, and they all take influence from the way these the 3 three Liam's style themselves.

Although there are also differences in Fray, Gallagher and Lennon as well, yes you can tell straight away by looking at them that they dress in a similar way, but there are also differences to the way that they dress as well. Liam does not go around in a parka jacket whereas Gallagher and Lennon do, and Fray and Lennon have longer darker hair, whereas Lennon have short blonde hair, this could pragmatically imply Lennon is unique and diverse to others.

Finally I believe the one thing that remains clear, and this that all three musicians have been inspired by culture, and take a high amount of inspiration from culture, whilst still bringing something fresh and new to their image, which could inspire others in the future.
