MOJO 2019 Cover

 TASK:  Copy this MOJO 2019 cover into a new blog post entitled  MOJO: REPRESENTATION. Then write 4 points, one each about about the following.

How the producers have chosen to construct a version of reality that represents events, social groups and ideas to fit their purposes:

• MOJO wishes to attract a target audience that shares its reverence for ‘classic rock’ so constructs a version of reality that represents musicians as authentic heroes, striving for excellence

The messages and values conveyed and issues addressed:

• MOJO’s front cover associates musicians with quest, danger and struggle, celebrating the values associated with rock music of ‘living fast and dying young’
  

Neil Young is represented as a restless and a rule breaker. His front cover pose makes him look intimidating and how the light is shining brightly on his face it highlights his noticeable features, for example: the scrunching of his eyebrows to make him seem angry, and his pursed lips. 

How and why (e.g. to enable quick interpretation) stereotypes have been used, including anti-stereotyping / counter-stereotyping:

• MOJO’s selection of a cover photograph of a white male may be to fit the stereotype of rock musicians – this will enable instant recognition by audiences
  

• MOJO’s anti-stereotypical positive representation of older people as popular musicians. This may reflect the anti-ageism of an older audience

Which social groups are under-represented or misrepresented:

• MOJO’s front cover represents predominantly white male musicians in photographs, under- representing female musicians and musicians of colour

 What's the difference between Diegetic and Non-Diegetic sound?

Diegetic sound is when the sound is coming from the film, for example: dialogue, sound effects, and surrounding noises. So when you are filming you are able to hear what's around you.

On the other hand Non-Diegetic sound is when the sound is added in through editing.
