1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I used the mise-en-scene photograph of a living room because it connotes that anyone chilled back reading the magazine, can act like Indie artists too.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Bauer and IPC Media are two of the biggest media institutions in the U.K. Bauer is the publisher of MOJO and IPC Media are the publishers of NME, a magazine which is similar to my own and a magazine which I have based my own on, respectively. As they are two of the biggest media institutions in the U.K, they undoubtedly have a wide advertisement scheme, so by having one of these institutions publish my production would be a benefit for Independent.
