Q4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

Question 4:

 My audience research is targeted at young 14-21 aged students. This is because Britain to day and our society has shown various ways of the genre of music. There are lots of different music cultures in different areas of Britain but however the most common culture shown across Britain would be hip-hop/rock. This genre is shown to be the most dominating and it is spread out worldwide.

I have decided to target a younger audience because my models through out the magazine are young and will appeal to the younger audience as they will be interested in the models dress sense. It will give them ideas on what genre of music they like and what genre of music or clothes they need or have. My magazine shows the latest bands and genre's out it discusses the current stage of celebrities out. My magazine will also appeal to some older audiences who love to gossip and need an idea on the new trends that come out. It would give my older audiences more information about when the next singers will perform and it represents there genre of music.

In the term of ethnicity the rock/hip-hop is generally associated with white people and mixed race people. However, I shall be targeting people of all races male and female because I will include a bit on each ethnicity. I will be doing this so I can gain more readers and so my readers can relate to their ethnicity. My magazine target audience have a good passion for this theme and they shall go beyond the idea of listening to their music. My audience will download the songs and will be on their mp3 players, iPods, and computers. My audiences will be focussing on live bands and so my audience will be entertained when they are on the go.

My audience would be from the same or similar culture to my magazine models. I have shown multiculturalism through the different coloured models I have used. I have also challenged religion to subvert in to the music culture. In our society today there is multiculturalism in any part of the UK. In Bradford the majority people one would find would be Bengali’s. In Birmingham the majority of people would be Pakistani people.  This therefore shows that I have chosen my media audience for my magazine to be all ethnicities so where ever my magazine gets distributes me will still gain readers which can relate and enjoy rhythm. My audience is form a wide variety because it is a magazine for everyone who loves music and it is a benefit because it does not exclude and faiths or cultures.
