Evaluation Q4 (Who would be the audience for your media product?)

Who would be the audience for your media product?




I made this slidely to show who I would be aiming my product at, it shows the things that people of the age range of 17-23 would do for fun ect. This slidely shows I was aiming to attract people from mostly middle class background. I have used Amy Winehouse for the music to represent that it will be aimed at people who like a modern jazz. I have also used a picture of smart phones to show I will be representing the tribe wired segment of the LifeMatrix, this is because I want my magazine to be more for the younger adult and to be more modern .It also shows the activities they will be taking part in such as exams which shows I am targeting  the age range of being in education such as college or university .  I will target this part of the market because upon reflection on my research I found there wasn't many jazz magazines that existed for type of individual .I did this to shown how my magazine will represent 17-23 year olds because there are not many magazines out there for this age range. I also used Amy Winehouse to show my magazine will be modern but will still have the classic jazz feel to it.

Under the slidely I wrote a paragraph  to describe who I wanted my media product to attract :
''Creating this video has helped me visualise who my target audience will be and what they do eg hobbies . This research will help me make my magazine appeal to my target audience more and will help me create and include some of these in my magazine.Using Blumler and Katz has helped me realise why my target audience  may buy my magazine and how to appeal and meet their needs more.
In conclusion, I have chosen my main target audience to be aspires and Tribe Wired.People who would buy the magazine for personal identity and entertainment.''

This shows I aimed for aspires which associates with the images used on the slidely such as the students . It also shows I am aiming for people who use media as a diversion from everyday problems and routine such as school or education which makes my jazz magazine different o any that are on the market today  .I am also targeting cities or large town because they are more likely to have a university which would help me aim for the target audience 17-23.  I also aimed for fun/ atics because the slidely also featured festivals and fun activities .

In conclusion
I have aimed for young people who use media as a diversion from everyday challengers. My media product is aimed at digital and free spirited individuals who are fun seeking and enjoy taking part in many activities.This is because I found a gap in the market for a jazz magazine which would appeal to this section of people.Upon reflection of my magazine I have attracted tribe wired individuals like I had planned to do, I did this on pages such as my front cover and contents page where I used social media icons . My pages also represent aspires I have done this on my contents page where I have included Jazz fashion , where the readers can dress like the stars do ect. I do believe I have attracted readers who would be education, I feel I have done this on all my pages. My front cover and contents shows the competition for a free meal which many at university couldn't afford.I have also kept this target audience by my double page spread article , the people who ask some of the questions are in education and ask some questions about what school life was like.My magazine pages appeal to both female and a male audience , I have mostly achieved this on my contents page which uses images and features of both genders. This also links to how I have maintained the target age I wanted my magazine to be for I have done this by the use of images and features I have used. Most my features and digital links would appeal to this audience such as the gig review many people of this age group go to them. I also attracted this age group by having people of around the same age featured in my magazine, my front cover image does this.I have also appealed to teens who use snapchat on  my front cover and contents by including the social media icon. I also feel I have represented friendship groups which was shown in my slidely . This is because of the competition which is for 2 people and the upcoming gigs page which many would go to in friendship groups, but I do feel that I could have made more content which would have involved them more.However, upon reflecting on my final pages I have not appealed to young parents , this is because I don't have any features which would attract them or appeal. If I had the chance to remake my magazine I would defiantly target this audience more when making my magazine since it has risen to 82% in the UK. I believe my target audience has stayed the same as what I had intended to do (shown in the slidey above) however, I have missed some of that group.
