Media Studies Recommended Audience

1. Who would be the recommended audience for your media
product?
Question 4

2. After doing thorough research into many differentiating magazines and media
products, such as “Q, INDIE, NME, and Kerrang” i came to the realisation that they all
target roughly the same age group such ranging from 17-25 or just slightly over that,
(30 maximum) and often have many other age groups buying them too if it appeals to
them.I decided to follow them in their ideas, and have made the recommended
audience for my magazine 17-25 as well.

3. I Feel that i have been able to cover all aspects and of the magazine to appeal to my
ideal audience within my music magazine, this is a mood board to show the ideal
reader, it states that all readers are interested in niche bands as well as photography.
Most readers would be listening to music on a regular basis and would be interested in
developing and newer music artists as well as some of the more well known artists.

4. From the dialogue and data I have received back from my questionnaire, I have decided to
continue with my first option of an indie-genre music magazine.

5. The pictures i have used for
my magazine’s contents
page, Double page spread
and Cover, all show and use
people from a younger
background, they are also
dressed the same way the
audience would be inspired
by and would try to dress
like them. The clothing isn’t
a all extraordinary, but they
are different to a certain
degree, this is so it would
show the audience
throughout.

6. Audience feedback
The audience gave back their feedback through a questionnaire that i had designed
previously, it shows that many of the people asked would read a magazine such as
mine, showing events of real life scenarios and the type of music that they would listen
to, therefore i feel that the feedback given was honest, and I used it to feed the
audience's interests.
30% said that they would not read this, but, on the other hand,
70% said that they would read this.
I felt that this was suitable feedback to use for the media product.

7. Improvements & Social group representation
statistics.What features of the media product
mainly represented the social group
throughout?
50% Images.
10% Sell Lines And Font.
40% Featured bands and artists.
Are there any improvements that could
have been made to make a more
efficient media product?
1) I could have featured more images
that represent the social group.
2)Could have used a better image for
the Double Page Spread
3)Could have included a better Q&A
for my Double Page Spread.
4)Included more detail on the Cover
