task 4

1. Task 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?
Name: Emma Richardson
Age – 17
Interests – festivals, indie
music, hanging with her
friends, loves photography.
Emma is the perfect person to
aim my magazine at. She loves
indie music and likes to hear
about the latest trends, and
enjoys going to festivals with
her friends. She also loves
photography which is something
I wanted my magazine to be
very high on. She is a mixture
of an indie scenester and a
trendie.
The age my magazine is aimed at is the age of
16-25, it is aimed at both females and males but
mainly females. I aimed at it individuals who
are into indie pop music and someone who is also
into new and old releases. Also someone who is
interested in the latest music news, events and
gigs and someone who is interesting in music
based events such as festivals. From the
research I did I found out that my magazine
would be aimed at mainly indie scenesters and
trendies. Indie scenesters are the type of
people who love finding and hearing the latest
music and also the types of people who like
doing many things to get there so would be
perfect for festivals and the types of things
that I will be talking about in my magazine.
Trendies are the types of people who love the
latest trends and styles and dress in hipster-
influenced styles which is the style my magazine
is going to be, with the photography. They are
always motivated by current trends so they would
be a good target for my magazine as indie pop is
a good current trend in the sound and style. So
I believe that a mixture of these people and
both of these people is the perfect target for
my magazine and are the type of people that
would be buying it. From the research I made at
the start I would still aim it at this group of
people as I believe that they are still perfect
for the genre that I made my magazine. This is
also the type of music I listen too and as I
said a mixture of these groups of people would
be perfect to aim my magazine at and I believe
that I have some of these qualities which is why
I am so sure about aiming it at these types of
people. Some of the artists I have used in my
magazine are bands such as; Wolf Alice, The
Kooks, Two door cinema club, Haim and more. I
believe that all of these artists go with the
genre of my magazine which is indie, and they
contribute all different factors to my magazine
in the styles that they have around indie. My
target audience would like these artists, and
they are quite new bands and very enjoyable.
We used UK Tribes to find out
what type of people would be best
suited as to aim our magazine at.
I found out that I should aim my
magazine at Trendies and Indie
Scenesters as I believe that a
mixture of these types of people
are who would listen to the genre
of music that my magazine is.
After this research I decided
that my magazine would be aimed
at 16-30 year olds and also
aimed at males and females but
mainly females. I then went on
to decide my magazine would be
aimed at 16-25 year olds as my
other age range was too big and
this is more of a reasonable
range to aim my magazine at.
