my target audience
The document discusses potential target audiences for a funk music magazine. It notes that the main audience would be over 30s who remember funk from the 1970s. The target audience would likely be seen as wild and outgoing, as funk music encourages releasing emotions. However, the document wants to avoid indirectly stereotyping the audience. It suggests including a variety of potential funk fans, as funk was originally aimed at the Black population. The main image is intended to appeal to fans by following funk conventions rather than ordinary magazines. It should create a connection between the audience and image by having the main person look directly at the camera to make viewers feel "special".

The character's costume of dirty, torn dark clothing and body language of sadness and depression further suggests he has been homeless for a long time and fits into the social group of homeless people.

Photos analysis
The author found Courtney Love's photoshoot in Elle magazine inspirational because Love looked like a goddess of rock music. This is what the author wanted to portray in their own magazine aimed at women. The author analyzed an image they were considering and felt it successfully represented the rock genre through the model's direct gaze, ripped tights, heavy boots, and choker necklace. While some body is shown, the model is not sexually objectified. The image portrays the dangerous atmosphere of a rock music magazine alongside female nature.

Additionally, plain backgrounds and use of a chair prop make the photos seem normal and relatable to average teenagers who listen to this genre of music.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Target audience analysis task
- 1. Soap Opera Genre – Target Audience Name: Shaune Hazlehurst Candidate Number: 3065 Center Name: St. Andrew’s Catholic School Center Number: 64135 OCR Media Studies – A2 Level Unit G324: Advanced Portfolio
- 2. Hartley’s 7 Subjectivities In accordance with Hartley’s 7 Subjectivities, the target age of the demographic who watch Soap Opera’s would be 16+, of both genders and all ethnicities. This is due to the fact that in the most popular Soap Opera’s there is no preferable gender or ethnicity in the characters as they all come from different backgrounds, primarily working class backgrounds. Also the most relevant character story arc’s are of characters who are believed to be 16 years of age or older. Furthermore Soap Opera’s tend to to have an older audience of 16+ as they address issues which may not be suitable or relevant to a younger audience. Socio-Economic Needs With respect to the socio-economic needs, the target demographic who watch Soap Operas would be from the socio- economic groups; C1, C2 D and E. These groups denote people from the middle class and lower down to unemployed. People of these lower classes are stereotypically visualised to not be that financially stable and so they consume the Soap Opera in attempt to ‘personally Identify’ (Katz) with the media text. This is represented in most Soap Opera’s as the highest status characters are those that own small firms and offices, down to the lowest status characters that go to school. Through this link people from these socio-economic groups will be attracted to watching Soap Opera’s. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs After considering trailer’s for different Soap Opera’s I can see how the audience will primarily represent themselves as ‘Caregivers’ (Maslow). This is due to the fact that characters within the Soap Opera’s will go through many trials and tribulations, this will allow the audience to feel sympathy towards these characters and find themselves already having experienced those situations in real life. The portrayal of characters within Soap Opera’s are very realistic to a certain degree which engages the audience and makes situations relatable to the audiences lives. Some members of the audience may feel best represented as a ‘Survivor’ as Soaps are a long form drama, which the audience can get emotionally attached to the plot and the characters within them allowing the media text to become a part of their media consumption routine. The plots however change and other plots naturally begin to take the spotlight over others which keeps the audience guessing over what will happen in the next episode, keeping them emotionally invested in the Soap.
- 3. Psychographics The consumers of this text would most likely to be in some form of education, in the world of work or retired as an elderly citizen. Through watching the program, they may feel pressured to live up to the standard’s of the character’s lives within the Soap. For example violence within the Soap may conjure violent emotions within some emotionally unstable members of the audience towards other people. Alternatively it may cause the audience to have a positive outlook on life when a character has had a streak of luck or are in a good place emotionally. Due to the nature of some event’s in the series the Soaps are scheduled late in the evening so younger audiences are not influenced to do bad things. The consumer of this text would most likely be a struggler, this is due to most of the characters within Katz’ Uses & Gratifications Theory: The audience may look at a Soap Opera as a ‘Diversion’ as a way to relax and enjoy themselves at home. However some members of the audience who relate to the lives of the characters may not be able to find a diversion as it is not an escape from everyday life. Those who cannot relate will be more likely to see it as a diversion as the Soap is less relatable to them so it has no relation to their daily lives. The audience may also ‘personally identify’ with some characters as some characters are in the same situations as the audience who are watching the Soap and so they will relate to their feelings and issues that some characters go through.
