1. 2.How does your media productrepresent particular social
groups? 2. Target Audience- Females My target are aged between
16-22 years old. The target audience has got limited amount of
income due tostudying at college. They may have a part time job
which gives thema little bit extra money and they dont rely on
their parents to givethem money like most teenagers which puts them
in the socialclassifications as a D or C2. That why they said they
wanted thecollege magazine to be 2.50, which I have priced my
magazinewhich came from the results of my magazine questionnaire. I
have also used things they have asked to be put in my magazine.For
example; I asked my target audience what is the best thing
aboutcollege? I had a mixture of responds for females and males,
forexample they like meeting new people or knowing what is going
onaround college. I applied by writing cover lines that have
thosethings in for my audience. 3. Target Audience The target has
shown they buy magazines weekly or monthlydepending on that
individual. This shows that there income is notgreat so they would
buy magazines weekly or monthly so they canbuy things to enjoy,
like music or clothing. My main image for my front cover is a
representation of my targetaudience by having student model for the
photograph. Thisrepresent what an every day college student looks
likes. Its amedium close-up which is conventional for the front
cover. Mymodel is female and so are my models for other images in
mycontents and cover. I think it helps represent and target my
femaleaudience but not by male since I have no images that have a
malemodel in which is being biased towards one half of my
targetaudience. 4. Target Audience- Male My target are aged between
16-22 years old. The VALS (Value Aspiration Lifestyle) of my
audience includesvarious things from chess to sport. I have
included a cover lineon my front page to represent the VALS that my
target audiencehas, for example my male audience likes to play
sports toconnect with my target audience. My audience like a vary
ofdifferent magazines to read from ESPN Magazine to Empire,
sohaving mixture of different cover lines, helps cover a wide
rangeof topics in the magazine to represent the audience. My
masthead is a representation of my target audience because itrelate
to college which a lot of teenagers go through and also alot of
people get inspired some way or another by college. 5. Target
Audience The target audience has shown they buy magazines
weekly/daily or monthly basis depending on that individual.
Thisshows that there income is not great so they would buymagazines
weekly or monthly so they can buy things to enjoy,like music or
sport equipment. There social classification is C2to E which means
my target audience is either unemployed orhas a low status in their
jobs. There media consumption issimilar because both are likely to
watch the TV show X Factorbut the people who are classed in the
social classification as Eor D will also watch soaps on the
television.
