Question 4: Who would be your audience for your media product?
My target audience for my magazine is females aged between 15-25. The reason I have chosen this age and gender is because there is not currently a magazine that is targeted at this age and gender in the music magazine industry. When looking at stereotypes and focussing on what sort of elements females aged 1525 would like, I did a questionnaire in my subject research to see what they would be attracted to and why they were attracted to chart music.
Chart Music Connotations:
Stylish Happy Calm Gossip Fun Fashion Concerts Festivals Emotional Creative Singing Beauty Typical target audience ^ The celebrities that they would be
Stereotypical Audience Profile:
The stereotypical audience for my magazine Hit is 15-25 year olds in the C2DE social class. The typical average female that would be targeted for my magazine would be interested in fashion and so would be stylish. They would have many hobbies such as concerts, festivals such as T4 on the Beach and V Festival. They would be interested in celebrity gossip such as celebrities love lives, diets ect.
interested would be musicians such as Adele, Rihanna, Beyonce (all artists in the charts). From using this photograph of a group of average girls, you can tell that they would be the ideal target audience of my chart magazine. This is because they look happy, interested in fashion and celebrity gossip all of
which were connotations of my chart music magazine, Hit.
