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

The target audience for my media product will be young teenage girls and primary children. An exact age barrier will be '11-15'. Splitting this age group into two sections (young teenagers and primary children) there are many reasons for this target audience. Teenagers nowadays are social segregated. There are teenagers who are interested in 'pop’ music, metal, hip hop, R n B, Drum and bass, Dubstep and Indie rock. Within these 'music' genres social groups are formed in terms of lifestyle activities, fashion and people’s opinions. The genre of magazine will be aimed at the 'pop' genre, this means that elements such as 'pop' music will have to be conveyed throughout the magazine as well as 'fashion icons'. Young teenagers of this social divide typically range from the age of '11 to 15'. The second section is 'primary children'. Primary children to me are typically from the ages of '11 to 12' as this is the typical age children who attend primary school. The reason for aiming the magazine at primary school children is mainly because of the different social groups, but also because they are just understanding the terms of music but also grasping together other people’s opinions which is included in my media product quite a lot.

The specific audience 11-15 would particularly want to read this magazine because of how much each lure stands out, which is eye catching. The consistant colours will also bring attention as it is bright and vibrant. The magazine have thought of a way to include both genders which I think is a strong point of the magazine, we know Tulisa is gaze theory so which will attract the opposite sex. However on the front page they have used 'Conor Maynard' which also could be represented as gaze theory for the opposite sex. Also both of these could be used as role models that the specific age would look up to which would be why the children of 11-15 would want to read this magazine.

Here will be a video of the target audience saying why she would read the magazine:
