Evaluation question 4

1. EVALUATION QUESTION 4
Who would be the audience for your media product?

2.  My audience for my media product are teenagers between
the ages of 16-18. My audience is represented through the
kind of language I used. I used formal language throughout
but there are some elements of colloquialism in my contents
page and double page spread.
 I was able to decide on my audience and what to include in
my product through my R&B magazine survey.This is the
research method I used.

3.  The location I took my pictures in for my contents page and
double page spread in particular, differed to my front cover and
to where professional magazine photo shoots normally take
place.
 For my cover, I took the photo in a professional setting but the
other shots for my contents page and double page spread, I did
it outside against a brick wall to symbolize an edgy and street
feel to my magazine since teenage audience are generally quite
edgy in character and are stereotypically associated more with
the street. I chose to do this because it will help my target
audience relate to the individuals in the magazine.

4.  The clothing I used for my mise-en-scene on my models best
represented my R&B theme. It also connects to the street
theme for my artists featured on the double page spread.
For my cover, I used a more sophisticated mise-en-scene for
teenagers that are quite chic.
 My magazine targets the market demographic because the
masthead I used links to my genre and I included the main
attributes of an R&B magazine for example and interview of
an upcoming artist and a popular artist which is the focus of
my DPS.

5. My ideal readership profile
 Aged between 16-21
 Male or female
 Black and other ethnic minorities
 Enjoys listening to music especially R&B
 Listens to R&B stations such Capital Xtra,
Kiss, Kiss FM
