Q4: Who would be the audience for your media product? AND Q5:How did you attract/address your audience?

My target audience, as mentioned in the previous questions is the younger generations of the age range 12-35. This is because this age range favours the R&B genre most, therefore creating a magazine with the same genre is appealing for them. I addressed my audience, by having the artist of a similar age group as them, who they could aspire to and understand better about things such as their style and personality. I addressed my audience by having an affordable price of £1 for my magazine, this price is affordable because majority of young people don’t have lots of money, therefore this is appropriate for them. Also I used colloquial language that is used by young people to address them, for example “hot girl spits fire”. In addition I included win free tickets to drakes boy meets world tour, which is appealing to R&B lovers because he is one of the most popular artists at the moment, therefore it is important to include the most popular artist as more people will be interested in this.

Main task-magazine finished

music magazine front cover design and sketches

From this magazine i will be taking inspiration from Ciara's body language, my artist will sit in this form for the cover  of my magazine. I have chosen this because this because the artist will have an interview of where they talk about there journey and ideas for an article within my magazine, therefore when people are interviewed they sit down to do so.

I am taking inspiration for my magazine by using the same text/design for my masthead because it is also has three letters, and is kept to the left of the page which doesn't distract people from the image of the artist. Also i will be including a white background for my magazine because it is modern, which relates to the artists new start in the music industry.






My artist for the front cover is going to have a jacket on which is falling down her arm, this is to connote that she is revealing herself to the public by telling her journey as an artist in the upcoming article as a new artist. Also she will have gold hoop earrings, as gold hoop earrings are made to look promiscuous, which is what a lot of R&B women artists are portrayed to appear as.

Main Task - production - Photo shoot ideas

This collection of photographs show that I'm experimenting with lighting, framing and overall composition.  Also, i'm learning how to deal with the model so that I can get the best result.

Main Task - Production - Questionnaire analysis

Questionnaire results

·     20 people in total completed my questionnaire, 10 girls and 10 boys. All of the ages between 16-21yrs.

·     15 people read magazine monthly, the other 5 read them once-three times a year.

·     17 people would pay £1-£2, and the other three would pay 50p for a magazine.

·     20 people’s favourite genre was R&B.

·     17 people read magazines once a week, the other three read them once a month.

·     18 people knew all of the artists, and two others knew every artist apart from 1.

·     16 people downloaded music, the other 3 streamed it and one listened to it on the radio.

·     20 people listened to music everyday.

·     18 listened to music on their phone, one listened through their car and the other listened through their TV.

·     20 people would rather attend wireless festival than other festivals.

·     20 people said they think of black artists when they think of R&B.

Now I am going to produce a magazine that takes into consideration these results, I decided to only ask 16-21 year olds because according to radio 1’s playlist these are the only ones who vote for the UK top 40. With regards to the price of my magazine, I researched that music magazines are normally priced above the price range that I included within my questionnaire. However, my choice for pricing down is to make it more accessible to my target audience. Out of the people who participated, said that they tend to download music so I will include a ITunes voucher within the magazine, to attract this audience further. Also in my questionnaire I included a list of R&B artists so that people could identify which ones they knew by ticking the people who they did, majority of people who took part, knew the artists, therefore I assume that they roughly know stuff about them, however this has inspired me to include new artists that they wouldn’t know about, therefore they are more intrigued to read about them to get to know them, more as if they would if it was an artist they already know of. Also to support this idea everyone who participated, agreed that they listen to music everyday therefore they are more likely to want to get to know new artists as this gives them an opportunity to branch out to new artists, instead of repetitively listening to the same selection. 18 people, out of the 20 said they listen to music through there phone, therefore I will include a competition in my magazine to win an iPhone. Also I will include in my contents page the wireless festival lineup, because this is something the audience are interested in as all 20 people stated that this was their most preferred festival. Lastly for my R&B artist I am creating to feature on my magazine, will be a black person, as this is what my target audience recognizes to be an R&B artist.
