question 4-evaluation

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

Meet Joel; Joel is going to be my perfect example of my target audience as a whole I am aiming for with ‘GMF Magazine’.

Firstly, the basics; Joel is a male and is aged 17; he lives in a pretty modest house and would be classed as working class. His music taste is quite varied but his main genre would be rock music. His favourite band is Muse but loves to listen to a more alternative style of music with the likes of Bon Iver and Laura Marling. If he had to fit into a social category then he would be classed as ‘Indie’ however, he likes to think of himself more as an individual. This is reflected in his common interests; he has always clung onto different hobbies like, skating, football and going to gigs, but even when he is enjoying these activities he still prefers to be sat at home with his headphones in listening and reading into music. In regards to what other media he consumes; he enjoys watching a lot of comedy on the television and absolutely detests soap operas. He thoroughly enjoys films and he if he doesn’t have his Ipod plugged in his ears then he would definitely have the radio in.

Joel is a very precise example of my target demographic; if I were to be more general I would emphasize Joel’s music taste and his whole passion for music in general.
