- Audience is the most important of all key concepts, media is plural of medium, - acts between two groups, audiences have to engage with media text if it is to be a success.
Niche audience - Carpworld
Mass audience - OK
The different segments of an audience are usually split into the following:-
- age
- gender
- demographics (where they live)
- profiling
- values, attitudes and lifestyles
We then also had to try and think of the worst possible magazine for mothers with young children (crafts etc)...these were dull colours, expensive, unprofessional, wrong model demographic etc...this made us also think what would be good for the magazine.
In other lessons with Mr McDermott we tried to use photoshop as we will need it to customise pictures for our magazines. Our homework was to find a magazine (that differs to our normal tastes) and write a monologue in the place of a normal reader.
Our other lessons we focused on magazines and their front covers...sketching the magazine covers proportionately etc, the we started on a magazine presentation which we will have to finish for homework and present in the next lesson.
I'm actually rather enjoying media studies :)
