from your audience feedback?

Our Target AudienceOur Target AudienceDemographic Profiling

GRASS

- Female audiences

- All races will be able to watch/enjoy our music video

- the ages of our target audience ranges from 13-19 year olds (teens)

- socio-economic

-status - subsidence, e.g. students.

Our chosen age for our target audience are 13-19 year olds. This is because we feel that they will be of

more interest to our artist and media products.Young people are a good target audience as they have more free time to watch music videos and listen and buy tracks. They also have the money to buy media products as

students and young people are expected to still be living at home, being founding by their parents,

therefore giving them ‘limited access’. Psychographic ProfilingYoung and Rubicam's theory:

1. Mainstreamers - 40% of the market, this is the largest section of the market. This group seek security in conformity and thus tend to buy well-known brand names,

2. Aspirers - These people are motivated by status. They buy smart, high tech and high fashion goods.

3. Succeeders - These people have already climbed the ladder and want to keep control of what they have. Car adverts that emphasise power and control are aimed at this group.

4. Reformers - This group want the world to be a better place. Educated people such as teachers and doctors who apparently are more likely to buy eco-friendly health products. 

E.g.  Pixie Lott would attract mainstreamers -  as she is a young, well-known pop artist, who aims her fun and girly lifestyle at her target audience (young females).

Our Target AudienceOur Target AudienceBased on our questionnaire which we created and distributed to

10 teenagers, we discovered that a large proportion of them preferred pop music to anything else. This inspired us to make pop

music our genre and young people our target audience.

As shown on this questionnaire, 18 year olds enjoy spending their time watching

music videos online, even if they are unfamiliar or not keen on an artist. Pop

music was shown to be the most popular, and performance based music videos are

more enjoyable for the consumer.The artist who is usually and most

commonly the protagonist is the one that gains the most attention and the one who attracts their target audience to watch and

buy their products.

Secondary Target Secondary Target AudienceAudienceThe secondary audience is also an important aspect to consider when creating an artist and it’s

brand image. When researching this, we discovered that Pixie Lott attracts many female fans, over the age of 20. Her music is usually played on radio stations like, Radio 1, Rock FM, and Radio 2. This is because of the popularity of the pop genre, which appeals to a wide spread of audiences, ranging from young

teens to adults.

Our Target AudienceOur Target AudienceIt is a known fact that many young adults and teenagers are the main age group who use the internet to discover new artists, to download music, and to share music tastes on social networks like facebook and

twitter. This is why most modern artists use twitter and facebook to interact with their fans and to promote themselves and their media products.

Here is a snapshot from twitter. We

posted this so people (mainly teenagers) are prompted to watch the

video.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Needs

Maslow’s theory shows that in order for humans to be psychologically happy, they need the basics but the necessities of food, water, breathing etc. And in order to move higher up in the triangle, each level

should be completely fulfilled. The highest level in the triangle is ‘self-actualization’, this includes, morality, creativity and lack of prejudice.

I strongly believe that our video fulfills some of these needs. The need of self-actualization is mainly fulfilled here as our video has a lack of prejudice, it involves a lot of creativity and morality is also fulfilled.

I also strongly believe that a sense of friendship is fulfilled in our video. The

artist’s confident, and genuine personality definitely plays a big part in

the music video, as it reaches out to the target audiences. Audiences can feel comfortable listening to the song

and watching the video, which is important as it makes it easier for the consumer and the artist to develop a

relationship.

Blumler, McQuail and Blumler, McQuail and Brown’s TheoryBrown’s TheoryBlumler, McQuail and Brown came up with the Theory of Use and

Gratification. This is an approach to understanding why people actively seek out specific media outlets and content for gratification purposes. The theory discusses how users proactively search for media that will not only meet a

given need but enhance knowledge, social interactions and diversion.

Basic Diversion - provides a sense of escapism for the audience (away from reality).

Almost like a dream, for example in our video it’s all colourful, bright, happy and perfect. People will relate to this, and feel the need to admire

our artist. Personal Identity - The

audience often relate things from their own lives in

comparison to the lives of the artist/band. In our video, our artist if shown to be slightly alternate, young and full of energy which is how young

people want to feel. They may also compare or share their

style and look.

Personal Relationships - When watching music videos, you

instantly feel connected with that artist. Whether it’s due to their

personal life, their personality, or simply the way they portray themselves on-screen. We

created this effect by frequently using close-up shots in our video

making the facial expressions used by our protagonist more

noticeable, this way, the audience is able to feel at ease and enjoy

what they see.

Surveillance - This captures information about the lives of the audience/artist, for example, if the music video consists of the artist drinking and partying, it suggests that the artist and audience both

enjoy taking part in similar activities. In our video it’s much more simple than this. Our artist seems more

sensible and feminine, yet likes to dance and sing. This suggests that our target audiences are girly and enjoy the same sort of activities.

Audience FeedbackAudience FeedbackHere are two examples of the questionnaires which we created and

distributed to our target audience. This was to research how well we have done, and what we could have improved on.

Page 9: Q3 Evalutation

Audience FeedbackAudience FeedbackWe were relatively pleased with the feedback which we got, and we take into consideration all

critical feedback in order to improve our knowledge of what our target audience enjoy. It is also a benefit for any future productions.

What was most talked about was the split screen editing which made our artist look like she had a double standing beside her. The lighting and colour was another positive aspect about the video, and

many of our audience thought the boy/girl theme worked.

http://youtu.be/uzfVDgOwk9c Many of them

commented on the lip-

syncing. They said it

could be more precise

and our artist could have

been a little more

enthusiastic.

They also stated that the video had no meaning. Questions on why there was a boy theme and a girl theme were being

asked. However, there is no straight forward

answer to this question as the video doesn’t

have a narrative, therefore it doesn’t have

a specific meaning.

Audience FeedbackAudience FeedbackAfter watching our finished product, I felt that we could have done somethings

differently. However, I am more than pleased with the music video, and I feel it reaches a high standard.

Improvements that could be made are with the studio location, the backgrounds and possibly the lip-syncing of our artist. Although the backgrounds have been well created,

we could have been more adventurous by adding more of a variety. Another thing which I would do differently, is that I would plan more in advanced and be more

organised so we could have a variety of location shots, rather than sticking to the green screen. We have realised that the timing and editing of the video so it matches the song is very challenging, and we did it to the best we could. I think we done well, but with a

little more time, it could have been better.
