Profiling your target audience You need to understand the demographic or audience
profile for your music video/documentary/trailer. Who might “consume” your product:
age sex income level education tastes in film genres tastes in music class considering technological convergence, the platform they would
most likely watch your film where in the media, including WEB 2.0, they might find out about
your film. This would include social networking sites, like Face Book, etc

Primary and Secondary ResearchPrimary Research Distribute a questionnaire to a specific target audience. Use a variety of open and closed questions. Use a focus group to discuss ideas and give feedback at
different stages. Analyze your findings to identify what should be included
in your final products
Secondary Research Analyze a variety of related media texts. Use a variety of sources i.e. websites, journals, media
products. Cite research sources accurately i.e. name and date of
websites accessed, name and publication year date of journals used.

The Best Candidates:(From Examiner’s report)
“Had a broad range of research and identified target audiences early on in the project.
Planning of the final product and ancillary tasks was also best when a broad range of appropriate planning methods had been used such as call sheets, story boards, scripts, animatics, shot lists etc. Other vital planning elements included risk assessments; letters requesting permission for the use of music tracks; ‘contact sheets’ of images and subsequent drafts showing the development of the use of some of those images into print-based work.
Blogs, when updated regularly and creatively used, tended to gain the higher levels.
All sorts of methods for evidencing were employed, links to YouTube, Flickr, Vimeo, embedded PPT movies, or using other web 2.0 like Issuu, Prezzi and Slideshare to show PowerPoints. Most of the artefacts were also embedded in the Candidates’ blogs.”
