HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?

My media product represents the following groups, Age and Gender.

Harry-Stephen Weedall

AGEMy target age group for the product is 16-28.

The main feature of my magazine, (Jake Banks) is 17, which is a similar age and within the target market. This is to present the age target, and encourage people of a similar age to buy it, when they see the front cover.

I chose this age group, because many people of this age usually go to festivals and listen to this type of music, therefore would be likely to enjoy reading about it.

GENDERIn my production I said that my product was mainly aimed at males. This was because many

if not all, Indie Rock bands and artists are males, some are girls but the majority are males.

Therefore it seems only right that my target market of social group is male.

Many of the images in the magazine are male to present who I am targeting.

However girls may enjoy reading it too, but it is just expected that males are more likely to buy it.

Conclusion

Overall it is very important that I take these social groups into consideration as it shows what my product is presenting and who it is

aimed at. Therefore by identifying these different groups means it will make it easier to target my product audience and make it

easy for my audience to know that it is aimed at them.
