(I'm sorry if the answers below are not in order. Blogger was not working how its supposed to)

TASK 5

 

Task 5 - Review your results and copy and paste any graphs or charts given by survey monkey.  Then you need to write up your findings in paragraph form including how you intend to use the information collated in your questionnaire.
You can use the questions below to help you write your analysis:

• What did you find useful about the information collated? 
• How are you going to use the information collated to establish/define a target audience for your product? 
• What does your audience expect to see in the product you're going to create?
• How are you going to use the information collated to come up with designs and house-styles for your product?

    From my questionnaire I have noticed that the people that took this survey are between the ages of 11 and 15 and the photography that most people are interested in is really spread, most of them preferring close ups and mid shots. Also there is more males than females that took the survey. Also a lot of people enjoy listening to either rap or rock music and quite enjoy sports as one of their hobbies next to cooking. Furthermore, the people that took the survey are mostly white that prefer playing sports games such as fifa or 2k and enjoy warm tones on their magazine front cover.

   Using this information I can decide on what kind of music people would prefer listening to while doing sports or cooking or playing games that is preferably rock or rap.

   I think that people are expecting a magazine that recommends people what kind of rock or rap music they should listen to while doing their hobbies. Also the theme of the magazine should be based on warm tones such as red, orange or yellow.

Task 6 - DEFINE YOUR AUDIENCE
The last piece of writing you need to do should be an explanation of who your target audience actually is now... Please define your audience by gender, age, socio-economic class, likes and dislikes.


   My target are teenagers with the ages between 11 and 18 years old that can be any race or gender that prefer doing sports or playing game while listening to music. Also those people are fans of rock or rap music and prefer more warm tones or vibrant colours.

My Audience

My Audience

• Name 5 ways in which audiences can be categorised.

Ways which audiences can be categorised are: age, race, gender, interest, religion.

• Why do you think it's important for media producers to categories audiences?

   I think that media producers categorise audiences to make sure that they release content that will appeal to every person. This is important because by doing this, the media producers will produce a lot of money that will help them with further projects.

• What is the target audience as described in your chosen brief? 

   In my brief i will try to make my product appeal to teenagers of any race with the ages between 14 and 18 years old.

• Give a short explanation as to your understanding of the target audience given in your chosen brief.

   I think that a magazine based on Electronica music will be enjoyable to the teenagers that like listening to mechanic sounds. I feel like other teenagers that want to become DJs would find this magazine enjoyable.

I am going t try to create the first brief which is a front cover for a magazine and a double spread page article that is targeting teenagers with the ages between 14 and 18 years old.
