Who
would be the audience for your media product?
With my R’N’B magazine it has
quite a big age range for my target audience, it is targeted for males and
females and of all colours and tends to be for teenagers to young adults
however people in their late adulthood may also listen to this. Older adults
may want to buy this as R’N’B originated from soul which has been out for many
years.
Some males may buy the magazine
to read about their favourite celebrity to inspire to be like them and get an
insight of what the article is on. Which could be music or their personal life
were they can relate, or a celebrity crush were they want to read about in see
into their love life. In the magazine so that it appealed strongly to male
audiences, my research showed that in magazines and also music videos that
women are very provocative and this is what attract males more, so I decided to
put an good-looking female for men to be enticed by also by adding the jewels
adds a sign of wealth which most R’N’B artist show off. I also tried to show of
the glamour by the colour scheme I used which is like a diamond colour again showing
a sign of wealth.
This can also attract females
they can relate to females by making the article reality they talk about love
or being heartbroken which will appeal to the females more as they are
stereotypically more sensitive. Also most R’N’B artist are known for their
fashion senses and by having a female on the front and also a double page
spread it will engage them in buying and reading about them as celebrities
start of trends so their audience can copy and be like them.

How does
your media product
represent
particular social groups?
My magazine is an R’N’B magazine with upcoming new
artists. It does not have a particular social group nor does it just appeal to
males but also females, it is for both sexes. However it may relate to people
who are struggling such as working or lower class, who want to succeed in life
and determine to do their best.
Also in my features column it is more about past
lives and were they are now. The reason being for this is that so my audience
can relate to them with their past experiences and learning how they do as well
as the artists can. Most of my artists have not come from a privileged
background such as Eminem who grew up in the street life but is now a
well-known artist.
R’N’B is about inspiring people to do the best
they can, it’s about real life so that the audience can relate. They also
attract females and groups the articles show that they were a part of the
audience before but they have changed. I took the ideas for my features from
VIBE magazine which I changed into my words this is where I got the idea from.
Though is about music, it is also about real life
this means the drama that also happens such as their love life’s to spice up
the magazine we talk about relationships so people do relate and have full
insight in the celebrities life which makes it more personal. Also by having
contest shows the celebrities are willing to play a part in their fans lives
and the audience can relate to them more.
In my magazine I tried linking the genre R’N’B to
the images also, by having a girl group in their natural setting, makes it more
real for the audience and brings it onto a personal level. Also with having
features such as exclusives and behind the scenes this also allows the
celebrity and audience to relate personally bringing them closer. And it shows
that effort is put in for the audience making them feel more special.
