Evaluation: Question Five

How did you attract/address your audience?


One way that I address my audience is though social networking sites such as Facebook as from this i could upload images, texts and final outcome and get instant feedback from my target audience. This was good as it was really easy and also it kepted my friends and target audience wanting more as i slowly released the final outcome.
I also addressed and attracted my audience with my front cover:

Evaluation: Question Four

Who would be the audience for your media product?

 The target audience for my magazine ‘AMP’ would be both male and female, as my magazine is not biases to one specific genre, they will between the ages of 13/14 to early 20’s because this is the age when people start going become more interested in music and start to prefer one specific genre, so when they come to buy a magazine they will know if this one is for them and their personal taste in music. Their taste in music will be mainly in the genre of alternative, indie and indie rock, such bands as mystery jets, The Maccabees and the Futureheads. They would mainly watch comedy, action, horror and sci-fi films and enjoy watch channels such as comedy central and BBC Three. They would dress smart casual, normally wearing shirts or tees from shops such as Topman, burtons or designer names such as FCUK, Ben Sherman and Ted Baker, they would wear smart leather shoes or bight coloured plimsolls and have a individual look. They would spend their time at local and big gigs, going to house parties and playing sports such as football and rugby. They would also go to college or university and spend time studying and part time working to afford the gigs and parties they attend. If old enough they would go to the pub and clubs at weekends with friends. They would enjoy listening to music and listen to it whenever they can.   

Evaluation: Question Three

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Before we started this project I created a case study on IPC, a consumer magazine and digital publisher in the United Kingdom, selling over 350 million copies each year. The case study is in a previous post on this blog. IPC Media would be my best institution to distribute my magazine as my magazine AMP is a similar magazine to NME which is one of IPC Medias magazine. It is one of their most popular magazines that they distribute and if they can distribute my magazine as well as they have NME my magazine would do very well. Although they already have a magazine like this NME is not specific to alternative music and feedback about the magazine NME from alternative music fans say that NME isn't a magazine that they would buy as it deals with more mainstream music so I think there is a small gap in IPC Medias portfolio for my magazine. I think that my magazine would offer that a way to attract a different audience group as if someone doesn’t like NME they could buy my magazine and this would increase their sales of music magazines and widen their portfolio in terms of music genres, which could go on to distributing more genres of music magazines and could see them becoming the major distributor of music magazines in England.
