Audience Research (Focused).

This is a script for the video of my focus group. These were the questions I was planning to ask and how I was going to set out the video.



Analysis: This is a YouTube video of an interview with two teenagers as my focus group. In this, we discussed different magazine covers as well as a contents page and double page spread. I have gained more in-depth knowledge about my target audience's preferences and views about conventions on magazines in order to attract them to my own music magazine. By going through not only front covers but looking at a contents page and double page spread, I was able to understand what can be unappealing to my target audience as well as what features and image styles, layouts and such attract them. I found that Rolling Stones was the magazine most preferred between the two students and also matched the indie-pop genre the most as the others looked 'busy' or 'crowded'. A seemingly air-brushed picture with a fierce look attracts the audience more than a relaxed photograph. These few points and the overall interview has shaped my opinion in deciding different conventions and becoming to think about how the layout of my magazine may look along with the props or body language and facial expression of my artist. I will take on board these opinions so the final product will reach the interests of my target audience
