EVALUATION QUESTION 3

WHAT KIND OF MEDIA MIGHT DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY?

Most magazines are sold by newsagents and supermarkets such as Asda and Tesco. Magazines can be sold in many ways though. They could be sold at a shop or bought in a subscription. If someone really liked my magazine they could buy a year’s subscription which would make the magazine be delivered to their house every time a new issue comes out for the year. The magazine could be used in a sponsor for a music film such as x factor, this would help enhance the name. The magazine could also be bought of it’s website or other websites. The magazine itself could have a YouTube channel which posts content which connects to target audiences on their internet which would then interest them to buy the magazine. Music magazines such as smash hits have a television channel which plays music all day and my magazine could have a channel like that which would play music all day but also gain fans with this and then they would start buying the magazine. The magazine would be seen on many places such as a shop, TV channel, YouTube channel, internet website and more.

EVALUATION QUESTION 4

WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT?

My target audience is mass as the genre is pop and that stands for ‘popular’ music so there will be a massive audience. Majority of that audience will probably be teenage girls from around about the age of ten to eighteen. The audience isn't really targeted at a specific ethnicity as any ethnicity would be interested in it but I would probably say Caucasian girls would be most interested in the magazine as there are many Caucasian stars but also because the magazine itself is westernised which makes it more for Caucasians however in the modern day you could say its for any ethnicity. There are many other music genres for other races for example reggae and Caribbean people, Bhangra and Indian people so the pop magazine could be aimed at Caucasians more than other ethnicities. Other people could be interested in the magazine as their celebrity crush is on the cover. These people would be my main audience.

EVALUATION QUESTION 5

HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOUR AUDIENCE?

My magazine connected with the audience quite well as the candy red and light blue masthead goes well with the genre and the attractive young male on the cover will be fancied by the audience. Doing this was a deliberate attempt to connect with the audience as it is specifically what they are after. My strap lines mentioned celebrity gossip and a free signed album which will be well received by teenage girls as they will be especially interested in that. My sticker and cover lines talked of exclusive interviews, top albums/songs and new releases which is everything a teenage girl wants to know. One of my cover lines said there was a free poster of the cover star inside which would attract the audience as they would buy the magazine and put the poster on their wall. My double page spread has a picture of the star which the audience will love but a section where the magazine has an article about the star which is the magazine asking the star a series of questions and covering their career which the audience would be very fond of. This connects with the audience as they want to know everything about their idol.
