Question 4:Who would be the audience for your media product?

The main image gives a negative effect to the audience as he is covering his face wearing gloves and holding a sprain can, which gives the audience a immediate assumption of quite a explicit content and genre.

Also he wears quite dark, stereotypical chavy clothing which stick to the housestyle of blue and black which connote and represents the dark background of the genre. But also the blue could show that he is aiming for riches and keeping cool.

You can see from the small images that the artists are all male, which makes the audience stereotypically male as women are seen as more lighter audience and wouldn’t like all the volience and negative representations of the genre and artists. The artists below have all got there hoods up to give a negative representation which young men and teenagers would appeal to as they like the sense of danger and could maybe relate to there life.

The audience would be more lower class as they are thought to be dangerous and have no job or one which is not good money. They are also known to be around the age group of 16-20, and live in inner citys. As most grime music videos are in the streets around big citys.

They are thought to not have the most expensive clothing but wear fake designer makes and stereotypically buy black clothing, pouches and hats.

The age group is shown effectively in my contents page due to the use of dark colours and images, as the colours are mostly dark blue and black with abit of white, which connotes danger again, and looks quite mysterious. Also the images have a dark effect and have low key lighting to give a gloomy effect. The artists look around the age of teenagers to older men and this is the audience targeted. The age group are like social media and are quite advanced with the technology so they would get information about artists and grime of social media websites such as facebook and youtube.

As you can see from the articles they seem quite stereotypically male as they are all about predominantly male things, such as grime battles, hell and back, and hearing about a man returning after 1 year of jail, where as girls are seen as more interesting in fashion and more lighter genres such as pop. Also by the images there are not any images including girls and relating to colour girls are seen to be connoted with colours such as pink, red and purple which have opposite connotations to grime. As male are seen as more violent and mischievous people.

The social class is from lower to middles class, as these people as you can see from the images, and from grime videos they like to hang round on streets, which shows that they do not have jobs or a decent job, or have a car or anything better to do. They are people who stereotypically wear tracksuits and snapbacks who maybe work part time on minimum wage download music illegally as they cannot afford to buy them.

This is a stereotypically grime audience, as you can see they are wearing big puffer jackets and wearing beanies and snapbacks, as this is seen as cool and fashion for the genre, they also wear jewellery such as watches, earrings and

The age of the group is quite older teenagers to young men, as the look around 19-20, but looks younger by how they are dressing as grime is saw as a teenager’s genre.

When making my magazine I made sure that my artists where young to represent this.

In my magazine I tried hard to represent my artists as middle class grime audience so the audience had role models to look up to rather and want to be like, rather than looking poor.I tried to also use more light clothing to make the genre not seem as depressing and violent and more of a rap like genre

The genre is doomy and quite dark, but I didn’t want to give a negative impact to the audience so I looked at more grime artists who I more middle class and wore more designer and richer clothing, the age of these people were about 20+ as you can see they have matured from being a more dark and mischievous, with a smarter dress sence.
