Resource summary

Target Audience
  1. Age
    1. As pop music is aimed at the younger generation, our primary audience would be aimed at males and females from the ages of 11-25, even though this is a large age gap it is necessary considering pop music applies to a vast range of people.
      1. Our secondary audience would consist of those outside the age gap (younger or older), either male or female and this would occur when those people listen to different types of media platforms such as radio stations. This occurs in many different circumstances, however these types of people would not particularly like pop music and that genre be their favourite, they may just like certain songs.
      2. Gender
        1. Girls primarily would be the ones who would listen to pop music videos and upon watching pop music videos it is evident to see that these are aimed generally more to girls, this is due to the fact more females tend to relate to pop music song lyrics meaning that they can find an attachment to a song as it may determined a females mood more so than a males. Girls also look up to female pop singers as they get inspiration from the way they look and other factors which make up their personalities.
          1. Our secondary audience would be males as they are not generally as interested in pop music videos as females are meaning they are less likely to watch them. However, the Male Gaze Theory is more apparent in pop music videos as these videos are more up to date and want to be popular therefore resulting in some of the music videos sexualising women (for example) as sex sells. This could attract more male viewers even though the number will still be lower than female viewers.
          2. Occupation (Social Grouping)
            1. Generally, teenagers will be at school/ college/ sixth form due to the age of our target audience meaning that this age of people may have a Saturday job to give them extra money to go to places such as bands/ artists concerts if they are a fan of music; however they may not even have a job. Depending on their parents occupation would determine their class and status.
            2. Other Media Interests
              1. Primary audiences will use apps such as Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, watch new and up to date films. Other music and artists they will like are people such as Rihanna, Drake, Dua Lipa, Arianna Grande, Little Mix and many more.
                1. Secondary and older audiences will not use the same amount of apps as the younger generation therefore they use apps such as Facebook as this is a more open platform of media. These people may not watch as many up to date films and favouritise old films.
