Considering the audience profiling...

Having done the activity of audience profiling, we have decided that our target audeince is going to 16-40. We know that this a broad audience but we feel that 30 was quite young and 40 year old's will be more likely to have experienced having a child running away. We also feel that the genre of our song will appeal to a more older audience as when they grew up they would of mostly experienced listening to this genre of music.

"The Third Wave Collective Identity"

Yesterday in class, we found out that we are no longer a media class but we are now "The third wave identity" And in German "Die Dritte welle" There is also a German film based on the third wave. It is interesting asking questions about what makes us unique? What does actually bring us together?
This also links back to representations
Social class, Gender, Age, Ethnicity, Religion, Disability.
It has made me think how do people see me, what do they think of me? How am i represented in people's eyes. It's all so interesting thinking of these type of questions. All these things can make me be unique to everyone.
For our music video I now think of how our viewers will read into our music video and how they can relate to the representations we include in our music video which will make our audience connect more with our music video.

Website of "Midnight Hour"

Pictures Forrrr Website

These are some print screen shots that i have done of the band "Midnight hour"' 's MySpace page. I like the look of the webpage because they have a big picture of the band and the threee colour scheme draws the audience's attention. The colour scheme is bright and this could reflect the band's personality. They also talk about the band by introducing all the people that are in the band which makes it more personal and helps create that connection with the audience. They also have the music of the band and all their different songs which helps the audience to know their other tracks and listen to the ones they already know. Using a large font also attracts your attention. They don't have many words on there page which makes it quite simple and straight to the point. The words they do have help the audience to navigate around the page such as "Contact" or "Video updates". I think they have chosen not to have many words on their page so the audience can be more interested in their music. However they have wrote a bit about the band "We are lovers and liars,

We are sinners and saints." The words are quite informal and this creates a relaxed atmosphere and makes it more personal for the audience as they have being themseleves and the audience can get to know their true personalities.

Target audience changed...

We have decided to change our target audience as we think 16-50 is too broad and we have know tightened our audience. We have know decided to change our target audience to 16-30 as we feel this is a smaller audience type to aim our music video at. We feel that our music is popular for the target audience that we have chosen. Our target audience will also be people that like the genre of "rock" in our age range which will be a lot of people as "rock" is mostly popular amongst the younger generation. We also feel that it is a varied age range as the music we are doing the video for may appeal to a very wide audience. however the main type of our audience would probably be in the social class of C1 downwards as i feel that these people would probably be more likely to listen to this genre of music more than the higher social classes. I also feel that at this point in time as we would just be starting out as producers and distributors of the music we would probably not appeal to the aspires and main streamers however we feel that if our music did 'Take Off' then eventually we would be able to get more expensive locations, Actors E.T.C. to appeal to the aspires
