Evaluating your own work with audiences

 Without an audience there isn’t much point in producing a

 text, so we can start  by saying that the audience is crucial. If

 the text appeals to the audience then it is a successful text.


Choose one of your productions (main or ancillary, AS or A2) and explain how you selected and targeted a specific audience.

 

You could consider:


·
How you chose a target audience in relation to the genre and form you selected.
·
Whether you targeted an existing audience which already enjoys specific existing products like yours.


· How you made creative choices to appeal to this target audience.

· How you think your target audience will use your text (consider uses and gratifications here)

· How your media text could be marketed to the target audience (e.g. making use of social networking and other interactive technology)

-Under Stuart Hall’s theory of ‘Preferred Readings’ what type of ‘reading’ might this target audience give to your text?
