Who are the Audience of Pop Music

Who Are the Audience of Pop Music

This task was useful as I was able to research my target audience and see what inspires them and how they keep up to date with there artists, whether it is through social networking sites or magazines. Also how they listen to pop music and where they like to listen to it. The pop genre is not targeted at all audiences as many male audiences are not interested in this genre but of rock instead. 

Analysis of Band/Artist Magazine Adverts

Analysis of Band/Artist Magazine Adverts 
I have chosen magazine adverts from artists which are in the pop genre, as this gave me ideas of how I will have my magazine advert. I have noticed that most magazine adverts do not use many words, they are more focused on the main image which will attract the audience to see the advert and then read the small print. 

Research into Possible Equipment Choices

Research into possible equipment choices 
By completing this task I have thought about my music video and what I will be using to shoot it, I have chosen this equipment as the outcome is always of a high quality which will make my music video as professional as possible. I have also chosen the programmes I will use to edit my music video, and each software will focus on different parts of the music video. For example the photos for my digipack will be edited using Adobe Photoshop and my music video on Adobe Premier Pro. 

Andrew Goodwin's Theory

By completing this task has allowed me to understand Goodwin's theory and will allow me to apply it to my music video in the future. 

Influences of Pop Music

Influences of Pop Music

By completing this task, allows me to have more knowledge on my target audience as I will be able to make sure I include the right things in my music video. For example fashion, I will stick to the influences of my target audience as some people look up to there artists and idolise them. Technology is a huge influence in the music industry as most artists have social networking sites in which they communicate to there target audience. Many artists also have a clothes range in shops such as River Island, for example Rihanna has a clothes range and many of her target audience wears her fashion as they want to be just like her. 

Analysis of Pop Videos

By analysing existing music videos, allows me to see what is expected in a typical music video.

Feedback from audience on my idea

Filipa: I am really looking forward to be part of Juliana's music video. I feel confident with the ideas she has come up with and I am also looking forward to be doing a dance performance throughout. I love making up dance routines to current and old music therefore I'll enjoy being part of her music video. I really like the idea she has and the way she wants to shoot the video, with different camera angles to emphasise the lyrics especially using the close ups which are also found in the original music video. I have also been looking at music videos to gain more ideas for the performance which will work with the song Juliana has chosen. This will also allow me to be prepared for the actual video as I will have some routines to do which will be good in the video. Finally I also like the idea of basing the music video performance based and at the beginning and at the end having a narrative. However I think she needs to include a boy in the narrative as this will enable the audience to relate to the lyrics more. 

I have got feedback from my artist, which was positive with good feedback as she also contributed with some ideas on what she thinks will also make the music video successful. By getting feedback allows me to make sure my music video is as successful as possible.
