Evaluation Question 5 - How did you attract/address your audience?

This question requires you to refer to the forms and conventions that you used in order to appeal to your target audience (you'll need to refer back to your initial primary audience research).

You MUST include some audience feedback on your finished products.

This question will require some substantial work outside of lessons.

To complete this question you must move through 3 parts:

1. Insert your products into your blog and annotate them in line with professional magzines which have a similar target audience - what have you done that's similar in order to have audience appeal (colours, poses, costume, fonts). Then point out what stylistic decisions you made in light of your initial primary audience research (did you challenge any of the professional texts in order to make your product appeal to its intended audience?)

2. Highlight how you made changes to your rough cut in light of audience feedback (include images of your rough cuts and compare to your final products, clearly signalling where the changes took place and why).

3.Conduct some final audience feedback with your target audience. The bulleted questions below would make a useful start.

• What draws your attention to the product?
• What genre is it and how do you know?
• What do you consider are the strengths of the product?
• What social groups does it represent and how?
• Would you purchase the product and why?
• How would you improve the product?

Below is an example of an animation that you could create to show your findings:
