they would all have the money to buy this magazine as well as the time and
interest to buy it.
You can tell which
audience this magazine is aimed at because of several aspects of the front
cover. The colour scheme of this magazine issue is gold, a colour of success
and achievement but also luxury and quality. This would attract
the audience of the A, B and C category as they will be better off with their
money than those of the lower categories. The text on the front cover is
simple, giving an elegant look to the front cover with the black and white font
colour on the cover lines and red font colour for the man cover line all
standing out on the golden background, the contrasting colours show the age of
the audience, being mature and older. The main image is of Amanda Seyfried, an
American actress known for her role in Mama Mia and Les Misérables, both which
will appeal to the target audience. One of the cover lines reads, “how to cut
your cancer risk” which would relate to women of this age as they would be worried
about getting cancer at this age.

are published- this being about style, news, music and other subjects that
would interest males of this age group. The magazine would fit the A, B and C
categories of the socio economic model as like Vogue, the audience would have
the money to buy this magazine monthly as well as the time and interest to read
it.
The audience of this magazine
can be found from a variety of features of the front cover. The colour scheme
of this colour is a mix of blue, black, white and grey, which is commonly
associated with males due to the colour blue. This colour scheme is used in
both the masthead and cover lines. Many of the cover lines gives clues to who
the audience of this magazine is, from “have you ever been man-pregnant?” to
“Bruce Willis gives us a master class in badass”. These all indicate which
gender this magazine is aimed towards. Bruce Willis is famous for his role in
the Die Hard movies; representing a strong action hero- this would attract
males more than females so him being on the cover attracts more males who like
the Die Hard movies.
Harry Potter
Harry Potter and The Order of
the Phoenix is the fifth film in the Harry Potter series. The film is aimed
towards both males and females aged between 11 and 18 years old who can relate
to Harry’s and his friends ages in the movie, either of past or new
experiences. As this is primarily aimed towards young adults, the film would
fit into the C, D and E categories of the socio economic model.
This film poster shows who the
target audience through a variety of aspects. The poster shows six of the
characters on either side of the poster, with Harry standing in the centre-
this shows the ages of the main characters in the film, relating to the target
audience. The tagline reads “the rebellion begins” which relates to the
audience as they would be going through the rebellious time in their lives as
they grow from children to adults.
This
film is part of the family, fantasy and adventure genres. This is due to the
fact that Harry and his friends often take part in different adventures in
order to save somebody or something, as well as being surrounded by various
fantasy creatures such as hippogriffs.
Hotel Transylvania
The target audience
for this film is both girls and boys aged between 4 and 15 years due to the
animated and comedic aspects of the film. As the film is aimed towards young
audiences, it would not fit into the socio economic model.
The film poster is
very minimalistic, however it does give you an idea as to who the audience is.
The name of the film is the first thing you see as you look at the poster- the
name is shown as a sort of hotel sign, relating to the story of the film. The
main image on the poster is of some of the main characters- as these are
animated, they look to be aimed at children.
