Intended audience

The POP genre

The pop genre is a mainstream genre that many people listen to, it originally came from the word 'popular'           and was then shortened to 'pop' showing that even back before it was changed to pop it was known as a             popular genre. It is usually classed as the what people would play as 'popular'. This genre hits many ages           however the largest age group it is played and listened by is 16-21. There is different pop songs for both           genders within this genre, however acts like 'Little Mix' and 'One Direction' are aimed more for the female             genre. Whereas pop artistes such as Ariana Grande are aimed more at the male audience and act as the male gaze as she appeals to the male eye.

I would say the social demographic class for the pop genre and our video as well is working teenage class.         Meaning that they are are of a teenage age and they are more than likely to be in full time education rather than working. This genre is played regularly on the radio so therefore would reach the target age range well. This stye of music is often played on radio stations such as KISS or Capital FM. 

This age range is a range that likes to be entertained so through uses and gratification theory hopefully my         video will fit in this age range and entertain this target audience as that is what they expect from a music     video. 

music video should be entertaining and interesting as well as appealing to the target audience of the music     genre. Figuring out who your audience is, is one of the most important aspects of marketing your music video.

You have to make a judgement on what age, what gender and what type of person would most prefer this         type of music video.

Our intended audience

Our intended audience for this video would be of for a female and male gender. The music video would be aimed at teenagers or young adults, so people aged between 16 and 21. This is because our chosen song is electro-pop which is mainly viewed by young audiences due to the dancing aspect. Another thing that would make our intended audience young adults and teenagers is the choice of costume and choice of person starring. A target audience is usually drawn in if they can relate to the music video. So we have made so that the performer in the music video is of a similar state to the target audience. Another thing that suggests our intended audience is the lyrics of the song, the lyrics are intended to be aimed at younger audience as it is about young love and wanting to run away with a lover. Something in which a teenager or young adult would want to do.

Performance –  Sia doesn't like to star in her own videos, she has Maddie Ziegler a young girl who dancers throughout for her as a dancer. The performance is of Maddie dancing all around an abandoned, neglected location which is dirty and unpleasant. Lyrics -   The words "swinging from a chandelier" is usually know as a metaphor for partying to excess.

Equipment/Lighting decisions in our music video

Lighting is very important in music videos, as it allows it to be easier to see and also as it sets certain moods and atmospheres. An example of this would be, if we used low amount of lighting then it'll be setting a dull and sad atmosphere which would help highlight the meaning behind the song is not a positive atmosphere. Also the other way round as well, as if a large amount of colour is used then it'll set a more upbeat atmosphere and show that they're more likely to be given a positive media video to see.  Jessie J clip Here is a clip of Jessie J where she has dull lighting which represents the atmosphere as dull and an unhappy situation. The song is of a sad subject, it is negative song lyrics, this is helped by the lighting as its all dull however she is shown with a little more light over her so that she is highlighted as the main  This music video gives an impression of a dull meaning behind it just by the setting...
