For our music video our target audience range from the ages of 16-25 year olds. Matt Corby's 'Fans' range from these ages. When coming to planning the music video to Corby's song 'Monday' we will have to take under consideration about how the video should be to appeal to this range of target audience. The target audience is a big part of the music video as they are the ones who will watch it.
Initial Audience Research:
Colleen is a 17 year old girl who lives in Northamptonshire. Colleen's biggest passion in life is playing guitar. She has been playing guitar from a young age. How colleen started was by teaching herself how to play the guitar from online videos on YouTube and then from their she carried on teacher herself. She loves to surround herself with people who share the same excitement for music, especially those who play the guitar as well. Colleen creates her own music which she is inspired by artists like Lewis Watson, James Vincent, Matt Corby and many more acoustic artists.
Colleen attends gigs and enjoys the atmosphere at them. Being surrounding by people who are experiencing the same inspirational person has influenced colleen to teach younger students at her school how to play guitar, this is because she has had the passionate hobby since a young age and wanted to develop and move on from just a hobby to a way of helping others. At her school colleen helps out in the art as she is a creative person.
What makes colleen such a creative person is that she has synaesthesia. Synaesthesia means the production of a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense or part of the body. Their senses are joined. They could hear a certain timbre or musical note and see a colour, or smell a perfume and hear a sound, or see a word and taste a flavour. In this case, Colleen Hearing and sight are cross wired. She can see Music. This creates a whole new world for Colleen and her music and art. This makes her interested into powerful and crazy patterns, colours and music as colours. This is a video to try and understand how it is for Colleen when listening to music.
