Audience Profile For Moorside
When creating Moorside, I pictured a particular target
audience in mind that would be attracted to my soap because its set in the
countryside and people who live within the countryside are either quite wealthy
or just getting by as it can be a expensive lifestyle, so people who are living
between the living classes E - B will watch this soap.
In terms of age, I predict my target audience will be
adolescence plus because the main story lines within this soap will be
unpredictable involving Sex, Criminal Activity and Moodiness and this is what
Youth's tend to do; following the Stanley Hall (1904) theory. Although it could
be argued the age of my target audience may be a variety of ages because of the
large cast acting because within soaps on television there are characters aged
between as young as children to elderly, representing a member of the British
audience and therefore attracting them to watch. On a whole there may not be a
particular age for my target audience to be suitable to watch this soap.
The target gender I would like to attract to watch Moorside
would preferably like to be woman because stereotypically its females who would
spread the soap by word of mouth about how interesting or exciting the
storylines/plot may be in the soap, encouraging more and more people to watch
the soap for their own purposes; falling under the Blumer and Katz theory.
The soap may not be
suitable for anyone who not British because after analysing successful and
popular soaps such as EastEnders and Coronation Street, they tend to provide
some British pride in terms of the characters actions as well as props within
the background. So people who are proud to be and love the British lifestyle
will be attracted to Moorside falling under the Medhurst theory; 'They are
awful because their not like us.'
