who would be the audience for your media product?

Target audience 
Hannah Holland 
Student
My target audience for my project would be teenage girls and boys who have a keen interest in fashion and the world that goes along with it. And also would like to be a part of the fashion industry whether it would be working in fashion making clothes modelling the clothes getting an internship or starting at the very bottom by being a runner in a fashion magazines , this film would be for  people that would strive solely to get in to the fashion in some area. The target audience member i have chose is Hannah Holland she is 18 and has a big interest in fashion and normally shops  topshop ,zara , asos , occasionally urban outfitters and she sometimes styles the clothes she has  brought for these shops and also customise them as she just wants to add her stamp on to the clothes . 
They might also depending what area of fashion that they go in they might even make their own clothes. 
Hannah's has a very diverse taste in music she likes whats current in the charts as well as kisstory morning on kiss radio station, she also likes listening to other genres of music like indie she isn't set onto one type of music. 

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Comparing characters with similarities to the main character of fashion face, I have chosen to compare characteristics of the reality television series 'The Hills' Lauren Conrad . Both my main character and Lauren Conrad work in the fashion industries and both work for big name magazines that dominate the fashion industry and as a contrast they are seen as rivals as one another. For my film i chose to dress my character in a simple outfit as fashion of internships normally dress in understated colours blacks whites beige and have a key accessory , its a more sophisticated and condensed version of what is the going trend on the catwalks like Lauren Conrad who wear all black and the key accessory is the orange head band that adds a flash of colour to the chic black outfit  . I also chose to do have and make up very simple as that of Lauren Conrad also i wanted to have my characters hair up as i feel it looks more sophisticated but also fashionable as i gave height to the top of the hair.
There are some difference between my main character and Lauren Conrad is their attitudes my character is far more opinionated for instance when in the opening scene the editor of the magazine was ringing her she answered and didn't give them to talk and just said "I'm on my way " followed by her then putting the phone down and then going on her way. This is one of the main differences between my main character and Lauren Conrad who in a similar situation she would be sincerely apologetic toward her editor and wouldn't be as abrupt.
I did partly base my character on Lauren Conrad even though she was a star of a television reality show she fitted the mold  that i wanted for my character by working in a dominating fashion magazine being an intern also and also the way she dresses and styles her hair and makeup.
