Zoella- Audience

 Who are Zoella's target audience?

  • Zoella's audience will consist of 13-24 year olds, who are BC1C2 (youthful, energetic, associated with advertising and getting money off), this is because there is moderate formal language
  • Also Zoella's house represents an ideal youthful environment
  • This audience groups is to be associated with more lucrative advertising tie-ins
How might the audience interact and participate?
  • On Youtube there are various forms of interaction, for example, the comments section
  • This is a moderated area of conversation on Zoella's channel, in this section the audience can leave a positive comment
  • Also, the audience can vote on polls that are left on the video, this can give a sense of influence on the upcoming videos/content
  • The audience are able to interact with Zoella through her Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and email. Twitter and Instagram both have polls as well as the ability to message people and comment. 
  • Through these social media platforms the audience can make comments about her content
What are collaboration videos? How can they help broaden their audience?
  • A collaboration is when two or more creators combine on one piece of media, this will increase the audience size and the range of audience types
  • With a collaboration the audience will be widened because the viewership that is associated with the collaborator will move over to the channel that is hosting the video
  • An example of this is when Zoella does a video with Joe Sugg, her viewership almost doubles from its regular trend
  • Some of these viewers may then subscribe to her channel. which will give her a higher viewership on an average video
How might the topics and representation resonate with the experiences of the target audience?
  • A target audience is everyone that might be interested in your product or service 
  • Therefore by talking about makeup and beauty she interests all her teenage fans that are interested and want to watch her and she always represents herself as an ordinary everyday life young adult that has a desirable face and make up skills therefore her target audience can relate to her and look up to her as a realistic goal
  • Intimate confessional tone- creates a relatable female character 
  • Quiet/passive presentation style that fits with most target audience expectations

End of Audience and Zoella

Clay Shirky argues  that audiences in today’s online age are no longer passive consumers of media content.  How far is this true of online audiences ? So applying it to Zoella? Through fan art and fan fiction which are both perfect examples of the internet creating their own content  This is also done through memes which circulate the internet  For example, 'Scamella' or when Alfie was accused of poverty tourism after tying to live off £1 for a day and the mocking that followed  Similarly, when The Sun ran a salacious article about a relatively innocent image that Zoe had posted on snapchat, in defence many influences posted a similar photo to show they stood with her with the hashtag #westandwithzoe Q&As through her comment sections and how she allows her fans to ask questions receive answers https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=zoella+q%26a Being an active audience member means you engage with Zoella, through commenting etc.    Overa...

Riptide and The Man comparison

    Analyse the representation of gender in the music videos for   "The Man "  by Taylor Swift and   "Riptide "  by Vance Joy  The man and Riptide focus on different representations of women.

In the start of the video when Swifts character is walking through the office we see the women in the background fighting over a scrunched up piece of paper he has thrown into the air, this shows that women are easily impressed by men who are attractive or powerful. Later on in the video we see the protagonist in the park with their daughter, he picks up his daughter and throws her in a playful way and then we see a close up of two women blushing and impressed with the way he barely cares for his daughter, This further highlights the idea women are easily impressed by powerful and handsome men. Women are also highly sexualised throughout the video. Firstly on the bo...
