Target Audience - LO2.1

For my project my target audience would be 16 – 19 year olds. As my main target audience is a young age group I have the ability to not limit myself in what I want to do. Young people enjoy photographs that stand out and are bold, also photographs that have an interesting concept to them. Not just a boring photograph or a tree. Considering my project is to document college life using photography I am able to take photographs of students around the college therefore my target audience can easily relate to the photographs.

A second target audience I have our teachers and maybe members of the public that visit the college. For this reason I do not feel it’s appropriate to take photographs of any students smoking or showing public display of affection and some people may get the wrong idea as to what this project is actually about.

By editing the photograph that I have taken it allows me to engage my target auidence as the photographs are more bold and vibrant therefore students will be interested in looking at them. My photographs are of current students that attend the college therefore students will take interest in looking at the photographs as they may know the people in them, or relate to them because they have done some of the same things that the students are doing in the photographs.
Regarding my second target auidence, I have not taken any photographs of students smoking, unacceptable behaviour or public display of affection, they are all college related such as students doing work in library, filming or playing sports. Therefore I feel that members of the public will think these are decent and accept photographs and show hard working students attend Henley College
