Media Studies      Induction Task - Target Audience

The television programme which I feel is relevant to this target audience task is Celebrity Big Brother . This is because It has a variety of different ages of people and characters in it, so then there will be a lot of different ages watching it , also different nationalities will want to watch it as the big brother included a wide range of nationality in the house .

Celebrity Big Brother I feel for the target audience would suit a lot of ages because in the house there isn’t just the same ages there is people who are young adults , mid adulthood and even older so then many people can relate to the program . However I don’t feel the old generation would appeal to watch big brother due to they would not find it relevant to them as there is nothing particularly interesting to watch for them as all you are doing is watching people just like us but who are celebrities sitting around and talking. As well as this many adults who do not want the soaps would not feel the need to watch the program because they would not be able to understand and connect with the people in the house as they wouldn’t know anyone so then they would feel it’s a waste of time watching a program which would have nothing to do with them. However with the younger generation even if they don’t watch the soaps they may still feel the need to watch it because it is the talk of conversation now days for the younger people so you can tell people who you want to win and who you most dislike and they will feel included in the conversation and not feel overwhelmed as they don’t know what there friends are talking about .The scenes which will justify my answer is on every friend there is a live eviction and its shows you all the people who are cheering and chanting outside the house and if you look at all the people outside the house you will relise most of the ages are all young adults you do not see many of the older generation or infact older adults there unless they are family with one of the celebrities in the house and still then its most of the younger family there, This proves that its mainly the younger generation which get involved with big brother .Inclusion I think for the target audience based on all the evidence I think is mainly for the younger generation as they have no concept of ringing in and wasting money on voting for people where as the adults would feel they have worked for there money just to ring in and make a person win big brother just so they can get more money .

The nationality which celebrity big brother provides for is mainly the British people because in the house at the start 13 people go into it and out of the thirteen this year there is only like 3 which aren’t from Britain . This shows that the nationality is mostly for people in Britain . A good intense scène to show this is when everyone first comes into the house mostly all the Britain people get cheered but when the other nationalities come into the house they can get booed this is because a lot of people do not know who they are and will have only heard or seen about them in magazines which now days may not send off the good message to the public so they won’t want to watch a program with people if they don’t know and can’t relate to who them . This is why I think the nationality is most for British people as there is never a lot of nationalities in the house and if there is they never seem to win it so it shows that British people will a lot of the times only won for British members in the house.

There is not a certain target audience in gender in who watches celebrity big brother as there is many different genders in the house , this is a good thing as then everyone in the audience can relate to at least one of the celebrities and can feel included also if there was only one gender in the house then it could become sexist and not as many people would watch it so then the program wouldn’t get as much money. This is why the programs wants a large ranger of genders watching the show and in the show so then everyone can feel accepted as if there is a celebrities in the show which is like them then they can feel more comtable within themselves also it will make them want to vote that person in the house so then the big brother get more benefits out of it .
