Target audiences and Genres

Target Audiences are formed from different different groups, for example: Adults, teens, children, mid-teens, pre-schoolers.

When looking at my target audience I need to pick an genre. 

To market to any given audience effectively, it is essential to become familiar with your target market; their habits, behaviors, likes, and dislikes. Markets differ in size, assortment, geographic scale, locality, types of communities, and in the different types of merchandise sold. Because of the many variations included in a market it is essential, since you cannot accommodate everyone’s preferences, to know exactly who you are marketing to.

A music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other types of music. It is to be distinguished from musical form and musical style, although in practice these terms are often used in an undifferentiated way. There are around 600 types of genre.

Music can be divided into many genres in many different ways. Due to the different purposes behind them and the different points of view from which they are made, these classifications are often arbitrary and controversial and closely related genres often overlap. Many do not believe that generic classification of music is possible in any logically consistent way, and also argue that doing so sets limitations and boundaries that hinder the development of music. While no one doubts that it is possible to note similarities between musical pieces, there are often exceptions and caveats associated.

At this point in time I intend to do Don't go by Josh Kumra (acoustic version) which falls under the acoustic genre, due to this I will need to look at my target audience which will be acoustic fans and also the forms and conventions of acoustic music videos, by carrying out these two stages I will be able to have a greater understanding of how to make my video so that it appeals to my audience and also follows some of the forms and conventions of its genre so that it is not random and has a set style that the audience will be able to associate with.
