Researching demographics for my story.

In our media 2 modules, we were introduced to target demographics. Considering the fact that the ability to target the right demographics plays a massive role in the success of one's carrier, I will outline my own target audience. 


According to what we learned in class it's important to consider the following: Demographics, Sociographics, Psychographics, Geographics, and Behaviours.


To better understand my target audience I did a bit more research on my own. According to Sitar (2019), it's important to think about how my stories or ideas will resonate with the life of the reader and what are they looking for. Also, Reedsyblog (2016), suggests that there is a great chance that my reader will be similar to me. Therefore it is important to think about myself when I think of my target audience.  

Using Canva, I outlined the demographics of my target audience (see below), In later posts, I will try to consider Sociographics and so on.

                                                                          (Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986 - opening scene) In today's class, we were introduced to one of the cult films " Ferris Bueller's Day Off " Written and directed by John Hughes who is also known for works such as "Planes, Trains & automobiles" ( 1987) and "The Breakfast Club" (1985). Movie was  produced by Paramount pictures.(IMDB)  "Paramount Pictures, In full Paramount Pictures Corporation, one of the first and most successful of the Hollywood film studios. It became a subsidiary of viacom in 1994"   (Britannica).   Ferris Bueller's day off in my opinion is ultimate lazy Sunday afternoon movie, sending nothing but good emotions. Matthew Broderick who was nominated for the Golden Globe award in 1987  for the best performance by any actor in motion picture ( Golden Globes) delivers fun, intreaging and all rounded character to life, making us feel like we

Development of my project

With the deadline just around the corner I finished drafting and ready to submit the project I was carrying out throughout the media 2 module. While redrafting for the last time, I aimed to get rid of unnecessary words and sentences in order to control the tone throughout my work. I also looked at minimalism as a literary device.  'Minimum is both an ending and a beginning, the terminus of patient processes of simplification reduction, exposition, intensification and clarification.' (Botha, 2017)   Will You Please Be Quiet,Please? (Carver, 2014),                                        What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (Carver, 2009)    Also, while working on my story I was reading two short story collections written by Raymond Carver: Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. Reading these collections greatly informed me of Raymond Carver's work and gave me inspiration when editing my own work. I was interested by minimalism
