This lesson goes over the target audience profiles in KS5 Media (CTECH level 3). Including demographics (physical) and psychographics (mental) audience profiles. I printed off magazine covers and film posters to engage the pupils at the start and to gauge what pupils already know about target audience. Then going over target audience categories. Progress - then going back to the notes made in the starter - this could be purple penned. Then it goes through two adverts (Tesco and Volkswagen) for pupils to decide which audience they are targeted at. Then pupils are given two products to research in groups and they will present to the class which audience profiles the products have and how they attract these. Homework: to find the 'user types' of psychographics.
