On BBC Radio 1

There are a variety of reasons how and why producers of radio programmes target different audiences. In my response, I will elaborate on ideas on how this is represented in various radio media.

Radio producers have to appeal to a wide audience, with diverse tastes and preferences. This is done by featuring specific stars with the target audience they want to appeal to. For example, BBC Live Lounge featured Harry Styles performing a Fleetwood Mac song- "The Chain", combining Harry Styles' mainstream Brit-pop, mainly young, female audience with the maturer, mainly male audience who like rock and country music. This is effective because this causes those combined audiences to connect, and the fanbase to diversify and increase.

BBC Live Lounge attracts diverse target audiences because they broadcast the episodes via different media- like video, radio, online etc. meaning that it can target a wide audience using technology and advertising. The Live Lounge offers a form of content that is specialised to a specific audience, which causes them to return for each episode, however producers want to expand on the existing fanbase by introducing new concepts to the show and interchanging the content so that they attract a wider audience, whilst still maintaining the returning fans.

    6/10 Great answer - well done! To increase your grade:
    - Be specific in your intro - say Radio 1 (not various radio media).
    - In your intro include more institution info e.g. explain when Radio 1 launched live lounge and explain why they needed to.
    - Expand your points about why the two bands/song will appeal.

Lighting high contrast shadows different angles/different camera placement tones/brightness Colour filter monochrome creates an emotional effect  In this part of the video Beyoncé shown in close up. Here the lighting style has changed from hight key to low key In my opinion this part of the video s lit this way because its showing an understanding 'If I Were A Boy'   This video is used to present her views on feminism and how males dominate . The music videos for Bruno Mars 'Uptown Funk' and Beyoncé's 'If I Were A Boy' have a very contrasting use of lighting and colour. For example the lighting in 'If I Were A Boy' high contrast and shadows and the monochrome colour. Uptown Funk uses high-key lighting and the colours are primary so it shows that its upbeat happy and lively. This shows that Uptown Funk is more of a happy son
