Audience Research

I did some research into products that are similar to our and found out what kind of audience they had, because if it was products like our it is most likely it will be very similar people that are going to be looking at our product. I chose to look up Taylor Momsen which is the lead singer of The Pretty Reckless, who is known for her image of rock and quite dramatic stylish, she had also toured with Marilyn Manson, this gives you and idea of the music she makes. Our lead singer has a few similarities to Taylor Momsen but we did not want the image of our band to be too dark. It is slightly rock but also seen as alternative and electronic at the same time.

I researched on sights such as Myspace, Twitter and Youtube. Taylor Momsen has these sights so that she can be in constant connection with her fans and update them about tours, songs and her private life. I found what I had expected, a lot of trait marks within the fans of Taylor Momsen have obviously been very inspired by her style and image. A lot of the fans also have shown to have a similar taste in music, such as other rock bands as Nirvana etc.

This above is a picture of a fan that has tagged Taylor Momsen on her photo on MySpace, it is obvious in this picture that she has similar clothes and animal prints, her eye make up is very heavy and it is obvious that she has been inspired by her style. 

Here is picture of Taylor Momsen so you can se the similarities.. 

This is a man named J.C. Nelson who follows Taylor Momsen on Twitter. You can tell by the way he is dressed and his whole image that he is very inspired by his taste in music. He has also chose to make a replicate of a Rolling Stone magazine with himself on the cover with a guitar. As Rolling Stone is a famous magazine for musicians you can tell he aspires to be more. 

Here you can also see the inspiration he has gotten from her classic black guitar, and the rock and roll clothes with leather and the choppy black hair. 

You can tell by the music that J.C. Nelson also has songs that look very relatable to hers. This is some music he has written himself and for example the first song he has on his list is "Get sick and die" one of taylor momsens most popular songs are "Makes me wanna die". 

As I looked through more pictures from fans and of Taylor Momsen. I also discovered the sexual image that she has. It's not enough that she barely wears any clothes, it has also become common known that she has female fans come up on stage with her undressing until their standing in their bras on top or less. So I looked through more of her fans and found this one above, and when she writes about herself she writes that she is bisexual. Seeing the image above from one of her concerts, this can be seen as she is portraying an image of exploring with sexuality which is inspiring her fans. 

All in all Taylor Momsens audience which is going to be quite similar to our are inspired by her style, and the image she has created for herself. They like that she shows herself as someone individual and a rebel, meaning that her fans are more likely to act out as well. They are also very interested in her live performances and the way in which she performes, bringing fans up on stage etc. We hope that the audience we would have is going to respond to the same way of being hooked on the style of the people within our band, and that they would enjoy the performance in our video so they would be very interested in tour dates and live performances.
