Understanding audiences is
crucial and this can be done by understanding how you consume music.
For your music video it is crucial you understand who your audience is and so how to target them,
recognising their needs and tailoring your productions to them.
Awareness of the role of constructing an identity, visuals and persona - this is appealing and needs to connect with the audience.
Recognition that the audience needs to connect emotionally with your video/song is key to creating a good media product - humour, pathos, shock value etc
