Target Audience

Grange Hill: young teens

There is use of quite childish animation which at times is humerous. It is shown on CBBC which automatically makes the audience associate the show with children and the time slot of around 5pm indicates that the target audience is for children/ young teens.

Hollyoaks: teenagers/ young adults

They use lots of goodlooking actors to appeal to the audience. The use of gender/ sex symbols in the titles suggest that sex is referenced within the the show which makes the target audience more obvious. A pink and blue colour scheme shows that the show is for both male and female viewers and the time slot of 7pm indicates that the show is suitable for mid-teens onwards.

Hollyoaks Later: older teens/ young adults

This show clearly links to Hollyoaks because it includes a lot of the same characters; the black, silver and red colour scheme suggests that there is a lot more sexuality within in it and that it is much more glamorous than Hollyoaks. The time slot of 10.30 pm shows that it is likely to be intended for older teenagers and young adults.

Skins: older teens

Crazy, out of control parties, drugs, alcohol and loud music are all presented in the Skins opening. Current music is used and the events are quite relatable to teen life. The lifestyle shown is quite extreme and more of a desirable lifestyle for teens; the images shown aren't very glamorous but show excitement and quite a rebellious lifestyle that is enticing to the target audience. The time slot of 10pm indicates that it is for older teens and allows drug use, sex scenes etc to be shown.
