Music by Benji Michael

Sex Pistols 'Sex Pistols' were an English punk-rock band from the 1970s from London. They were influential in the uprising of punk-rock and inspired many other people to make punk-rock music. The band consists of Sid Vicious, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, John Lydon and Glen Matlock. Some regard 'Sex Pistols' as one of the most influential bands in the history of pop music. 'Sex Pistols' have been signed to record labels such as Warner Bros., Universal and Virgin. Some of the band members were working-class citizens. Punk Rock Punk rock is a mix between rock music and punky culture. It is very loud and 'out-of-control'. The bands tend to be all male. Punk-rockers usually wear dark eye-make-up and a lot of shirts and jackets without sleeves and jeans. They are most noticeable when they have an iconic mohawk as their hairstyle. Usually the music is loud, fast-paced and the musicians go crazy when they performs. Smoke and fire connotes with punk-rock...

Explain how and why producers of radio programmes target different audiences. Refer to the Radio 1 Live Lounge to support you answer. (10 marks) BBC Radio 1 has a primary target age group of 16-21, and a secondary target audience of 22-28, as well as all the other different age groups that are at the events (can be seen in Sam Smith's Live Lounge performance). They target different races, as seen in Sam Smith's Live Lounge performance, with a white performer and a majority black orchestra. This makes black people feel more connected to the show as if it were an all-white cast it wouldn't be inclusive to others at all. The performer is also gay, which would surely draw in more viewers and listeners from the LGBTQ+ etc. community.

1. How do audiences use music videos to construct their identity? In the Little Mix music video, the target audience are girls aged 12-16. Little Mix display multiple acts of confidence and power when they have transformed from geeky teenagers to popular students. If the audience had a preferred reading of this, it could influence girls changing personality traits and evolve into the 'cooler' outfit, as it is how Little Mix are portrayed in the media text. The video is more accepting as it includes a mixed-race band, followed by an Asian love-interest, who challenges his stereotype of being a technologically gifted student, to a popular kid. As well as the teacher challenging his stereotype of being a criminal because he's darker-skinned, to a school teacher. This video contrasts with The Vamps' video, as they have an all-white cost in the music video, however it is targeted at the same audience as Little Mix. This music video also promotes the 'male gaze' the...
