Audience Profile - This target audience is very similar to the one above . The main target audience would be fans of the artist at the same age range maybe a bit older 12-21 as it is a more grown up smell with the designer in her 20's so slight older girls would think its acceptable to buy it. The advert will attract girls attention as it has a fairy tale like theme which all girls wish for.

ASA regulations

All these adverts meet the ASA requirements. As it is all original footage with no extracts from any programmes or videos. All these adverts are copyrighted by the producers of the adverts. There is no unacceptable material in any of these adverts e.g. no swearing , no sex , no drugs and alcohol. All of the adverts are rated under 18 so they can all have a wide range of viewers. The Justin Bieber - Someday advert could get complaints on the fact he seems to trying to seduce a young girl by smelling her neck and holding her hand , he has a lot of very young fans that might watch this and think that is right for them to also do this as they look up to him. Also with the Dior - Miss Dior Cherie advert the main girl is very skinny which could cause press to label her with names such as 'anorexic' and makes it look like they are promoting skinny girls and that to be a dior girl and to wear the perfume you have to be skinny. Another thing i picked up on that some viewers may not approve of is at the very beginning of the Taylor Swift - Wonderstruck advert she looks naked for a split second as she has a strapless dress on this may offend viewers as alot of young girls look up to her and idolize her.

Advertising codes of practice

Advertising Codes give advertisers and media owners rules to follow while making an advert. They include basic rules that state advertising must not mislead, be responsible, not to offend and specific rules that cover advertising to children and ads for alcohol, gambling, motoring, health and financial products. 

Some of the rules are : 

·         Adverts can’t use extracts from parliamentary proceedings.

·         Adverts cannot use extracts from any recent or previous programmed without the programmes permission.

·         You may not use copyright material in your advert, IE logos or music from other programmes or music artists without their permission.  

·         Cigarettes may not be used in any way in an advert.

·         Guns or gun clubs are not to be advertised.

·         Escort agencies and pornography is unsuitable to put on TV adverts, therefore it is not allowed.

·         Adverts are not allowed to be aimed at political issues such as elections.

·         If during the advert the advert talks about something that exists (person or object) they cannot say false information in other words misleading information is not allowed.

·         Anything with a rating of 18 or over (games and films mostly) cannot be shown on TV unless permission is granted by the classification board, and even then it will most likely be shown at a later time in the day (after 9 or 10 pm most likely).

·         Violence is allowed in adverts, but only to a certain limit. Violence can only be used in an advert if it has a good reason behind why there is violence. Gore from the violence such as blood would be seen as too much and allowed on the TV.

·         Racism and sexism and other related issues are not allowed to be shown on TV if the purpose is just to encourage it. However it would be allowed if the TV advert was showing at as bad thing for the public to do and encouraging people to help stop it.

I have to and have stuck to the codes of practice in my advert by being very careful and making sure there is nothing that will at all apply to any of the above.

Target Audience 

My Target audience is for teenage girls , house wife's and rich women (upper class). Around all ages mostly ranging 16-40 this is as the advert is quite lively ,upbeat and modern. I will be mainly focusing on teenage girls around the age of 15-24. It is a high class advert and will appeal more to the middle / upper class. It shall be aired in between programs like reality shows , fashion shows , music shows and soaps. I have chosen this as these are the main shows woman watch and as it is still a 'high fashion' advert it still needs to look classy. Some perfume advert aren't targeted at teens as they like to focus more towards sophisticated ages as the scent is elegant and also sophisticated.


Psychographics
In the fields of marketing, demographics, opinion research, and social research in general, psychographic variables are any attributes relating to personality, values, attitudes, interests, or lifestyles. They are also called IAO variables (for Interests, Activities, and Opinions). They can be contrasted with demographic variables (such as age and gender), behavioral variables (such as usage rate or loyalty), and firmographic variables (such as industry, seniority and functional area).

Geodemography

Geodemography is the art and science of profiling people based on where they live. Geodemographic systems estimate the most probable characteristics of people based on the pooled profile of all people living in a small area near a particular address

The purpose of adverts is to manly promote a product and to get the public talking about it. They make the product look incredible and something you NEED. Adverts make you spend money on items you want and like and sometimes hypnotise you into wanting something even though you may not need or like it e.g. food adverts they make the actors really overly enjoy the food even though some people may not like it. They are clever with the way they are put to together making the product look its best. They show you what the item does or is for and sometimes tell you the price. Adverts can also be informative and also educational.  Whereas Charity adverts e.g. NSPCC , ACTION AID and UNICEF  make us feel guilty and make everything look bad and pressure you into giving money e.g. saying ‘it’s down to you if someone survives or not’. Adverts helps the world go round by making us go out and spend our money  they also give a lot of people jobs like camera men , editors , directors , actors etc. Adverts also use catchy jingles to make a viewer remember it and stick in there head.
