Hollyoaks and Hollyoaks Later - Audience Task

The intended audience for these programmes are teenagers to young adults. This is because of the young, attractive characters and the situations they face. It meets certain uses and gratifications such as entertainment and escapism as the continuous storylines keep the audience engaged and they can relate to or feel superior to the situations. It also meets social integration as when an event occurs, other people who watch the show who you socialise with will be talking about it and you can join in and converse about the show. The programme is constructed and mediated by filming a mass number of the same scene and choosing the one that the producers think the actors have performed best.
