X Factor - Audience Task

The X Factor has a very wide audience because it is based on music, which a lot of people take an interest in. Also, it isn't just a specific type of music, it has a range of music. The intended audience would be families, younger people, and couples. This is because it involves social integration so people can discuss the show whilst watching it aswell as after the show has aired. X Factor is also commonly mentioned on social networking sites the evenings that it is showed. This makes people want to see what is going on and get involved in the action. It gives the audience escapism and entertainment. They can relax and unwind whilst watching the X Factor on a Saturday and Sunday evening whilst getting glimpses of comedy, usually from the auditions. The programme is constructed and meditated in different ways. For example, in the auditions, they will film all the people auditioning, but only pick the extremely good ones or the funny ones to be shown in the hour. Also, at the judges houses, we only see the best bits such as the upsets and singing but we don't see what goes on behind close doors as it isn't entertaining for the audience.
