Identifying the Artist, Their Star Image & Target Audience



The original artist for the song “Breathe Me” which is the track we’re using for our music video is called, Sia.

Her Star Image:

The media has built Sia up into a character through publication, promotion and criticisms to her fans that is; powerful, emotional, ‘close by’ and someone that they can relate to. Sia, has released tracks having being featured by the most highly paid DJ currently in the world David Guetta. Through the lyrics in this song:

I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up

[Chorus:]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose



She is reaching out to her audience with inspirational lyrics, allowing them to respond in a very positive way.

In other tracks of hers, such as the one that we are using for our music video have much more sorrowful lyrics:

Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up



Her Target Audience:

Sia’s music is aimed to directly appeal to teenage girls with high emotional levels as her the sound of her music and the lyrics involved would have the strongest affect on.



Character and acts list: 

Sia (Ivy) > Georgina Morton



Beaten Girl > Xenia Petley



Food Boy > Richard

Mum the Cook > Chloe Cannon



Transvestite > Peter Bergin



Budoir Babe > Izzy Hardie
