“How Old Are You?”1

10 to 1213 to 1516 to 18Other

The Results of this question asked to 30 people shows that the majority of people asked are of

ages 16-18, with 24 people fitting into that age group. Second to

that by quite a large margin is 13 to 15 year olds with 4 people in that group, then 10 to 12 year olds and ‘others’ with only one person each. Since we’re in a school this questions answers

very efficiently covered all possible age groups, even with the ‘other’ age just in case a teacher or other person was

involved in the questionnaire conducting, which they were.

From these results we can conclude that our audience is

mostly 16 to 18 year olds, and so our video should appeal mostly to

that group, with more mature themes to the narrative. This also

allows for us to create a more sophisticated narrative that 16 to 18 year olds would understand,

but others younger may not.

“How Often Do You Listen To Music?”

Everyday without fail

Sometimes (more than twice but less than 4 times a week)

Regularly (at least 4 times a week)

Once a week

Don’t listen to music

These results show that the majority of our audience listen to

music ‘sometimes’ (more than twice but less than 4 times a week’. This was followed by

‘Everyday without fail’, then a drawn ‘once a week’ and

‘Regularly’ (At least 4 times a week). The least answered group was ‘Don’t listen to music’ with only 1 person fitting into that

category. This question was hard to give answers too, looking back

at it, since the ‘Sometimes’ option and ‘Regularly’ don’t work well when trying to say

how often you listen to music, as does ‘Once a Week’. This

questions answers were flawed in many ways.

From these results we can conclude that our audience are regular

listeners of music, and are likely to be listening to songs on a daily basis whenever they can. Because of this we need to make our music video interesting and engaging in order

for our audience to be able to enjoy watching it multiple times without

losing interest.

“What Is Your Favourite Genre?”

Looking at these results its clear that Pop is the more

popular genre, with 14 people answering with that genre. The least popular genre was Band music, possibly because the question didn’t phrase that category specifically enough since there are multiple types

of ‘Band’ music, including Pop. Grime was second most popular with 6 people voting

that answer, then R&B, with 5, then House with 3. This question wasn’t too well

phrased, as there are a lot more genres people may enjoy so this small selection may not

allow for truthful answers.

From these results we can conclude that the most popular genre of

music to our audience on average is Pop, possibly because of the more

upbeat theme the genre usually follows. Because of this, we will

have to ensure that our music video is upbeat and enjoyable, like a pop

video in order to satisfy our audience visually and audibly.

“What Is Your Favourite Song From That Genre?”

This Questions Results show that the most popular song from the Pop genre is ‘Love Yourself’ by Justin Bieber,

with 4 people voting for that song. This is followed by

Uptown Funk with 3 votes, then Cake by the Ocean,

Send my Love and Hello with 2 votes, then We don’t talk anymore with just 1. This

question was open and allowed for people to

contribute their own answers, giving us a more honest

group of answers.

From these results we can conclude that ‘Love Yourself’ is the most popular Pop song at the moment. This could be down

to many reasons, including the music video and the story it tells, or the

message the song actually tells. If the song is popular because of these

possibilities, we should make sure our music videos narrative is clear and

enjoyable for the audience to watch as it is told.

“What do you find most important in a song?

This Questions Results show the people we questioned

found a good tune the most important part of a song,

closely followed by Lyrical focus. Good vocals was voted for by 7 people, and 3 people came out with other answers, along the lines of catchy tunes or certain artists involvement

in a song (Feat. Songs.)

From these results we can conclude that the most important part of a song is the actual musical element. Because of this we must make sure we pick a song that people like, that has a good tune/ beat,

in order to keep the audience entertained through the video.

Strong Nar-rative

Visual Focus Focus on Dance

Focus on the artist

“What do you find most important in a music video?

This Questions Results show the people we questioned

found that focus on the artist was most important in a

video, followed by quite far, Strong narrative. After that, focus on dance follows, then

visual focus is less important, with the view that how the actual video looks isn't as important as other parts.

From these results we can conclude that the most important part of a Music

Video is Focus on the artist. Because of this we have to make sure there are

plenty of shots of the main singer, as well as having a narrative alongside

these artist shots.

thought the best song for a video narrative was ‘Settle Down’ by the 1975. this was

followed by ‘Kiss Me’ by Olly Murs’, then The Scripts

‘Superheroes’, then gnash's ‘I Hate You I Love You’From these results we can conclude that

the best song for creating a narrative out of the choices is ‘Settle Down’,

which is why we will be using this as our videos song as we think the narrative

will come easiest with this song.

“What would you do to improve the idea you chose?”

This Questions Results show the ideas people suggested on how to improve the idea they

chose, with most answers referring to small changes in the songs narrative, followed by suggesting no changes at

all, then Changing the Narrative completely, then

with only one person suggesting it, changing the

song completely.

From these results we found out a lot about peoples views on our idea, as well as gaining plenty of ideas from others

for improvements on our videos narrative, some of which we will incorporate into the actual video.
