Questionnaire Results


2/15

From this question you can see that more males responded in comparison to females. This

could result in a biased questionnaire in regards to the further questions. Stereotypically,

the results could show that the 39% of females prefer whilst the 61% of males prefer rock.

However, we cant rely on stereotypes, therefore the questionnaire might not be completely

biased.

From this question, it shows that there is a large proportion of the 16-20 age group from

who we questioned compared to the others. This may influence the final decisions in

regards to the music video. However, beforehand we had a specific target audience of

which we wanted to promote our music video to. Therefore, the other age groups may not

be as important, but we still wanted to have a broad idea of what age groups prefer.

Indie

From this question you can see that there is a mixtures of results with pop music taking23% to rock 14%. It shows that most people we asked preferred pop music (23%) which

suggest we should do a more upbeat mainstream song however with a 7% difference indie

music is the second most popular choice which suggest there is a split difference between

mainstream and independent music. This will influence are decision when making are video

as there is a mixed choice of types of music however it seems that the indie or pop route

would be the best type of music genre to go down.

4. Do you prefer mainstream or independent music?

56%

44%

Mainstream

IndependentThe way in which this question hasbeen answered shows that the

consensus is fairly narrow. 56% of

people prefer mainstream music to the

44% of people who favour independent

music. Because there was only 8%

between both answers we feel that it isnot an important decision to whether

we should pick a mainstream or

independent song.

We also asked the public why they preferred their chosen answer, with results explaining the

choice. Some of the audience explained that they enjoyed independent music because it wasmore personal, which could be beneficial to us because we want to use a meaningful and

powerful narrative that the audience can relate to. Others said that they listened to mainstream

music due to the fact that it was easily available and how it was promoted well in the charts.

This is was interesting to look upon, but doesnt necessarily help us because our primary focus

is the music video itself.

5. Whats your favourite song and why?

We asked this question because we wanted to

know what songs people related to and whatgenerally made it their favorite song. Lyrics are

important within this because we want to know

how we can correspond lyrics with the video

itself. From the results we received there are

older songs and newer songs, due to the fact we

asked a wide range of people from different agegroups. A general overview of the responses

depicts that the public enjoy listening to

passionate songs that are inspirational. We will

take this into consideration for when we are

choosing our song and creating our music video.

The basic information such as; age and gender could influence the different opinions.

Due to the biased respondents in which there are more males than females, and more 16-

20 year olds rather than other ages, this could heavily impact on the final consensus.

6. What instruments do you prefer to be the basis of

a song?

17%

39%

11%Drums

Piano

Guitar

Electronic

From this question, we can see that most people prefer Piano (39%) and Guitar (33%)

which is very narrow, indicating to us that our target audience dont mind which instrument

we choose within a song, as long as it includes either a guitar or a piano. This is important

as this is where we decide what song we decide to use. These are the results that we

intended to receive as most songs use a variety of instruments including the piano and

guitar, and we felt this would be the easiest to find a song for that suits the results of our

questionnaire.

7. Do you prefer songs with meaningful lyrics, and

why?

83%

17%

Yes

No

From this question you can see that 83% of the people we questioned prefer to have

meaningful lyrics within a song which suggest that when we make our music video we

should definitely choose a song which can be related to and expressive lyrics. Eventhough are age group and gender is not equal to get a fair result the mass percentage of

people who preferred songs with meaningful lyric wipe out whether a particular age

group or gender said what they preferred which suggest that the majority of people from

all ages prefer songs with meaningful lyrics.

Living on a PrayerBon Jovi

Make it StopRise Against

As a group we felt that this was one of the vital

questions that we needed answers for. This was

because the inspiration from other music videos is

something the we looked at in our first task. We

need to what other music videos are popular, so

wee can look at them and maybe take the positives

and include them in our own.

There is a range of answers from Tears Dont Fall Bullet For My Valentine to Need U

100% AME ft Duke Dumont, which are two completely different genres showing that the

audience are not dependable or niche. This may be a a negative thing as we conducted the

questionnaire to hopefully come to a final conclusion of what was popular, however the

answers varied and there was no clear idea of what was popular.


10/15

9. Do you prefer enthusiastic or cynical videos, and

why?

67%

33% Enthusiastic

Cynical

As a group we felt it vital to ask the question

in regards to enthusiastic and cynical videos.

The reasoning for this was to ultimately be

informed upon whether the majority enjoyed

uplifiting videos, or ones that were more

moving and would inflict a sorrowful attitude.

From the questionnaire we have observed that 67% of people prefer enthusiastic videos in

comparison to the 33% of people who would rather watch cynical videos. The audience who

opted for enthusiastic clarified this by saying that enthusiastic videos make them more excited

and are generally more fun to watch. Some of the respondents said that the decision depended on

their mood, as individuals may feel it appropriate to watch pessimistic videos so they are in touchwith their emotions. However we have concluded that we would prefer to inflict positive energy

upon our audience, which is why we have came to the conclusion of choosing to create an

uplifting video.


11/15

10. Do you like quirky or simplistic videos, and why?

72%

28%Quirky

Simplistic

From this question, we can see that from

the people responding, they prefer quirky

videos (72%). This may be because they

prefer to see something different within

the videos that keeps their attention

throughout. 28% of people that responded

liked simplistic videos, showing that

although quirky is fun and exciting,

people clearly want something thats

interesting and simple.

Most of the comments which we received underneathh this question clearly displayed

peoples opinions on the subject. Most felt that although simplistic and quirky videos are

interesting, depending on their mood they might prefer either one. This shows that whenwe decide on a song and create a video for it, it might get positive or negative feedback

depending on the moods of our target audience.


12/15

11. How long do you expect music videos to be?

22%

78%

2-3 minutes

3-4 minutes

From this question it shows that people expect music videos to be between 3-4 minutes

rather than 2-3 minutes. This will help us when making our music video as we are more

likely to choose a song that is between 3-4 minutes as 78% of people expect music videos

to be that long compared to the 22% of people who only said 2-3 minutes. This may not be

an accurate result however because songs may be longer or shorter than the time

restrictions we have given. However on average songs usually range between 2-4 minutes

which suggest that our results are more or less exact. Although we will never know if

people prefer songs nearer 3 minutes or 4 minutes therefore we might accidently makes

the music video too long.


13/15

12. Do you like a strong narrative within music

videos, and why?

72%

28%

Yes

No

This was a significant question before we

created the questionnaire, as we already

came to the decision that it was essential to

have a strong narrative, in order to make our

music video appealing. We were glad to see

that the majority (72%) of people enjoyedwatching music videos that had a strong

narrative to them.

When we asked the public why, they answered stating that music videos having narratives were

much easier to follow and that they were also engaging. The publics answers were cohesive with

ours, which was incredibly beneficial to us as a group because we already made the same

decision beforehand to include a strong narrative. We also analysed the reasoning for why people

may not have wanted a narrative, as 28% of people said no. Many of the replies that showed not

wanting a narrative came back with N/A for the explanation. We looked at this as further

explanation to why we should pick otherwise.


14/15

13. Do you mind having repetitive footage

throughout the video, and why?

74%

26%

YesNo

From this question, we can see that 74% of people wont enjoy repetitive footage

compared to the 26% of people who didnt mind. From the feedback that we received, we

can see that repetitive footage isnt the way to go and that we shouldnt include it in the

final draft of our music video. This is because people find it irritating if repetitive footage

is used and people find it boring and dull. This question has enabled us to find out that

nobody enjoys repetitive footage, which ultimately has made us come to the decision that

repetitive footage will not be used.


15/15

14. Do you think miming is necessary in a music

video, and why?

56%

44% Yes

No

As you can see from this question you can see the results are very close with 56% of people

thinking miming is necessary in a music video to 44% of people saying it isnt. from these

results it suggest our group has a choice on whether we should mime in the music video since

the results are very close however our group is more likely to be influence by the 12%

difference and therefore mime in our music video.
