Questionnaire results

A while ago we handed out questionnaires to our friends about music videos and types of music, I posted the questions on my blog in a previous post but these are the results we received. We decided to send our questionnaire over facebook as well as hand it out in a physical form to people to use different types of media. These are some of the results that we gained through messaging people through Molly's facebook:







From these results and all of our other ones, we found that most people watch music videos on the Internet and some on the TV but they are rarely downloaded to watch. People watch music videos very frequently, mostly every day or at least weekly. The majority of people's expectations of rock music videos we found are that they should be mainly performance where the band are shown with their instruments. Also the colours that they associate with the rock genre are mainly dark colours such as black and white and grey.

These results have made us more confident in our idea to have a black and white video and to also have a lot of performance element because hopefully this is what will appeal to our audience the most.

Questionnaire

We have made our questionnaire and started to hand it out to people to fill in to help us with our research and make our music video suitable for our audience.

These are our questions that we have asked and I will put the results up when we get them all in:

1. How old are you?
-14 [ ] 14-16 [ ] 17-20 [ ] 21-25 [ ] 25-30 [ ] 30+ [ ]

2. Are you male or female?
Male [ ] Female [ ]

3. How do you usually watch music videos?
TV [ ] Internet [ ] Download [ ] Other [ ]

4. What is your favourite genre?
Rock [ ] Pop [ ] Alternative [ ] Jazz [ ] RnB [ ] Heavy metal [ ] Classical [ ] Other [ ]

5. How often do you watch music videos?
Never [ ] Everyday [ ] Every week [ ] Every few weeks [ ] Rarely [ ]

6. Do you prefer funny or serious music videos?
Funny [ ] Serious [ ]

7. Do you prefer music videos that are reaistic or non realistic?
Realistic [ ] Non realistic [ ]

8. What are your expectations of rock music videos?

9. How do you interpret the lyrics "She's such a charmer"?

10. What music channel would you expect to see a Kings of Leon music video on?

11. What colours do you think represent the rock genre? and why?

I think that we have a wide variety of questions that will help us gain an understanding of what people want from a music video and what will work and we also used a mix of open and closed questions throughout the questionnaire.

Questionnaire

We are creating a questionnaire as a group to gain audience feedback about music videos. This will help us to gain more ideas for our own music video because it will give us an understanding of the audience we are aiming our video at and what their expectations are.

The questions we will ask people will help us find out:
Who are our audience?
Where are they?
How do they access music videos?
What are their expectations of a music video from our rock genre?
What do they want in a music video?

We will ask a variety a qualitative and quantitative questions to gain a more detailed and personal response.
We will have to think about how we will distribute the questionnaire? whether it is face to face or on the internet on social networking sites such as Facebook.
