Results

As you can see from these results, Jack and I asked the same amount of males and females so we could get different results from different genders.

When asking the question 'How old are you?' we got most of the answers around 15-18. This is because these are our target market - who we are hoping to attract when our music promo is made. With this is mind, we would have to make sure the conventions used will suit their needs.

This response was to the question 'What's your favouite genre?'. We found that our answers matched mostly between pop and rock which we found useful as our chosen song fits into the pop rock genre. With this is mind, we would have to use the conventions suited for this genre to keep those who like that genre interested.

These answers were all to the question 'Whose your favouite artist?'. The results that were the highest were Rihanna and Fun - both pop rock artists. This is something we'd work towards as we can use the conventions they used in their promo to cover ours. This would hopefully keep our target audience interested in our promo.

The question these responses came from was 'What's your favouite song?'. This would give us an idea of what style artist they like listening to and watching. The main response came under other, but one of the favouite songs was 'We Found Love' a song by Rihanna. As Rihanna's songs are based around pop rock, we could look at her style and see how we can use that in our promo. This is because her target market obviously like what she first did, so she carried it on.

After those questions we gave the audience a chance to listening to our chosen track. With this is mind, we then came up with questions that might help us when planning and creating our promo.

This response was from the question 'what would you expect to see in a music video for this song?'. The best response we got was a mix of performance and narrative and something we'd look into doing when planning. We would have to analyise the lyrics to see if we could think of a successful storyline behind it, so the narrative would match the lyrics - if not then the promo wouldn't be successful. We would look into doing this as it's something our audience want.

This response was from the question 'Are they any features you don't like when watching a music video?'. The obvious results came up were a lack of variety of different shots, too much surrealism and complicated storyline. With this in mind, when planning, creating and editing our music promo we would ave to make sure we stick to keeping the storyline simple so our target market can understand the promo and how it links to the lyrics. Also, have a wide variety of shots shown for example, close ups to show emotion. This would show we have creative skills and we've thought about what shot types fit with a certain lyrics. This is something we'd have to work on throughout the whole process so it fits together perfectly at the end.

Finally, this the response from the question 'Do you like the idea of a tongue-in-cheek video to match the tone of the song?'. We asked this question as looking as certain promos we could see this element involved and wondered if we should use itin ours. The response gave us a possitive view of having it invovled as the song seems to be along that genre. Before we start filming we would possibly have to practice this technique to see if it's successful, if not we will not use it in our promo.
