For my OCR Media Studies Music Video

1. SURVEY RESULTS

2. How old are you?
This question allowed me to view the average
age range of people who answered my
survey. I wanted to include this as I can
individually select a survey taker and analyse
their view of music videos.
I wasn’t surprised to see that the majority of
people who had completed my survey were
in the age range of 14-17 and 18-21, which
was something I had anticipated.
This allows me to gather more information on the
types of music videos that the specific age ranges
enjoy to watch, if any.

3. What is your gender?
This question allowed me to view the
genders of people who answered my survey. I
wanted to include this as I can see which
gender are more likely to watch a video with
a similar theme to my own.
My results for this question were not
surprising, but are probably not as accurate
as it could be due to the fact that the
majority of people that I am friends with
identify as female.

you listen to the most?

This question allowed me to view the specific
types of music that are popular amongst the
people who answered my survey.
After analysing each person who had
completed my survey, I found out that music
from the pop genre seemed to be the most
popular amongst the age group 14-17, which
was expected.
One thing that did surprise me was the
number of people that listened to foreign
language music, as I thought most music was
listened to in English.

6. Does your opinion of a song change depending on
the music video?
I had an ‘Other’ option for this question as I
wanted to see whether there were certain
parameters which would cause them to
change their mind on a song. Most people said
that their opinion would change depending on
the type of video, and how controversial
videos might affect how they view a song.

7. How often do you watch music videos?
I was most surprised to see how many
people watch videos every week. For
me, I rarely watch videos, and was
quite surprised on the amount of
people who watch at least one video
per day, or watch a video 3 to 5 times a
week.
After looking at my individual survey
takers, it shows that people over the
age of 30 tend not to watch music
videos as often as those in younger
generations.

8. How do you watch music videos?
I was not surprised to see that the majority
of the people who took the survey chose
YouTube as the main platform where they
view videos, and specifically, music videos
are shown through theVEVO channels on
YouTube.
What I was surprised about was the number
of people who watch the videos on music
channels like MTV, as I didn’t think that was
a platform that was still used.
The people who selected ‘Other’ both
stated that they do not watch music videos.

9. What do you think about music videos with a
clear story in relevance to the song?
A selection of responses

10. What do you think about more controversial
music videos?

11. What do you most like to see in a music
video of your choice?

12. What is one of your favourite music
videos?
