This document summarizes the results of a survey about music videos. It includes 12 questions about respondents' gender, age, music viewing habits, preferred genres, and opinions on different types of music videos. The results show that most respondents were females aged 17-24 who enjoy pop, rock, and indie music and watching music videos for their narratives and comedy. Respondents also felt that music videos are important for the success of songs/albums and prefer videos that tell clear stories along with the lyrics. Opinions on controversial or non-traditional videos were mixed.

1. Question 1: What gender are you?
This pie chart clearly shows that
more females than males
completed the survey. In fact, 7
females completed the survey
compared with only 4 males.

2. Question 2: What age are you?
This chart clearly shows that 17 to 24 year olds completed the survey. In fact,
one 11 to 16 year old completed the survey, seven 17 to 24 year olds completed
it, none 25 to 35 year olds completed the survey, neither did 51 to 70 year olds.
However one 36-50 year old completed the survey, likewise did from the 71+
age bracket. This shows that my results are going to be more youth based.

3. Question 3: How often do you watch
music channels?
In this chart, 4 people who completed my survey watch music videos daily. 3 people
watch them 3-5 times a week, 2 people watch them 1-2 times a week. Nobody who
completed the survey watch music videos either less than once a week or once a month.
Whereas 2 people watch music videos less than once a month. This means that my
results will be more biased in favour of people who watch music videos often.

4. Question 4: How do you watch music
videos?
This graph shows that 1 person watches music videos
on their iPod, but 10 people that took my survey
watch music videos on TV Channels. There were also
5 people who watch music videos on YouTube .

5. Question 5: What genre do you
listen/watch?
This graph shows that the people that took my survey
listen to a mixed range of genres of music. However, more
people tended to listen to pop, rock and indie music.

6. Question 6: What do you enjoy seeing
in music videos?
This graph shows that more people
enjoy watching videos that tell stories
and also that are comical, with 6
answers each. However less people
enjoy watching serious and thought
provoking music videos.

7. Question 7: Do you think music videos are
vital to the success of singles/albums?
The results of this question clearly shows that most people believe that
videos are essential to the success of singles/albums. 9 people said yes, and
1 person said no, also the same for unsure.

8. Question 8: What do you think about music videos that
follow a clear narrative/story in relevance to the song
lyrics?
After getting my surveys back, it
seems clear that the majority of
people feel that a clear narrative
is useful to have in a music video,
as some of the quotes included
show. However, people tended to
express that as well as a narrative,
some form of entertainment is
also necessary to be included.

9. Question 9: What do you think about music videos
that attempt at being original and individual, and
may sometimes be controversial? (e.g. Lady Gaga)
Controversial music videos have
very mixed views from the people
who took my survey. A selection
of responses have been included,
which show that controversial
music videos are memorable, but
not always for the right reasons,
so it may be very difficult to make
a video that will be favourable
amongst the majority of people.

10. Question 10: What do you think about music videos
that often follow the artist and don’t use dance
routines and studio simulated footage?
Again, similarly to question 9,
there was a mixed response, as
these quotes show. The response
from the survey connotes that it
would be very hard to make a
popular music video using dance
routines and studio simulated
footage.

11. Question 11: What would you most like
to see in a music video of your choice?
This question allowed me to get
an idea of what people would like
to see in a music video. Most
people would like to some
comedy and a narrative story in a
video, something which I will look
to try and incorporate into my
music video.

12. Question 12: What do you think are
the greatest music videos of all time?
There were many different
responses to this question. I have
a list of different music videos that
I can look at and see what makes
them good, so that I can
incorporate the same techniques
into my music video.
