1. I carried out a questionnaire as part of my initial research to see what music people liked and what they liked to see in music videos. <br />Here are the questions I asked within my questionnaire:<br />Questionnaire for initial research <br />Are you male or female?<br />Male Female <br />What is your favourite genre of music?<br />Pop RnB Indie Rock Dance Other<br />Who would you say is your favourite artist/ band?<br />Own choice <br />What do you like to see in a music video?<br />Own choice<br />What is your favourite music video?<br />Own choice<br />Where do you view music videos?<br />Youtube Music Channels General Tv <br />Do you listen to the music that is just in the charts or buy albums and listen to content that is not released? <br />I sent the questionnaire by email as I felt that people would respond quicker.<br />I asked 30 people to carry out my survey. I tried to ask as many girls as boys to make my results reasonably fair. <br />Male 15 <br />Female 15 <br />Pop 12R n B 5<br />Indie 5Rock 2Dance 6 Other 0<br />Everyone gave me all different feed back on his or her favorite artist/group. I collected a variety of them together, enabling me to have a lot of different variety of artists to look into their types of music and music videos to see what is so appealing about them. <br />The feedback I mainly got from ‘what people like to see within a music video’ was elements mainly such as:<br />Good and interesting dance routinesmany shots of the group/artistA storyline that fits with the lyrics however many people did vote that they liked the video to be quite random and that when the video has no link it makes it worthwhile to watch! People voted that they like Fancy costumes and loads of props <br />These were the results that cropped up the most therefore I narrowed them down to the above list in order to plant them in the back of my mind in order to know that I will attract an audience! <br />When asked ‘What is your favourite music video’ once again I got a wide variety of answers back. However this was what I was aiming for as to get myself some inspiration for my own music video I wanted to study a list of videos that people like to watch. This will enable me to plant some ideas in my head. <br />When I asked ‘ Where do you view your music videos?”<br />Youtube – 18 people said they used Youtube to view music videos<br />Music Channels – 10 people said they watch Music Channels to view music videos<br />Other Websites/General TV (other) – 2 people <br />I found that many people said they just listen to music that’s in the charts and been released by artists, not so many people buy albums to find songs produced by artists that may not be released<br />Chart music mainly -19Buy albums to listen to a variety of songs from artists – 11 <br />
