2. 15 out of 20 people who took my survey were female, this
shows that pop music is more targeted at females than males
as they showed more interest it taking the survey than males.
This helps me so that when I do my pop music video that I need
to mainly focus on addressing and making the music video
appealing to females instead of males.
WHAT IS YOUR GENDER?
3. For my survey I asked especially for people of teen and young
adults age to take part in completing it. The age from the
participants ranged between 15-22. This is the age range that I
am aiming my music video at, this is why it is very important to
get the views of people in that bracket and what they like and
don’t so I can create a conventional piece of work.
WHAT IS YOUR AGE?
4. I needed to find out what the people in my target audience like
doing in their free time, this will help me with creating the right
mise en scene and helping to make my music video more
conventional by making apply more to my target audience. I
found out that them most likely things/ interests they have is to
go out and see friends, go to the cinema and going shopping. To
these people it is important to them to look fashionable and to
have nice hair and ails, this shows they have high maintenance
when it comes to personal hygiene.
This shows that my target audience are typical stereotypical
teenage girl, by having a social life, shopping, doing hair and
nails.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES/INTERESTS
5. All 20 people that filled in my survey said that they listened to
pop music daily, this shows me that the results given from
these individuals are valid information as they listen and watch
pop music daily then they know what they are talking about
when they talk about conventions. Therefore their views and
opinions are valid and should be taken into consideration.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU LISTEN TO POP
MUSIC
6. The answers I got consists of, fashionable clothes, nice hair,
party themed, feminine colours such as pink and white and the
like to see a narrative throughout, this question is very useful
for my research in to my target audience as it allows me to have
a guideline on the things that I need to include in my pop music
video, Here is a screen shot of the most common answers I got:
WHAT CONVENTIONS DO YOU THINK
SHOULD BE IN A POP MUSIC VIDEO?
7. For this I asked them what they typically preferred according to
the artists involved in the music and video, this will help me
decide what type of song to do and help me sort out the kind of
artists I need to role play in the video
DO YOU PREFER…
8. For this all the answers I got from this were between 3-4
minutes long, this will help me as now I know that my music
video needs to be between this length to make it conventional.
This will help me to be able to plan what needs to be in my
video and will help me to be able to plan the lengths of what I
need to make sure that it fits the time bracket.
HOW LONG SHOULD A POP MUSIC VIDEO
BE?
9. For this the answers I received were either one direction and
little mix, the reasoning for these are that one direction mainly
do narrative music videos, this means that if I choose to do
boys as the artists in my music video I need to make it narrative
to make to appealing.
The reasoning for the target audience liking little mix is that
they like the dancing and the party outlook he portray about
life, they also like looking at the types of clothes they wear as
they see these girls as fashion icons, this tells me if I choose
girls for my music video I need to make sure they look
fashionable.

POP MUSIC VIDEO? AND WHY?
