The document summarizes the results of a survey about music video preferences. It found that hip hop and R&B were the most popular genres among the Asian respondents. Visual art was the most popular element in a music video, followed by narrative. The majority said the location of shooting a music video doesn't matter and that music videos can change their opinion of a song.

These results shows that we had used
a sample size of 40 people. 50% of our
respondents were males and 50% were
females. We chose this proportion
because our target audience consists of
both males and females. Janay, the
only female in our group, received
results mostly from females. This was
helpful as it helped to bring the total
results to be 50/50 between males and
females as Robert’s results were mostly
from males.

Genres Not Mentioned
Our results show us that by far, our sample’s most popular genre was Hip-Hop and
RnB. The reason for this could be because the majority of our respondents were
Asian and they tend to typically favour these genres compared to the rest of the other
genres. Other genres, like Rock, Electronic Dubstep and Pop were fairly at
consistent levels. These tend to be favoured mostly by White males and females.
Folk music was the least popular, mostly likely because it is most favoured by older
people but only 2 people who were +41 participated in the survey. This however may
be not important as they are not particularly our target audience. A few genres that
were not given mention as selections were bought up by respondants like Regge,
Bashment and Metal

Visual Art was the most popular option, with narrative being second. Performance
was the second least popular option. This was surprising as most big budget music
videos (for example Lady Gaga and Rihanna) are performance based music videos,
with some narrative playing a part.

The majority answered that a music did change their opinion of a song because of a
music video. This is interesting as Pop music is often associated with fancy and big
budget music videos, yet in our survey, this was the least popular genre. Therefore,
perhaps the music industry relies on the music video, rather than the actual song, to
get a single high the singles chart.
The majority had responded
by saying the it doesn’t
necessarily matter on where a
music video should be shot.
Perhaps indicating that it is
more so the creativity of the
music video that keeps the
audience watching.
