Methods
Primary Research


This is the personal collection of data which
  does not already exist.

This new information may lead to conclusions
  about genre, audience, stereotypes and
  themes.
Advantages – answers cannot always
 be found on the internet or books.
 You can personally test the success of
 a music video. Reliable as it is
 collected personally. Appropriate to
 the specific time and place.

Disadvantages – influential bias is hard
 to avoid. Can be expensive and time
 consuming.
Secondary Research


 This is a summary and collection of existing
   research in order to take advantage of
   previous examples – using other people’s
   research in your own work if appropriate.
Advantages – proven success.
 Tend to be reliable.
 Low cost.

Disadvantages – need to be careful about
 which websites are selected (e.g.
 Wikipedia). May not be able to gather
 specific information as the research may not
 have previously been carried out.
Qualitative Research



 This is in depth research into a small
  group of people who have strong
  views on the subject matter
Advantages – can gain a wide understanding
 of the topic

Disadvantages – it can be hard to avoid bias
 from the researcher's point of view
Quantitative
   Research


This is collecting an overall view on a
 subject in order to identify a pattern
 or trend
Advantages – Accurate
results from a wide
 range of respondents.
Avoids researcher bias.

Disadvantages – Limiter numerical results so
do not provide any explanations or
reasoning
I will use...
A mixture of all four research methods in
   order to collect a range of accurate and
   reliable results.
I am planning to conduct a questionnaire
   for music fans, an interview with the
   artist, and compare previous students’
   work as well as existing music videos
   from within the genre.
