Questionnaire

We have created a questionnaire to find out what people think about Music Videos. In the questionnaire we have a wide variety of questions that will find out a lot of different things to do with music videos, by doing this we will be able to find out what different people think about different music videos and how they find there music videos.

Some of the interesting results of which we found were to do with the questionnaire was that every single person that we asked likes to watch the music video of the song they're listening to. This shows us the importance of a music video and that we will need to make it go with the song as it is important to do so. The next part of the questionnaire that we found to be interesting was where we asked the question 'Do you enjoy Music videos with special effects?' We found that the majority of our voters said no, this was intriguing to us as we would have thought in this modern day and age most people like seeing special effects incorporated into the videos to add more effect to the emotions they are trying to convey. After we got our results from our questionnaire we asked some of the people we handed them out too why they didn't like special effects and most of the people said that it was because they can relate to the videos more if they are done just with the camera and editing. This will be good for our video because it will also be done like this.

Another piece of information that we picked up from these questionnaires is that people like serious videos a lot more than funny videos, I can only imagine this is because funny videos can become a bit cringey if you can not relate whereas a serious video is usually made to be easily related too. Our video is going to be made to look quite serious as he has just gone through quite a serious break-up this will hopefully be made to look easily related too.

The final part of the questionnaire that we found very interesting was to do with what happens within the music video, we asked whether people enjoy music videos that have more of the band, the concept or the narrrative or all three. The most of the votes with all three of the options, this will be purely because a lot of people like to see the band and what the song is all about.

By doing this I have been able to find a lot of things out about the audiences that we were targetting, after looking through all of there answers we will be looking to cater for all of the majority voters. We have already been doing a lot of the stuf of which they asked for so there wont be much of a change happenning but we will be able to please more people after doing this questionnaire.

  1. Your conclusion may as well say 'We did a questionnaire because it was on the checklist of things to do'. Firstly, I have no idea how many people you asked. Claiming that 'every single person that we asked likes to watch the music video of the song they're listening to' loses a lot of its power if you only asked two people.

    Secondly (and this is directly linked to my first point), the presentation of your answers is unclear and far too general (not to mention weirdly aligned, sort that out).

    Your overall conclusion is the cherry on top: you claim to 'have been able to find a lot of things' (you haven't), and then state you'll be able to please more people now (how exactly does knowing if they use Myspace, MSN or Youtube going to allow you to satisfy them better?) but then state that you were already 'doing a lot of the stuf'(sic), which only makes me question what the point of this questionnaire was in the first place!

    This post needs a LOT of attention.
