This is a slideshow to show the results of a questionnaire that I asked 10 people to fill out regarding media and music videos. This is for my media A2 coursework. Enjoy

1. Results of the
Questionnaire
By Dan Opie
For his A2 Media Studies Blog
http://danielopie.blogspot.co.uk/

2. 1. What gender are you?
Of the total 10 participants I got
to fill out the questionnaire 6
were female and 4 were male.
I believe this is a varied enough
proportion of participants
gender to achieve unbiased
results.

3. 2. What age are you?
I made sure that
there was a wide
variation of ages
between my
participants because
I wanted young
peoples views since
they were likely to be
more my target
audience but I also
wanted some older
participants data as I
want my video to
appeal to as many
people as possible.

4. 3. How often do you watch music videos?
It is obvious from
these results that the
majority of my
participants would
watch a music video
at least once a week.
This tells us that at
the moment music
videos are a very
large part of their life
and they have
watched many videos
so their data should
be quite useful.

5. 4. What devices do you most usually watch
music videos on?
0 4
1
There is a very diverse range of media
platforms that my participants are
using so I will not need to make any
special adjustments to my video in
order for it to suit a certain screen,
but it must be viewable in many
different technologies.

6. 5. What is your favourite music genre?
It is clear from this
graph that the
majority of people I
used in this
questionnaire prefer
Electro/Dubstep
music and Pop
music. Since my
participants
represent the
greater public I will
most likely chose a
song from one of
these categories to
make a video as
these are the two
most popular.
The majority of
people like
Electro/Dubstep.
And it is my own
favourite music
genre, so I will
have most interest
and experience in
it. Both of these
factors make it
most likely that I
will chose this
genre out of the
two most popular
from the graph.

7. 6. What type of music video do you like?
In order for this
question to be
conclusive I showed
each of my participants
an example of
conceptual,
performance and
narrative videos so they
knew which each one
was. The results here
show that conceptual
music videos are the
most popular music
videos to watch
probably because they
are interesting, unusual
and keep the audiences
attention.

8. 7. What type of things do you like to see in a
music video?
Hashtags &
Descriptions

9. 8. Do you prefer music videos in black and
white or colour?
A huge preference for music
videos in colour was found
here. This was an especially
useful result for me as I was
having a difficult time
deciding if my video should
be black & white or colour.
Now I know that to appeal to
the wider audience a colour
video would be best.

10. 9. Do you like special effects and editing
techniques used in music videos?
6 4
Although this is a
positive result for
using special effects
and editing
techniques the
results are spread
evenly enough for me
to conclude that
using them or not will
not affect the videos
appeal to the wider
audience too much.
It is likely that I will
use editing
techniques in my
video. One because
using the software I
have at school makes
it easier and does
make a hugely
positive impact on my
videos quality in my
opinion, but also
because it is still the
most popular option
in this questionnaire.
