Summary
Question 1
RnB II
Indie I
Rap I
HipHop I
Grime I
Country
Pop II
Rock II
Other
As you can see above there were three genres that were equally popular with my audience. The three genres are Rap, Rock and Pop with all three getting two votes each. Joint in second place is Indie, Rap, HipHop and Grime with one vote each and the rest with no votes. From the information that i have gathered i have come to the conclusion that none of the genres by itself are far better than any other genre. so therefore i may choose a song that is a mixture of genres to make my music video attract a larger audience.
Question 2
Here are some of the most popular choices:
Rohanna - Rockstar 101
Katy B - On A Mission
Beyonce - Sweet Dreams
Question 3
Performance IIIII
Simple I
Abstract I
Range of locations I
Confident I
Outfits I
Atmosphere I
From the above we have a clear favourite with performance being the most liked thing in their favourite music video of all time. The rest are tied with one vote each. As people like to see performance in music videos, I will incorporate elements of performance in my music video as I want my music video to be the best it possibly can. Another important thing in my opinion is that I think the people performing have to be confident as it would increase the success rate of the music video.
Question 4
T.V IIIIII
Internet IIII
Music videos
Most people said they prefer to watch music videos on TV with internet being the second most popular. Personally if I were to show my music video I would put it on TV and on the internet. This is because on TV the audience is limited as I would only have a national audience and only people who watch the music channels the video will be shown. However if you put the music video on a site like youtube then the audience base goes from national to global and people can view the video over and over again. But on TV they cannot do this as other music videos will also be shown so you would have to wait for a particular video to come on.
Question 5
Good narrative IIIIII
Good lip sync
Number of locations I
Special effects III
Other
We have a clear favourite with good narrative taking 60% of the votes. Special effects get 30% while the number of locations gets 10%. When making my music video I have make sure it has a good narrative as this is very important as the audience see that the narrative has to be good for the music video to be successful. The audience also like to see special effects so I will adds special effect where necessary in my music video to gain some extra marks and also increase the enjoyment of the viewers. Another thing that I think is vital for a music video to work is the number of locations. Even though it was not very popular with the audience I think that if you don’t have enough different locations then it makes the music video boring and also you need a number of locations to get the good marks.
Question 6
Eminem IIII
Lady Gaga III
Michael Jackson III
Eminem is the most popular artist with the most votes just edging past Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson by one vote. This is very convenient because one of ideas I was thinking about was to do a eminem song. Eminem is know all over the world and if i make a music video for one of his songs it would easily attract a lot of people due to his popularity.
Question 7
Most if not all the music videos people chose where narrative music videos. That tells me that narrative music videos are popular with people and that I should do a narrative based video for my music video to attract the most viewers. Examples of music videos that were given are:
Take it of – Kesha
What goes around comes around – Justin Timberlake
Question 8
Good narrative IIII
Special Effects I
Imagination I
Performance II
Props I
Atmosphere I
Once again having a good narrative is vital for the music video to be a success as the audience are looking for a music video where scenes relate to the lyrics.
Question 9
Mtv Base IIII
The Box I
Kiss I
Mtv Rocks IIII
Mtv Base and Mtv Rocks are the clear winners with Four votes each. If I were to make a music video I would make sure that it plays on Mtv as this is where the majority of the audience watch music videos. So by making sure that it plays on Mtv Base and Mtv Rocks my music video would get viewed a lot and would have the best chance of being successful.
Question 10
1-5 I
6-10 IIIIII
11-15
16-20
Over 20 III
On average people watch 6-10 music videos a week. This is a good figure as there is a good chance that people would see my music video if it were to be shown on music channels and on the internet.
From the information that i have gathered from the questionnaire i have come to the conclusion that my music video must be narrative based as that is what the audience most like to see in music videos. I also have to appoint actors that are confident and can put in a good performance. Futhermore i need to make sure that i film in a number of locations so that my music video is not boring and keep the viewers at the edge of their seats.
