Music Video {Survey and Results}

Creating the Survey:
Connie decided to take it upon herself to create a survey for our group as myself and Emily thought that Connie would be better at creating the survey and we would be better at getting people to answer it. 

This survey was creating in order for us to find information regarding the key elements of a music video from the influences of others, this survey allowed us to see the importance of target audience and what an audience would like to see within a music video.


The questions we decided to ask our audience, were questions that would help our group during the process  and give us a better insight of what an audience wants. I have listed below the results from our survey, we have had mixed reactions towards what an audience wants but the majority of our audience are 16-20.


Results from our Survey:



Q1 - Everybody who took our survey watch Music Videos on YouTube which is a popular site for many artists due to it being a free platform to upload to as well as a free website to view.


Q2 - The results for this question are very mixed due to genre being a broad question and the music industry offering a variety; however, the majority prefer Indie music. Luckily, the music we have chose for our music video fit the indie genre.


Q3 - The results for this question vary, but most of our audience prefer Narrative music videos which is the approach our group want to take for our music video, so the results from this question work in our favour.



Q4 - The results for this question were tied, 4 people prefer the artist making an appearance in their music video as well as 4 people don't prefer having the artist make an appearance in their music video. This question was added just to see what an audience likes to see within a music video, our music video won't have the artist making an appearance due to us only being students and not having a relationship with The Wombats.


Q5 - This question is linked to Q4 as we asked our audience the reasoning behind why they chose the answer they did in Q4, most people said they like to have the artist within the music video because it allows them as an audience to create a relationship with the artist and get an insight into the artist visuals. 



Q6 - The results from this question show that most people prefer it when the music videos connects to the lyrics of the song; this is an approach our group are taking we are trying to link the lyrics to the visuals of our music video in order to create a narrative storyline.



Q7 - This question is linked to Q6 as we asked our audience the reasoning behind why they chose the answer they did in Q6, most people said that having the lyrics connect with the music video allows the audience to relate more to the music video as well as the lyrics creating an outline for narrative.


Q8 - The results from this question shows that editing is a very important component for music videos, the editing within our music video will be very important as we need to cut our footage to the lyrics and beats of the song.



Q9 - This question is linked to Q8 as we asked our audience the reasoning behind why they chose the answer they did in Q8, our audience say that the editing helps the video to compliment or contradict the lyrics within the music video to connote meaning.



Q10 - This question shows that the majority of our audience are 16-20. 

Overall, the results from our survey will be used in order to create the best music video for our audience as well as seeing what techniques people like to see within a music video and if lyrics should connect with the music video or if it should be the editing that is important component towards the making of a music video.
