Audience research - Questionaire

Above is a screen shot showing the website we used to make a questionaire for our audience research. We believe audience research is very important. This is because gathering information from our audience through the use of a questionaire will enable us to receive their opinion on music videos and therefore enable us to establish our targeted audience for our specific song.

This questionaire will be shared on facebook for people to fill out. Once we get responses, it will allow us to gather our information together and analyse the data gathered.

Here is a link to our questionnaire:

Research on music videos

We had ideas of filming many different people from all ages singing along to the song. We aim to make the video as upbeat and happy as possible. One music video which influnced us is 'Happy' by Pharell Williams. 

Below is the music video of 'Happy'

This music video is not just set in the studio and it has many different scenes. It involves many different people from all ages and ethnicities singing and dancing to the song. This enables us to have a more open target audience as it is including a variety of the public. With many different people involved, we believe it will make our music video more interesting as it isnt just focused on the main singer. 

Research on music videos

In my first meeting with my team partner, we came up with many ideas of songs. Initially, we wanted to choose a chart song which everyone would know. However, we felt as though this could be difficult to do a music video for as its a song with such a high reputation. 

We then came up with a different idea. Our latest idea is to choose an old classic song but one which many people would know. One of the songs we came up with was 'Mambo no.5'. This is because it is a very upbeat song. We also brainstormed 'wake me up before you go go' and 'Dancing in the moon light' as well as 'Hey ya'. These are all very old songs but we believe they are very well known from all ages. 

Out of these song ideas, we chose 'hey ya'. This song is very upbeat and is well known by many. 

This music video focuses on the bands performance.we ad ideas of filming many different people from all ages singing along to the song. We aim to make the video a upbeat and happy as possible.
