Audience Research - Music Video Questionnaire

Before I continued with further production planning I felt that it would be beneficial for me to carry out some audience research in order to find out the views of my peers about existing products.
My group and I created a simple questionnaire consisting of five short questions that allowed for a mixture of open and close answers. By choosing to carry out audience research It was able to help me establish my target audience in relation to gender as when compared the females who completed the questionnaire provided slightly different answers to the males. 
Below is a copy of the questions that I chose to ask.


Each question that I decided to ask was set in order to provide me with the specific information that I needed in order to benefit my final production. Initially I felt that specifying age and gender was relevant as it would help me to establish a demographic and a target audience which could potentially influence the way in I will market final product when paired with my ancillary tasks. All the people asked said that they felt that music videos were very important with in the music industry and most either answered sometimes or often when asked if they regularly watch music videos. Some answers to question three involved reference to song choice, if they enjoyed the song then that would draw them in to the music video. This factor is down to personal taste however my group and I feel that are song choice would appeal to many people who enjoy a mix of music genres. The majority of answers to what appealed to people when watching music videos was focused around the creative aspects of the videos and if it had a interesting narrative then they would be more likely to want to watch it. 

When asking what kept people engaged I found that many responses included reference to appealing visuals and a range of imagery, this finding is very important to my final product as I want to be able to create a product that keeps people's attention and wanting to watch on. In order to prevent people clicking away or becoming bored I will make sure that the visuals are aesthetically pleasing which will help keep peoples concentration throughout the duration of my piece. 
I feel that my music video would appeal to females more that males as when asking about story line more girls felt it important that music videos had one than boys did, this is relevant to my final product as my group and have a narrative and story line to our product.
