We did a questionnaire to get ideas of what people expect from a good music promo. Are questions are closed questions so that we could get some graphs up and look at our results. It contained questions on location, there preferred genre of music and there age range. It contained questions on location, there preferred genre of music and there age range. We showed our chosen track to the class and they filled out the questionnaire. We also took our questionnaire home to give it to people at different ages so we had a larger demographic. This audience research was important as we could see what people wanted to see and expected from our chosen song.
Questionnaire
1: How old are you?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2: What’s your favourite music genre?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
3: What gender are you?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
4: Do you think narrative (a story) is important in a music video?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
5: Do you think performance (seeing the band play) in a music video is important?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
6: What do you expect to see in a rock video?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
7: Does music have to have a link to the song and its lyrics to be a good music video?

The questionnaire that we used to gather the information that we felt was necessary research contained questions surrounding the three products that we had to complete, enabling us to know what the audience looks for in the product, so we can meet the audience’s needs.
My results are shown in graphs below; from these results, I can see that their needs to be quite a few shots of the band within the music video, and the video needs a fairly strong narrative to keep the audience interested. The music genre of song we chose tends to fit with the audience’s opinion well so therefore our song should be reasonably appealing to many different people.
After finishing our promo we uploaded it to the popular social networking site facebook”, and the video site you tube. Uploading our video to Facebook meant that our friends and family members could see, play and comment on the video, and uploading to you tube meant strangers could do the same.
We have also filmed people from our class to get audience feedback, I think this is really useful to do to get good and useful information because these are students and teachers of media so they know what to look for and don’t give us constructive points, rather than a ‘’well done this is really good’’. We found that the filmed audience feedback was very valuable to us and that we even changed the promo because of some influential comments by some of our peers and one of our teachers.
Here is some of our audience feedback that we filmed, we found this very beneficial for us. These are just some screen grabs of our feedback.
