Questionnaire resultsIncludes graphs with every question and an

analysis of the graph.

For some of the questions I didn't receive as many answers as I would like as some skipped those questions. To get as many responses as possible, I will have to have more time beforehand, to give out the questionnaires to a larger and a variety of people.

Graphs for “Questionnaire for websites”

Question: Age

This pie chart shows what age range did the questionnaire and here the range is from 16-20 as it shows 100%. The other ages have a 0% response. This shows that my results from this questionnaire will be coming from one age range only. Because of this I will not have a range of results, making it difficult to create my website. However because my results came from teenagers, I will now know what they look for in a website and making them my target audience.

Question: Do you view music websites?

Only half of the public who filled out this questionnaire view music websites as the pie chart shows only 50% said “yes”. The other 50% said “no” showing that not every teenager views music websites. Because of these results it seems that the current music websites do not appeal to the public as much especially teenagers. So for my website, I have to make sure that the website is promoted or advertised so more people are aware of it and to make sure that everything on it is useful for the audience.

Question: If not, why?

To those who do not view music websites, I have asked them to explain why. From these results it shows that teenagers do not have time to view them and the current websites don’t have a wide range of genres for them. Therefore in my website I have to have a wide range of music genres so it suits the audience’s taste. Also I have to make sure that the website is easy and quick to use so they don’t have to spend a lot of time on the website and still get the information they are looking for. If it is for an artist website I will have to make sure that the information on the site is different and the site gives as much information as possible, otherwise if the same information can be found on a social network, audience might not use the website as much because they have access to it somewhere else.

Question: What do you expect from a website?

To make the website suitable for the audience, I have asked them to tell me what the expect from a website. From the chart it shows that the audience expect to see “both text and images” on the website. This is helpful because then the website will attract a larger audience as 100% said they expected both text and images. Also this option will give the audience a variety to look at on the website so overall it will suit to everyone’s needs.

Question: Do you like to see a lot of information on a music website?

In this pie chart it shows that 50% do like to see a lot of information on a website but also 50% don’t like to. Because of this, it will be difficult to choose how much information will be needed. Therefore I will be looking at existing websites and then compare them to see how much information a website would need.

Question: What exactly do you want the information to be about?

Here the results show exactly what the audience would want the information to be about on the website. This gives me an idea on what to include on the website so the audience gets what they want. However I will add additional information about the artist or music because then the audience will get as much information as they can from the site, making it easier for them.

Question: What colours do you expect to see on a music website?

Unfortunately I didn't receive many responses from this question therefore it will be difficult to make the website suit a range of people. On the other hand, the results I have gotten tells me that bright and vibrant colours are what teenagers prefer. If the website is for anyone older, basic colours will be useful. But because my questionnaire was filled out by 16-20 year olds only, my website will most likely be aimed at them, so vibrant colours will be needed. This is because it will be eye-catching and will persuade them to use the website.

Question: State your favourite music website

The results show that the audience view different types of music websites. Some look at the artists official site and others use actual music websites where they can get a range of music from. To get more information on what kind of music website I will be creating and will be the most suitable for my target audience, I will have to research into depth and look at existing products.

Question: Why is it your favourite website?

To find out more about what website they like and why, I asked them to explain why it is their favourite. This shows that many teenagers have different taste on what their favourite website is and because of this, I will have to make sure that the website produced will cover as many different sections of a website as possible.

Graphs for “Questionnaire for CD cover”

YesNo

Question: Do you purchase CDs?

Only 50% of the respondents said that they purchase CDs. This shows that only half of the audience like to buy CDs and to find out why some people don't like buying CDs I will have to ask them why. But as some people do buy them I want to know what attracts them into buying CDs so then my CD would be suitable for many people who like that specific genre.

Question: What is the reason for not purchasing CDs?

For people who don't purchase CDs I have asked them to explain why they don't and here it shows that the price can be a problem. Therefore I have to make sure that the CD that I produce will have a reasonable price. Other reason is that they are outdated, and this is because nowadays there are other ways to get music, for example through downloading so people might see it as a reason to not to buy a CD.

Question: How often do you purchase CDs in a month?

Even though some of the audience still purchase CDs, they don't buy them as often as before. This is shown by the graph that tells me 100% of respondents purchase only 1-3 CDs in month. Therefore when I am producing my CD cover I will have to make sure that my cover appeals to the audience so that there is more chance of them finding it interesting and purchasing it.

Question: How much would you spend on a CD?

The results show the price range that people will spend on CDs. This gives me an idea on how much people would expect the price to be for a CD. So I will try and make sure that the CD is in the right price range depending on the properties it has.

Question: What do you expect to find on a CD cover?

This graph shows that 100% of respondents prefer to find image with text on a CD cover. The results straight away tell me what the audience like and dislike, as the rest of the options got 0%. From this I now know that whatever genre is, there must be an image (preferably of the artist) and text with the title and/or the artist’s name.

Question: What is your favourite font style?

To find out what the audience’s favourite style is I have asked them to tell me so then I have a variety of options to pick from. I can use these on my CD cover depending on the genre and style. I have asked my respondents this question because I wanted to know what kind of style they prefer as this information will be useful into getting the audience to purchase the CD.

Question: What font size would be ideal for a CD cover?

I asked the audience what kind of font size they would prefer o a CD cover so then they have an input on the looks of the CD cover. I have done this because then there is more chance of them buying the CD. However the results show 50% for both “12” and “14” font sizes, showing that half of the people prefer one size to the other, making it difficult to choose which one. But because the sizes are similar, I am considering using the larger size for the title because this is the first piece of text that they will see. The smaller size could be used to the other pieces of text which will be in the insides of the cover.

Question: What are your favourite colours? They must be suitable to use for a CD cover.

These results show what colours the audience would prefer to see on the CD cover. The colour blue has been mentioned telling me that most of the respondents prefer this colour. So depending on what the genre is, I will try and use a shade of blue somewhere on the cover and making sure it also suits the genre as well. The colour has to suit the artist as well therefore I will have to look at existing products to see what the majority of colour used in different genre and type of artist.

Question : Do you like to see a continuous theme throughout the CD cover?

The bar chart shows that 100% of people like to see a continuous theme throughout the cover. Therefore I will have to make sure that my CD cover has a theme following. I can do this using similar colours, same typography, design and layout. By doing this, it will make the CD more appealing and will persuade more people into buying it because of its appearance.

Question: List your 2 favourite CD covers

I have asked for their favourite CD covers so then I can get a rough idea on what they like to see in a CD cover. By looking at these, it will give me ideas on what I would like my CD cover to look like. As I don't have many responses to this question, I will only have a small range of covers to look at. Therefore the my findings will be limited and it will be difficult to make the cover suit a variety of people.

Graphs for “Questionnaire on pop videos”

Question: Age

age 11-15age 16-20age 21-25age 26+

There is quit a big age range of people who have completed this questionnaire. This is useful because there will be a variety of videos that I can compare to, to find out what kind of pop video will be viewed the most. The pie chart shows that the majority of people who watch pop videos are “16-20”. Ages “26+”don’t watch pop videos as much which tells me that more young people watch videos. This could be because they are the main target audience. However that depends on who the artist is and the genre.

I have asked them if they watch pop videos to see exactly what percentage of people actually do. The bar chart shows that 70% of respondents do watch pop videos and only 30% don’t. This shows that the audience might not always enjoy watching videos, possibly because they might be only interested in a few.

The graph shows that most people roughly enjoy watching pop videos and no one either dislikes or thoroughly enjoys it. In order to find out exactly what they like, I will have to research into their favourite videos, most viewed videos etc and see what similarities there are. Then I will try and apply this to make pop video so then there will be more views and it will suit many people’s needs.

Question: What kind of pop videos do your prefer? Types of videos 1st 2nd 3rd

Narrative 3 4 0

The table shows that most of the audience likes either narrative or performance types of videos. Conceptual comes 3rd in ranking which shows that the audience don’t like when the song doesn’t link in with the video.

The popular type of genre is hip-hop/RnB. This tells me that most people like to have bass in their music and like to see narrative in their videos as this is one of the conventions of hip-hop/Rnb. Indie and Jazz is quite popular and because of this it shows that the audience like to listen to a variety of music genre. I will look into the conventions of hip-hop/RnB to make sure that my pop video suits the target audience’s wants.

This graph shows what parents and siblings like to listen to. I have asked this question to get a larger age range so then my video can try and be suitable for older people. Pop isn’t preferred by older people as it is shown in the graph, however younger people do enjoy this type of music. The graph shows that most of them like hip-hop/RnB as well therefore I don’t have to make many changes in making the video suitable for them and younger people.

Question: List your 3 favourite pop videos

Favourite pop videos

Nicki Minaj- Anaconda

A Great Big World ft Christina Aguilera- Say Something

Ella Henderson - Ghost

Ariana Grande- Break Free

Miley Cyrus- We Can’t Stop

Ariana Grande- Problem

Magic!- Rude

There is a range of favourite pop videos which is very useful because then I can compare these videos to each other and find similarities, in order to find out what many people like and don’t like. Most of these songs are current which shows that younger people are more up to date with pop videos. This could be because younger people are usually the target audience.

Question: When was the last time you watched a pop video?

Pop video last viewed Amount

Few days ago 3

A week ago 3

Few weeks ago 1

This table shows that most people watch pop videos a lot and are continuously watching videos. It shows that pop videos are also being produced a lot, in order to keep the audience entertained and to keep the artist popular. As younger people are being targeted at, artists release videos knowing that many of them will watch them and share them, making them popular. Therefore my video could possibly target younger people in order for it to be viewed a lot.

Question: What was the last pop video you watched?

Last pop video viewed:

Nicki Minaj- Anaconda

Jessie J- Bang Bang

Beyonce- Pretty Hurts

Beyonce- XO

Sia- Chandelier

Eminem- Guts over fear

John Legend- You & I

All of these pop videos have been released recently and this shows that the audience like to keep up to date with music. This list also shows a few different types of genres that the audience prefer, making it easier to find out what the audience would watch and expect to see in a video.

Question: How often do you watch a pop video in a week?

week 0-2

week 3-5

week 6-8

week 9+

0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4

This chart shows that the majority of people often watch “0-2” pop video in a week. This is a small amount and I will have to research and find out why this is. The audience could listen to music many times but only watch a video when the song is new and then only view it when the thoroughly enjoy the video.

Question: What is the reason for not watching pop videos?

Reason:

Don’t find them interesting.

Doesn’t make sense with the song.

Not a fan.

I have asked to explain why some people don’t like watching pop videos. The reasons show that some pop videos might not be suitable for the song or they just don’t particularly enjoy them. Therefore I will have to find out what they do enjoy and add this to my video and also try and avoid anything that could be seen as uninteresting.
