Audience research

I have done a poll on my blog to get more people to do it. i sent it in a message to my close friends and also wrote it as a status to get others i have on facebook to fill it in. The more people i could get to do it the better my research would be.

These images above show that i have asked people to fill in my poll over the social networking website, facebook.

After getting my feed back from my poll, I made graphs to show my results.

This graph shows that all the people that did my poll are ages 16-19. This shows me that this is the target audience for my video and this is who i am aiming it at.

This shows me that it is more for a female target audience as only 1/8 males voted in my poll.

This pie chart shows me that the majority of people are a big fan of acoustic and indie music as it is the most popular in the poll. Folk music seemed the most unpopular following mainstream. As i wanted to do something my audience would like i chose an indie song as this seemed very popular.

I wanted to know what subject people were most interested in as i think that people who are most interested in creative subject would be a lot more likely to enjoy music and watch music videos in their subjects such as media. I found out that the majority of people were interested in creative subjects so it gave me the impression that i was targeting the right people.

I wanted to find out what people thought made a music video successful so then i could focus on this to make it look like an actual music video. 1/3 of the votes said the content of the video is what made it successful. This then let me know that what i filmed must be useful as this was the most important.

Now knowing that the content of the video is important i wanted to know what type they preferred. It came out that they liked performance in a music video so i figured that this must be compulsory in mine as i want my audience to enjoy it.
