Questionaire

Questionnaires

Before conducting my audience research I had to discover who my genre’s target audience were. I found this out by using the media resource,” MySpace”, by looking at the band’s webpage and viewing fans profiles to find out the age groups. I then targeted 15-17 year olds in my questionnaires as I found that this was the age group which listened to this style of music most frequently.

Here is the questionnaire I created and handed out in order to gain an understanding of what my target audience wanted and expected in a music video.
