Questionnaire Results

We created a questionnaire to receive come feedback of the music industry.

This is the questionnaire which we created:

Overall we got 24 people to fill out our questionnaire's from within our college and by members of the public to widen our range of answers.

Our Feedback
Through getting 24 questionnaires done we gathered a lot of research about the music industry and what the audiences we questioned are similar or different, our feedback is below.

1. In this pie chart it shows the different genders of the people who answered the questionnaire which we created. This shows that we asked people from the different genders which gives a larger research audience.

On this pie chart you can see that we had more female answer our questionnaire out of the 24 people. This shows that we had 16 females answer our questionnaire and 8 male. This shows that our results are mainly based from the opinion of women as more than half of the people who answered our questionnaires was female.

I believe that my groups results would have been more fair and a clearer understanding if we had more male's answer our questionnaire and to also widen our research.

2. Within this graph you can see the results showing the different age ranges we targeted to get feedback from. This shows that we asked people of  different variety of age ranges.

 

In this graph you can see the different ages of the people who answered our questionnaire, from within our results you can see in the graph above that our main audience from the people who answered our questionnaires was within the age range of 17-20 years old. From our 30 questionnaires 20 of our replies was from within the age range of 17 to 20 which shows the high majority of the age range. 

Due to this we have decided to target our music video of the age range of 17-20 years old because of the high amount of applicants was within this age range which will show that the majority of the results will be from this age range. I believe that this would have been better if we asked more people over the age of 20 to get a wider set of opinions of the music industry through different generations. 

3. On this pie chart you can see the amount of people that enjoy reading music magazines.

Within the pie chart you cans see the difference of people who enjoy reading music magazines and people who don't like reading music magazines. Within these results you can see that 19 people said that they do not enjoy reading music magazines, this had a negative affect on our questionnaire research as we was not gaining information from people who enjoy and have experience from reading music magazines.

I believe that this set of results would have been better if we asked more people who like music magazines as we would have been able to receive more names of music magazines to compare with each other to achieve a successful magazine cover for our music video.

4. Within this graph you can see the different types of music genres that have been chosen of which the members of our questionnaire audience have selected of ones which they enjoy.

Within this graph shows some the different options of genre of music which is currently popular by members of the public.Within out results we had 19 people select Rap as a genre which they liked. This was beneficial to us as we have chosen to study the rap industry, by 19 people selecting rap as a preferred music genre we was able to create an understanding of what the rest of the questionnaire said, as the final two questions are based within the rap industry so it benefited us with the people who answered our questionnaires to have previous knowledge of the genre.

Only three people chose 'Other' and they stated which other genres of music they like, they was Disney, Grime and Musicals. We gave this option within the questionnaire as we was not able to list all the genres within the music industry so we used the most popular and well-known genres within our questionnaire.


5.  Within this pie chart you can see the amount of people who prefer mainstream rap over alternative rap.

On this pie chart you can see the amount of people who prefer mainstream rap or alternative rap of the people who answered my groups questionnaire, above you can see that more than half of the people who selected rap as one of the music genres which they like, 14 our of the 24 people who selected rap as a genre which they like. This shows that more people who like rap prefer the mainstream rap such as Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Tech N9ne. 

Due to the results on this question from our questionnaire we have decided as a group to create a mainstream music video as this was rated higher than a alternative rap song like Ed Sheeran has created within his song 'You Need Me I Don't Need You'. 

6. On this pie chart you can see which layouts the members of the audience which is research for our music magazine cover which we are going to be creating for our music video.

On this pie chart you can see that from the different layouts below you can see that more than three quarters of the people who answered our questions believed that the first option on the left was a better layout, so due to this when it comes to us making our magazine page, I believe this one was selected more due to the nicer display and the less writing as this looks more appealing to read. On this question we also attached a "Why?" some of the responses we got was - 

"Looks more professional"

"The first one as it's more eye popping"

"Better lay out"

"Looks more sophisticated"

"The first because it has a quote that catches the eye and stands out more"

"Looks more modern"

This shows that the members of our audience who answered our questionnaire which means that when we make the music magazine we will use this layout which has been used in the first layout choice which was offered to the audience.

7. Within this graph you can see the different features which people can rate themselves, this enabled us to select our target audience for our rap music video to meet the codes and conventions of our target audience.

Within this graph you can see how the people who answered our questionnaires have described  themselves through the different options we did. The point of this question within the results was to find our LifeMatrix to be able to target our music video T the right age range. Due to these results we have chosen to study the Tribe Wired and Fun/Atics as these fall into the categories within the graph which was highly rated on (See Audience Research post for further information).


8. Within this pie chart you can see the if they would recommend listening to rap to others such as their family and friends.

In this pie chart you can see the amount of people would recommend the rap industry to their friends which would promote the rap industry. Through our research 13 people said yes and 6 people said no which shows that more people within our results would recommend the industry. This fits in well with the previous results of the preferred genres as 19 people had selected rap as a genre of music which they like which also shows that 6 people would not recommend it to a friend.

9. On this graph you can see what our audience want to see within a rap music video to meet the requirements of the public to en-order our music video is something members of the public will like.

In the graph above you can see that all selections offered for 'What do you want to happen to in a rap music video?' was selected but Storytelling had the highest amount of people select it with 13 out of 30. Through this in our music video which we will be creating we will involve a story behind the music video to meet the expectations from our audience. 

10. On this graph you can see the locations which the members of audience we selected to fill in our questionnaires believed would be a good location for a rap music video.

In this graph you can see the locations of where our audience believe the music video should be set by choosing areas which they would like to see a music video being filmed. Within our research 12 people answered City (Inner City), due to this we are going to have a city theme to our music video. 

11. On this graph you can see how we plan on making our artist look through looking at the opinions of the audience to choose our main artist and how they should look.

In this graph you can see how the audience wish to see the main artist within a rap music video, the highest selections was good looking and normal everyday person, so by this we are going to have a good looking person as the main artist within our music video and also make them look like an everyday person. I believe this will be good as it is something different within the rap music industry as this would be original as not a lot of rap music videos involve a normal everyday looking person as usually they are dressed in baggy items of clothing and often hats.


Though the process of our questionnaires we have chosen too target the age range of 17- 20 to achieve the highest amount of success for the music video. Through our questionnaires we have also decided to work with mainstream rap as this was what was rated upon higher out of mainstream rap and alternative rap as this will reach our target audience better than alternative rap. As a group we have also made some decisions based on the results from the questionnaire  as due to more people selecting the first layout of the options that we have chosen we will be making our magazine design by using a similar layout to meet the layout that was selected to meet the requirements for our target audience.
