Audience Research Evaluation
The first question I asked my audience was of what gender they were of. I made the questionnaire equal by having 10 female’s and 10 male’s this way I would have a clearer idea of the separation by gender if any.
The second question I asked was on which genre/style of music they preferred listening too. Most popular was R&B second was rock then dance and last indie. I was quite surprised by these results as I imagined indie to be a lot higher then rock music but R&B been first did not surprise me when it was most popular.
My third question was if they preferred watching a music video with or without live footage of the band (voyeuristic pleasure). A lot more people answer yes they would prefer to see the band on the video set. I think this is down to the young adults wanting to take after/ replica their favourite bands.
The fourth question I asked was did they prefer a music video with or without narrative structure. The results to this question were quite close but mostly said with a narrative structure which I was surprised at because modern music videos do not normally have a clear narrative structure to them.
My last question was what they would prefer to see in a music video they were watching. I gave them a choice of 4 settings: dancing, Band playing, Beach or Clubbing. The most popular choice was band playing, then clubbing next dancing then finally a beach setting.
These results didn’t really surprise me because of the results from my third question.

Location
first shoot - Monday 21st of january, 1pm
second shoot- 17th of March, 1pm
I had to choose my location very carefully. In the end i chose Bridlington beach because i knew that in the days during the week when i was filming it wouldnt be as busy compared to a weekend also if i chose a more comercial place such as Scarborough it would have been too busy to film on the beach during the day and even on the night aswel.
I wanted to create a happy/fun mood with my video and the lighting made this clearly possible. It was a bright day the second time i filmed so it made this happy/fun mood makeable. All the shots were taken on Bridlington beach.

My Music Video Synopsis
Music video/ story board ideas
Located on a beach using five or six characters. I looked at the music video Faunts ‘M4’ because it was filmed on a beach which is what I want to do for my music video. I got some good ideas of the camera shots for my music video from this one because it used a wide range of camera shots and fast paced editing. I don’t want to use shots that last longer then 20 seconds because they will be too long for my synchronization to go with the beat of my song. I wanted to try and write the lyrics of the chorus to my song in the sand but this will be hard to get the song and timing right in with the beats of the song while writing in the sand. The music video by Coldplay ‘Yellow’ was also very helpful because it was filmed on a beach in Liverpool and used lots of weather shots all the way through the music video which looked very effective. There is a main character in the ‘yellow’ music video too which is what I would like to include in my video but with a few more characters. I want to start my music video off with an extreme close up of a girls eye and slowly zoom out to make sure you know that the character is on a beach by filming the sea in the background. My music video will not include voyeuristic pleasure because I am not having characters/artists singing or miming anything in the music video and would rather have a video which has so narrative structure because my audience research showed that that was the most liked type of music video. My music video will be a bit like a short film but with no narrative structure to it.
