Findings from survey

By
11 people have taken part in our survey, our results show the following.

Our average age that has taken part are 11 to 18 year olds (81.82%) and 64% of participants are female where 36% were male.
The most popular genre of music among these participants was rock music with just over 1/3rd of participants voting for this genre.
When asked what participants gained from music videos. The most popular gratification was entertainment, with 90% of participants voting in favour of this.
The popular opinion is that music videos do not need to be expensive in order to be expensive, this is useful for us as we won't have a high budget to use.
The results of the survey show that people tend to think that camerawork and aesthetics are the most important thing to make a music video good. Also the survey results indicate that making the music video based off the lyrics really depends on the song rather than doing it all the time.
When it comes to what kind of music video to make (narrative or performance) the response was more in favour of a narrative. However when given the option for both, that tended to be the more popular option.
The last question was asking whether they though music videos made songs more popular. The response was overwhelmingly in favour that they do with 81% of participants agreeing.

Representation in music video - Sexuality

By
Representation in music videos can vary in different ways due to many factors, these could include target audience, genre and many more. This then prevents there being a set way in which different parts of society are represented in music videos. However, there is a general consensus in music videos about how sexuality is represented. In most music videos in this modern era they tend to not cover a lot of relationships other than a heterosexual sexualty due to this being the main feelings of their target audience. many music videos play upon the feelings of their audiences or show a relationship that is heterosexual breaking up or forming. this is a very popular type of show to be in a music video due to the amount of people that can relate to this. Drake plays a large part in this by having several of his music videos having this role play and storyline in it. This then allows his audience to relate to the situations that Drake puts himself and others into on his music videos. One...

Favourite music video

By
Thriller by Micheal Jackson is a favourite music video for myself and will. This is due to the iconic story line and being so ahead of its time when the video was first created. Michael Jackson's Thriller was thought to be one of the pivotal music videos that inspired other music videos to have strong narratives and actually have video content in the music video which is purely narrative and not just being a video for the music from start to finish e.g. LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem. The reason why this music video is very effective is the fact that it goes out the way to go against the codes and conventions of music videos by having the music video and narrative lasting for a very long 13 minutes instead of the average 3 minutes. This allows the music video to go outside of the codes and conventions of common music videos in this current stage in time, further interesting myself and will as the music video stand out from the rest and makes it unique.

Representations in Music Videos - Ethnicity

By
Representation in music videos can vary in different ways due to many factors, these could include target audience, genre and many more. This then prevents there being a set way in which different parts of society are represented in music videos. However, there is a general consensus in music videos about how ethnicity is represented. White people are represented in music videos in a number of different ways. They are shown to be the main focus and mostly the 'good guys' also they can be shown to be having a good time and not in any danger so therefore a good influence. However this can be argued to not be the case in some cases due to the rock and punk genre, some may argue this is true in the rap genre as well. Black people are commonly shown to be violent and not an overall good influences for their audience. They are seen as the more boisterous and aggressive in the music video media. For example in Bugzy Malone's track 'I Suggest' he is shown to be in pris...
