Findings from survey

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.

Toxic Analysis - Alfie

Toxic Analysis Lyrics The lyrics for the song Toxic establishes the point that Britney is now ready to move on from her teenage years and now is looking to show her more adult life as a pop star.  The lyrics to the song Toxic are filled with sexual remarks just to reinforce the idea of her as a sexual image. The lyrics are as follows: There’s no escape, I can’t wait I need a hit, baby give it to me You’re dangerous, I’m lovin’ it With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride You're toxic I'm slippin' under With a taste of the poison paradise Music Toxic is an example of pop music in the 90’s this involved high tempo beats that could be used as a dance track. This is the reason for the fast-paced music video Genre Due to the pop genre, that Toxic is this means that dance and movement has a high involvement in the video, the young target audience for the video are seeing Britney doing these famous dance moves and therefore they are becoming mor...

Todorov's Narrative Theory

There are 5 stages to a narrative (story) and Todorov states that every plot tends to follow said stages. These include: Equilibrium: The start of the narrative. Typically it shows a world with little to no disturbances and usually shows a happy beginning. Disruption: Then the plot takes a turn and there is a certain part of the narrative that ends up taking the story into disruption. Realisation of the Disruption: The characters in the narrative will then become aware of the disruption mentioned previously. They tend to take action or plan to take action as soon as they realise what is going on. Process of restoring the equilibrium: The plot then follows the main character(s) trying to combat the disturbance and they aim to restore the world to what it was (it's original equilibrium). Restored Equilibrium: At the end of the narrative the world is back to normal and normality can resume once more.

Evaluation 3

There is currently no feedback on our music video as well as the digipak and the website. The only communication we have with our audience is from a survey about music videos in general. We learnt that our main audience were teenagers that mostly all agreed that music videos made songs much better. This is good news for us, as we have picked a genre of song (hip-hop/rap) that generally appeals to a younger target audience Results also show that they thin the main purpose of a music video is to entertain, as a result, we have attempted to make the music video as entertaining as possible. We did this through trying to make it aesthetic as well as relatable. The survey also shows that people think aesthetics is also very important, therefore we tried to focus on some interesting shots in our music video to try and match what people think.  Results also indicate that our audience tend to enjoy both music videos with narrative and performance at the same time. As a...
