Target Audience Research

 As part of my audience research I created a survey on 'survey monkey' and sent it to family and friends of the age demographic in the given brief (18-34 year olds) this was to find out what my target audience expects from a music video and what type of music genre and artists my consumers would enjoy. 

Here are some of the  questions and results...







From these results I gathered that the majority of my audience and consumers are of the  24-34 age group. I also learnt that R&B and soul was the leading genre of choice which has influenced my music genre choice for my chosen song , in turn with this I also figured that my audience also enjoy music videos with a narrative behind it , therefore I need to make a video with a constructed story line.
Following those who clicked option 'No' on ' Do you enjoy watching music videos?' I had a following question asking for a reason why , with some answers of - ' women are too overly sexualised'  and ' there's too much randoms things going on with not correlation to the music'
- This helped me because now I know what my audience dislike to see in a music video.

Another question on my survey was ' who is your favourite artist?' 
- the answers ranged from main stream artists such as Sam Smith Beyonce , A Boggie Wit da hoodie , Roddy Rich and Lil Durk to more independent artists from niche genre such as Sticky Fingers and The Goonies

    Excellent! You now need to extend this to the magazine products too - remember that this has equal importance to the music video.

Front Page & Double page semiotic analysis   The first noticeable aspect of the front page is the aesthetically pleasing contrast of colours , with the black and white image of Kate Moss taking up the entirety of the page and the bright Pink masthead and white text. The image of Kate Moss indicates that this magazine is high end and mainstream as Kate Moss is an incredibly famous fashion model who is recognisable globally. As an audience we can see that this issue is special and celebratory through the icon of 25 and the text explaining it's an anniversary , perhaps explaining the appearance of Kate Moss. However the fact Kate Moss is on the front page is made to be a huge deal as her name is only simply placed in white medium sized text at the bottom of the page    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The headline of article is con...

Music Video Analysis- Sativa by Jhené Aiko ft. Rae Sremmurd   (Def Jam) First opening 30 seconds of the video the mise - en -scene of the atmosphere , holographic keyboard and digital image of a female body , connotes imagery of an 'out of this world' experience and futuristic setting. - Paired with the lyrics later on the audience can conclude the characters and artists are denoting that they are high on a drug substance. ( ' I'm so high in here, been smokin' on this weed ) - additional to this analysis the name of the song 'Sativa' is a name for a form of cannabis - connoting that the purpose of the song and video is about being on drugs and joining the ' out of this world' head space. The Red Led lighting creates a sexual romantic atmosphere alongside the close up shots of the artists body and legs in the water , a common convention of R&B music where women are presented with minimal clothing and are usually seen as objects of desire. ...

Music Video Analysis - Heavy, California by Jungle  -(XL Recordings)  Mise-en-scene-   Setting is in a field amongst a plain of bright green grass and underneath a pale blue sky which seems as if it is due to set. - this setting evokes a sense of freedom and liberation through the wide space and plain open sky. The collective artists are dancing to the song rather than conventionally lip syncing - clear the the audience that the band are quirky and hold a different image and style - suited for a group from an independent record label  They are also dancing in sync connoting uniformity within each other but not the rest of society  The clothing the artists are wearing have neutral colours and a loose fitting - again evoking a sense of freedom , this could connote that the reject restriction from the world and societies structures  Sound-  The song has a smooth , soulful beat - reflective of the...
