Focus Group

Music Videos effect and influence the younger generation of today including the easier and faster ways of downloading music digitally and through peer to peer sharing. For older generations who use to listen to music through vinyls and cds this remains as their method of consumption. Music videos don't seem to impact their lives, they may listen or watch them but are not persuaded by the ideology's as much as the younger audiences who now see it as 'the norm' to want to be like music artists by copying what they wear and how they act due to what they see in music videos.

Questionnaire

Here is a questionnaire I have created and handed out to gain feedback about what audiences gain from music videos and the impact they have on their life.

My target audiences listen to music almost daily as well as viewing music videos due to interest of a possible story to a song, if they are new or to simply fill up spare time. They all think a music video can change your opinion on a song whether that be for a good reason or a bad. "It may make you look at a song in a different way if there's an emotional story" or "if the videos weird it could put them off the song". There are mixed opinions to whether they are influenced to purchase fashion items based on the ideology's that they see but they do all conclude that if there was something they liked they would probably end up buying it whether it be because they saw it in the video or not. Narrative stood out as the most favourite style of music as its "more interesting" and they get to find out clearly the meaning behind the message of what the artist is trying to say.

Location

Garage - For the main shots with my artist I have set up little workshop areas were my artist will perform for the video.

1. A bed propped up against a wall surrounded with lights and white fluff for a smoke effect.
2. A plain window surrounded by lights.
3. A blacked out area on the floor were the artist will lay with lights.
4. A dark seated area surround by multi coloured lights.
5. A drop down netting for layers in the shot.
