Blog Poll Summary

I created a blog poll which asked questions in relation to my music video. I emailed other media students the link to my blog poll so that I could get realistic and useful critical opinions that I could trust. From this I gathered information which has helped me gain ideas on how to fulfill my target audience's expectations; all of the people who answered my poll were aged 14-18 which shows that my target audience are teenagers. This will be useful as the narrative for my music video revolves around teenagers which my target audience can relate to. I can also apply theorist Tessa Perkins to my music video creation and use mise-en-scene to present the characters in a stereotypical teenager portrayal. Next, the majority of people who voted on my poll believed that the storyline of a music video was the most important aspect of a music video which is why I have created a storyline that matches the narrative of the lyrics for my song choice. The next highest choice was the visual appeal which proves that it is very important that the editing is carried out well. When planning the storyboard and filming, I need to ensure that the visuals are good and compliment the video. Another result which has confirmed the importance of the style of narrative is that almost 75% of people thought that the narrative was the most effective style. Finally, 75% of people also agreed that it is important for a music video to relate to the lyrics whilst 25% believed that the lyrics should be incorporated into the song in some way.
