Survey Responses

Our survey helped to establish a better view on what we where to include in the music video for example the first question was "what do you expect in the alternative rock genre and how many band members would you expect to see" The most common answers that we got back in terms of band members was that they wanted to see all members who play an instrument or just about 4/5 members. The next question that was asked was "What sort of props would you like to see and would you like to see lots of them?" The most common answer we got back was that people wanted to see lots of props and they wanted them to be very unusual props that they had not seen before as they believe that it will link with the genre.

The next question "would you expect to see plain normal lighting or strobe/flashing lights throughout the video" All of the people who answered this question said they want anything but plain and normal lighting as they think it will not go with the song or the genre. The next question was "Do you want the video to be a fast pace or slow pace video?" Again everyone who answered this question said they wanted a fast pace video as it would match the song especially the chorus. The next question that we asked was " do you want the video to look like other videos that are of the same genre?" . This question was one that we would expect a typical "yes" answer from but instead we got mixed responses as some people said to stay with the genre where as others said to venture out and try and create a video that would start a new craze for this genre which we really liked the sound of when we started reading the responses.

 The next question was regarding the location and whether the people filling out the questionnaire wanted original ones or typical ones. The response that we got back was to keep it to the genre but just add a bit of originality so keep to the typical dark surrounded areas but pick an area that has not been used many time before and add an extra difference to it to be original. The last question was " would you prefer a music video that was all performance or would you like a mixture with another element?" The main response we got back from this question was a response that we hoped for as they said they wanted to see performance and narrative which is what we originally set out to do. The people filling out the surveys believed that with being included in our video it would suit the song and still match the genre.
