Audience Research and Existing Products

After showing our pitch to our classmates we decided we needed to do some more research into the audience of our chosen genre.
We therefore came up with this questionnaire.


Questionnaire

The Genre(Rock/Synth Rock)
1) What sort of features do you expect in a video of this genre?
2) Please list some music videos you think are good examples of the genre?
3) Do you feel that there is a wide audience for this genre?


Our Plan
1) Do you think that the bands music is a good example of the genre?
2) Do you think that the band will appeal to a large target audience?
3) Do you think that the initial video idea will be successful?
4) Would a video make you more inclined to listen to the band?
5) Looking at the lyrics do you think that the concept of the video fits the lyrics?

Above is the video for 'Tears don't fall' by Bullet for my valentine who are one of the bands influences. This video is a good example of the genre. It has a storyline mixed with shots of the band which is an approach I will be using in my own work.I like the dark, high contrast look of the video and this is the style I would like to use in my own video as it makes the band easily recognisable within the genre.

Above is the video for 'Streetcar' by Funeral for a Friend, another one of the bands influences. Again they have run a storyline alongside shots of the band. They also have added sound clips to add to the story.
