Question 9 feedback: This chart shows us that out of the ten people we asked to take our questionnaire, only 1 person would be deterred from buying an album with a parental advisory sticker on it. This is useful for our group because the genre that Splutter is a part of generally would contain conventions that would require a parental advisory sticker to be on the album cover. An example of a punk band with a parental advisory sticker on their album would be Greenday's American Idiot. It also tells us that alot of people wouldn't mind listening to the use of slang and expletives in music as long as it is good humour or taste.

Question 6 feedback: The results for this question were fairly spread out which makes it more difficult for us to decide what the best elements are to please our target audience. However, it seems like alot of people would want a music video to sell the song to them and this tells us that it would be a good idea to incorporate the concepts and issues from the lyrics into the video so that the audience would know what they were buying. It also seems wise to use aspects of excitement and positivity in to the video (which may include humour that is related to day-to-day life) so that the audience can relate their desires to the enjoyment of the video. Aggression is the least voted for effect that people would like to see in music videos; this tells us that it would be wiser to go with the majority of what people want, rather than aim for the niche market with a target audience who enjoys to watch aggressive videos.

Question 8 feedback: This pie chart is interesting because 3 of the results are quite equal in whether they were people's favourite, yet one of the CD covers wasn't picked as a favourite at all. It so happens that the CD cover that wasn't chosen as anyone's favourite was Michael Jackson's "Bad". This tells us that the conventional pop CD cover which has the star as the main focus is unpopular among alot of people. This is good for our group because the more unconventional CD cover proved to be more liked because they raise conversation and are thought provoking.

Question 3 feedback: From these results we can see that most people watch music videos from home. This tells us that if music videos are being watched on the television, the music videos would have to be quite mainstream and follow the conventions of the other music videos on the scene. This means that it would be difficult to make a video which is suitable for what is normally shown on typical music channels. However by saying that they watch videos from home doesn't rule out the internet and the internet is a very influential tool for promotion of new videos that are different and make people talk about the content and the band.

Question 5 feedback: This set of results shows us that the majority of people would prefer to see a narrative story/ images of the band or artist performing their song. This is very helpful information for our group because our initial idea for our video was to have all members of the band following some kind of story and have some clips of the band performing as well. Our storyboard ties in very well with this information and we wouldn't have to change that any aspects in order to please our audience.

Question 1 feedback: This pie chart tells us that at least half of our target audience is in the age range of 16-19. This is very useful to know because all of the people in our group and in the band our in this age range and therefore we can relate what aspects of music videos we enjoy and tie them in with the video.

Question 2 feedback: This graph tells us that most of the people we asked do like punk and ska bands. This lets us know that the genre we have chosen isn't aimed a just a few people. This information also tells us that the age range which took the majority in our questionnaire (16-19) like the genre and therefore are more likely to enjoy a video based around the generic
conventions of punk/ska bands.
