Q2- Do you have a greater interest in the music (with regards to a band) or behind the scenes more personal action ?

Musical

Personal

The results of this question enabled us to tailor the information received to suit the target audience. It is important that within our music documentary we provide the audience members with content which will interest them and will make the documentary successful.

The results show that people have a greater interest in the musical element of a documentary however it is also important to create variety and show personal viewpoints and perspectives within our documentary. We will be looking to cross between the two within our documentary. There were 7 points between the two therefore this would imply that the target audience wouldn’t be put off by a mix of the two filmed elements together which is what we had hoped for the production.

3.Have you watched music documentaries previously?

Yes

No

This question enabled us to establish how familiar our audience are with music documentary's. The results of this question have the potential to make us reconsider the target audience. It was important within this question that we gained posative feedback to ensure the viability of the music documentury.

The results of the questionnaire show that the majority of our audience do have an interest in music documentary's which is positive feedback for our production, therefore no changes will need to be made to the target audience. Although we would expect that are audience would be within a low income bracket, we would expect that they are educated within this particular genre of unknown music. Which stereotypically attracts audience members who have a particularly strong interest in our genre.

5. What form of narrative presentation most appeals to you?

Voice over narration

Text-based narration

No narration

Within this question we wanted to identify what the audience members preferences where, with regards to the way in which added information is provided throughout the documentary. As Narration is conventional for documentary's, whilst doing genre and form research this became obvious to our team.

The results provided a more varied response, therefore within our production we will have to look into a variety of different methods and further research into narrative types in documentaries. However the results do show that the audience would like some form of narration throughout the documentary.

6. Within the poster, which will be used to advertise the documentary, which colour scheme most appeals?

Black and white

Feminine colors (Pinks)

Masculine colors (darker shades)

Within this question we were looking to find information which could be applied to the ancillary products. The results of this question will provide us with information regarding the favored color scheme of our target audience. The results show that our audience favored masculine colors or Black and white. Consequently we will not be including stereotypically female colors within the ancillary products and production. This was expected however the color scheme we will look to keep in keeping with the male dominated genre. Throughout the genre and form research it was difficult to establish a pattern with one particular color, therefore we be looking to use one of the above associated colors.
