These are the analysed results for my music video survey.

1. Music video survey results
I have created a survey with 10 different questions about music videos to gain an
understanding of what people like to see. I have asked a range of different questions and
uploaded my survey to Facebook where I posted the link, allowing people to access the link
and fill in the questions depending on their personal taste.
1. For question 1, my results have told me that 85% of the people who answered my
survey were female. This means that I should aim my music video mostly at females,
with elements aimed at males as 15% of the opinions in my results come from them.
This means that I will take into consideration what the majority of my audience want
as the result is unbalanced.
2. Question2has toldme thatover 70% of people whotookmysurveywere betweenthe ages
of 13 to 19. Over20% of people were overthe age of 36 and fewerthan10% were between
the ages of 20 and 35. Thiswill persuade me toaimmymusic videomostlyata teenage
