Analysis of my questionaires/What i found out.

Here are some print screens to show some of the data I collected of my questionnaires, using the survey monkey website. I have got some feedback from my target audience which now can allow me to start making decision in which way I am trying to go with my project. This data has given me some thought of the kind of questions I want to ask my focus group when they come in to give some of their time to help me find out what they like.




What i found out in question one of my questionnaire is that almost 57% my target audience listen to RnB, and about 39% prefer to listen to Hip Hop plus 4 % listen to punk. I found out from this question where to aim my magazine to look like and that is hip hop and RnB.



What I found out in question Two of my questionnaire is that my target audience, says that the image of an artist catches their eye on a magazine more than the brand of a magazine, the fonts and text or freebies. I found out that I should ask my audience what type of artist they would like to see for example a relevant artist or a up and coming artist.

What I found out in question three of my questionnaire is that my target audience associate the colour Red with UK rap so with this i now know what colour my text should be on my magazine and that is red and black and definately not grey.


 What I found out in question four of my questionnaire is that my target audience dont really purchase music magazine but i found out that its a gap in the market for uk rap magazines.

What I found out in question five of my questionnaire is that my target audience would spend the most two to three pound to buy  magazine so when i create my magazine i will know what price i will put on it

What I found out in question six of my questionnaire is that most my target audience do not buy magazines and only a little do this is due to a lack of magazines in what they like.

Research Rationale

MEDIA WORK Research rationale 


The target group I have access to is people my age from my college, also have access to my friends outside of school who are slightly older then me and can give me a different kind of twist on things coming from their age group. Teachers from my college can also be asked because they may have some knowledge towards the type of genre I may be planning on creating. The types of research I will be conducting will be on what they like what may attract them and my research will be conducted on those round my age and those that are a bit older then me outside of school I also be asking question to them to further my creativity on the product I will need to be producing for my task in the lessons to come so that it will reach maximum perfection to what I Am trying to achieve. The resources I will be using is the printer some papers maybe a camera to record my focus groups and a phone i will use to record some conversations I am having with some people I have interviewed and I will questionnaires to get a response from my target audience on what they like. Observational research I will conduct.

Deconstruction of magazines

Deconstruction



Brief about the task i have been set.

The brief I have been set is to create a music magazine with a genre of my choice that will appeal to others. In the brief I have to create a front page of a music magazine also a content page and  a double page spread  with An interview with an up and coming artist. I am thinking about what type of genres I may base my music magazine on I have been thinking about UK rap underground as this is the type of music I listen to and can relate to.

One of the task in the brief that we have to create is breakdown and analyse two music magazines. The task that we have to do are quite inspiring to the fact we have to be creative and different my inspiration or what I want my magazine to look like and be effective as is the, ‘The Source’ or The ‘VIBE’.
