In conclusion to my audience feedback and opinion polls, the type of person who would be interested in my music video are part of a niche audience, for the song itself is of the indie rock genre and the majority of my audience are generally more interested in artists on an independent label.
So far, 18 people have responded to the questionairre giving positive results which I will base my music video around.

The most popular type of music video is performance and abstract so I will try to combine these elements in my own work. I originally had the idea to include animations so I will test this technique before making my music video to see if it is effective or not - a narrative would be nice to include with the animations. Most of my audience are of the C1/B social class category who have more money to spend on luxuries like CDs. The final product should appeal to both male and female for 46% of my audience are male and 53% are female with about 90% in the 16-24 age range. People of this age are mostly students who can afford to spend their money on music and have spare time to sit and enjoy music videos.
My target audience will be fans of The Maccabees. The Maccabees are a vibrant band who are stylish and often seem to wear bright colours. Also looking at the average statistics of their music videos and live performances on YouTube, the majority of the people watching these videos are between 14 and 24 and are female. Fans of this particular kind of music will enjoy light, fun pop music. Stop animation is used in their music video for ‘Latchmere’ which presents them in a creative and young spirited way. My audience will reflect this – they will like socialising and listening to music. Their preferred music genres will include rock and alternative music and be a regular gig-goer while having a high interest and understanding of various artists.

The majority of my audience is from the East Riding area. stereotypically, people who live in that area are from a more well-off family, however this is not always the case. But Hull is not the most culturally-diverse city in Britain so genres such as pop and R&B are much more popular. Vinyl music has also become more fashionable nowadays which is normally produced by more alternative artists.
