Audience Research 2: Results
This is a slideshow to present graphed results of my Audience Questionnaire. These graphs provide a more visual presentation of the results and have in fact shown me more about what an audience is used to seeing or expects to see.
The majority of the survey takers were female with a few males and almost all those who took part in the survey were in their 16 - 20s. This is a good age range to have as this is the sort of age that is more likely to listen to Indie Rock; this is our target audience.
The survey had shown us that most people were aware or familiar with the Indie Rock genre, something that is important because if our genre was not recognised then that tells us that not only will most people be unfamiliar with the music but we would need to concentrate of giving the genre and the artist a lot of exposure in our piece so they become recognised. Most of the people in the survey had stated that they casually listen to Indie Rock music which once again is good as these people will definitely be more familiar with the Indie rock genre and have heard the music rather than just know of the genre.
When asking what the audience expected to see in any music videos they all seemed to want a balance between dancing, costumes, band performances and costumes. However when asking what it was that the audience would want to see in an Indie Music Video they sai they would enjoy the same things as any other video but they wanted to see a lot more shots of the singer. Therefore what our group can take from this is that when we make our music video we need to include not only a narrative, some dancing, costumes and the band but also we need to make sure that the audience gets an eyeful of the singer.

CD Cover Research
The Vaccines: Come of Age (2012)
This is the album cover for The Vaccine's latest album "Come of Age". This would be the second album released by the band. From looking at this album cover related to the name it is immediately clear how they link, though the band consists of 4 adult males they use young girls who represent each of the band members. For anyone who is fans of or at least aware of the band they can make this link to each member. This album colour has been put into black and white minus the bold red font of the band. This band seem to have not included the actual name of the album onto the front cover, perhaps because they wanted the image itself to let the name and the message come across itself about "Come of Age".
Two Door Cinema Club: Tourist History (2010)
This is Two Door Cinema Club's first full album named "Tourist History". The colours on this image are quite dull and not very vibrant, it features an image of a cat with extremely large pupils and is mainly hidden behind the exceptionally large font for the band. The band's name is a lot larger than the title of the album as this is their first album it is more important that the band themselves are recognised by their name since not a lot of people will know who they are. Based on the image and the name of their album.
SBTRKT: SBTRKT
This is the self titled album by artist SBTRKT. The album cover for this artist is in fact an image of Dj SBTRKT wearing this mask which he always wears in his live performances so this would be something that fans of SBTRKT would recognise to be him. The CD cover does not have any text to say the name of the artist or the album name perhaps because SBTRKT had been releasing singles and EPs since 2007 that by the time he released this full album in 2011 many fans of his would already be aware of who he is. The colours of this album cover seem dull and wash out except for his mask, the mask appears to be the only part in colour and once again it is probably because it is something his fans will recognise most about him.
