Target Audience
The song that I have chosen for my music video is of the genre Pop/Rock/Folk and therefore would appeal to people who enjoy this genre of music.
The music video would also appeal to the younger audience, from the age range of 10 years – 30 years. From my research I have found that this age range is more likely to watch music videos online. However, with further research, I found that Steve Yeo ‘gig’s’ in pubs and clubs, with an older audience, therefore I also believe that an older audience would enjoy the video.
My research also suggests that both male and females prefer narrative music videos. As my music video is narrative, I believe that the video would appeal to a larger audience.
Here is a call list I created:
Here is some research on different genre’s of music video:
I have decided to do the following brief:
‘A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with a cover for its release as part of a digipak and a magazine advertisement for the digipak.’
I have decided to chose this brief because I have a strong interest in music and video and feel it is the appropriate choice. I can also use my dad as the music artist in this because he is already a singer and he would be easy to interview and ask his advice on the video. I will use one of my dads songs for the video, which is called ‘Please Don’t Set Me Free’.
The video will be a narrative video, with a story line that will match the song. I have also decided to do a video interview with my dad asking his views on the video.
I have previously taken some photographs of my dad, for his website and for general promotion. I have kept some of these photos that I will use for the album cover and website. (My ancillary texts)
(Eventually, I did not have enough time to film the video interview that I had planned)
Here is the schedule I created:
