I gave the questionnaire to 9 people, along with showing them my music video and digipak, and below are the general results (since each response was unique as the answers wern't set answers, but spaces for people to give their own answers, hence why 'm giving the generals results instead of each result, which would make this post drag on for much too long):
In response to "Do you think there is anything that could be added to the Magazine Advert in order to make it look better?, and if so, what is it and why?", the response, in more or less words, was NO.
I was surprised that there was nothing that the 9 people questioned wanted to add, perhaps because I tried to fill the space without making it seem cluttered and thus people thought the space was covered well (this was in fact involved in 2 of the answers received; that the space was used well). I am glad I received this response as I believe the space was filled with all the necessary information, plus extras that added synergy and added quality to the look of the advert.
In response to "Do you think anything should be removed from the Magazine Advert that looks out of place/unsuitable?, and if so, what is it and why?", the response was, in more or less words, NO.
I was very surprised by this, as even though I tried to fill the space available without making it seem cluttered, I was worried some people still would find it cluttered, but surprisingly people didn't. In terms of why people thought nothing needed to be removed, they all mentioned they thought the layout was nice just the way it was, and some mentioned removing anything would leave space where the advert would seem empty/boring. I'm very glad this was the response I received as my biggest fear was that people would think the advert was cluttered, but to hear that they think the layout is good the way that it is really pleases me.
Finally, in response to "Would you do anything different to how I have presented the Magazine Advert?, and if you would, what is it and why?", the response was varied. Here I received 5 responses that said they wouldn't change how the advert was presented because they were happy with the layout, and 4 responses that said they would change the layout but the only reason was due to personal preference. Because of this, I am going to keep my layout the way it is, since the response to the first two questions was incredibly good, and changing the layout now may cause people to want to change things in the advert, as a change of layout can have that effect, since what is included currently may not work when laid out differently.
So, because of this response to my magazine advert questionnaire, I will not be changing anything else. This of course means I can declare my magazine advert complete, which I am incredibly happy about. So, in my next post this is what I will declare, that no more changes will be made and that my magazine advert is finished, and then after that the only posts that will appear on my blog are my evaluation questions and a final post saying that my coursework is complete.
So guys and girls, that raps it up for this post, but be sure to watch for my declaration that I have finished my magazine advert, and then after that, my evaluation questions and farewell post.
Until next time everyone!

Draft Magazine Advert Questionnaire
Now that I have completed all of my designs for my Magazine Advert, the only thing left to do is ask people whether they think anything should be added/removed/etc. , just as I did with my Digipak. If there is nothing to change then I will declare the magazine advert complete.
I have created a questionnaire in Microsoft Word that I will give to people, along with showing them my music video via computer/phone with 3G, and showing them my printed out Digipak, so that they understand the synergy between the different media texts.
This, like my Digipak questionnaire, will be short and sweet. The questions are as follows:
-----
Do you think there is anything that could be added to the Magazine Advert in order to make it look better?, and if so, what is it and why?
_________________________________________________
Do you think anything should be removed from the Magazine Advert that looks out of place/unsuitable?, and if so, what is it and why?
_________________________________________________
Would you do anything different to how I have presented the Magazine Advert?, and if you would, what is it and why?
________________________________________________
-----
I will conduct the questionnaire and then post the results soon.
So be sure to watch my blog very closely for the results of my questionnaire, and possibly any changes to my magazine advert as a result.
Until next time everyone :)

Draft Digipak Questionnaire Results
The results of the questionnaire are now in.
In total I gave the questionnaire to 10 people and since the answers they gave were each unique, it is easier to give the general answer that I got from analysing the results:
In response to "Do you think there is anything that could be added to the Digipak in order to make it look better?, and if so, what is it and why?", every response surprisingly said in more or less words; NO. This is good because I'm glad that people think that my digipak (after having seen my music video) is at its full potential for the music video/album it is trying to market. So I am incredibly glad this was the response, although as I say, if someone were to have said I should have added something I would have also been glad, as it would have allowed me to seriously consider adding something that would have potentially made my Digipak better, but since the response that people wouldn't add anything, I won't, as it may possibly jeopardise my Digipak.
In response to "Do you think anything should be removed from the Digipak that looks out of place/unsuitable?, and if so, what is it and why?" , again, every respone in more or less words said; NO. When I saw this I had the same feelings as the answers to the previous question, which is that I was glad but at the same time wouldn't have mind if someone did want something removed for a suitable reason, allowing me to create a better digipak. But seemingly, people are happy with my digipak, and so I will leave it just the way it is to be on the safe side.
Finally, in response to "Would you do anything different to how I have presented the Digipak?, and if you would, what is it and why?, I actually did receive some comments about changes people would make. I received a couple of comments about using brighter colours such as reds and oranges (and the reason being that they thought it may work well) as well as one comment about the message being different on the additional pane (that it would be more about the artist to give more detail to him, to inform fans). I did consider the two comments about brighter colours, but after going over my digipak again I decided that I was very happy with the colour scheme the way it was, and that a change in colours may not work well with the theme of drawings/indie music. I also considered the comment about providing more info on the artist, but again I did not alter my digipak. The reason for this is that indie artists are not often very self-centered, especially in the case of Newton Faulkner. So I thought it would be more appropriate to keep the info I had provided, about the effects of piracy on the working man, which is something I strongly believe indie artists may provide information on. To enlighten those and help them stop something that has serious effects on hundreds of people every year, thus helping to combat a real issue in the music industry, and showing compassion for others.
And so, with this questionnaire I have decided that I will now make no further changes to my Digipak, and the next post I will make will declare my digipak finished.
So everyone, that raps it up for this post, but be sure to watch out for my final digipak post and then soon after, my posts about my magazine advertisement.
Until next time :)

Draft Digipak Questionnaire
I have now completed the first (and actually possibly final) version of my digipak!
The reason I say that it may be the possible final version is because I have actually completed all that I intended to from my flat plan plus more! So at this point I am struggling to add any more, since the style I was going for (simplistic) has been achieved and even improved (as originally I hadn't planned to add details such as the heart drawing on the inner middle pane, or the filter effects on the artist/actress).
But just to see if there is any other possible details I could add, I have devised a questionnaire on Microsoft Word that I will print out along with a paper version of my digipak, which I will give to people to answer whilst looking at my digipak. Also please note that those who I give the questionnaire to I will also show the music video via a computer or my phone using 3G, so that they can understand the synergy between the digipak and the music video.
My questionnaire asks the following 3 questions:
-----
Do you think there is anything that could be added to the Digipak in order to make it look better?, and if so, what is it and why?
_________________________________________________
Do you think anything should be removed from the Digipak that looks out of place/unsuitable?, and if so, what is it and why?
_________________________________________________
Would you do anything different to how I have presented the Digipak?, and if you would, what is it and why?
_________________________________________________
-----
Really this was actually only a mini-questionnaire to establish whether I should add anything, whether I should remove anything, and finally a question just seeing how others may present the Digipak I was aiming to achieve (thus possibly giving me inspiration for any changes).
I will be sure to post the results soon so be sure to pay close attention to my blog, and that raps eveything up for this post!

Audience Questionnaire Results
Over the last week I have been handing out my questionnaire to anyone who fits in my target audience; males and females between the ages of 13 and 21 who enjoy acoustic music and are of any social class, ethnicity or culture, and now I can reveal the results of the questionnaire.
I managed to get answers from 60 people by using people from my school, outside of school, and even strangers who met my target audience in Bishops Stortford and Harlow. Just a reminder, here is what the questionnaire asked my target audience:
and here are the results in the form, ANSWER - NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO GAVE THAT ANSWER:
----------
1. ALL NARRATIVE - 24
ALL PERFORMANCE - 6
BOTH NARRATIVE AND PERFORMANCE - 20
DON'T MIND - 10
2. SOMETHING DIFFERENT - 39
STICK WITH CONTEMPORARY - 7
DON'T MIND - 14
3. YES - 35
NO - 10
UNSURE - 15
4. GLAMORISED - 8
"DOWN TO EARTH" - 41
DON'T MIND - 11
5. FAST-PACED - 4
SLOW-PACED - 49
BOTH - 7
6. YES - 41
NO - 9
SOMETIMES - 10
7. YES - 35
NO - 11
DON'T MIND - 14
8. YES - 6
NO - 46
SOMETIMES - 8
9. YES - 38
NO - 0
SOMETIMES - 5
DON'T MIND - 17
10. YES - 46
NO - 2
DON'T MIND - 12
----------
I have to say, consider my target audience and the type (from the 4C's) they are often most like; THE EXPLORER, mainly these results did not surprise me, the only result that did was the results of question 1, as acoustic music videos often contain both narrative and performance and therefore finding people who like acoustic music who say they'd prefer to see one that is all narrative was different. Although this could be because, as they've shown in question 2, they want to see something different (much like THE EXPLORER) and therefore want something other than the norm of acoustic music videos.
These results will definitely impact the my ideas and the way I create my music videos, as I will try to cater to the majority vote in order to appeal to the largest number possible within my target audience.
That raps it up for this post everyone :) be sure to leave a comment about how your audience reacted to your questionnaires :)

Audience Questionnaire
I have now created a questionnaire that people within my target audience will answer, thus giving me a better idea on how I should go about creating my music video. Just a reminder, my target audience are males and females between the ages of 13 and 21 who enjoy acoustic music and are of any social class, ethnicity or culture. The questionnaire can be seen below:
The questionnaire is actually one page long, it is just presented this way so that the questions I have written can be read on my blog.
The feedback I get will be crucial to helping me design my music video and I will be sure to make a post soon when I have gained a suitable amount of responses to my questionnaire.
That raps up this post guys, I'll see you all soon, and be sure to look out for my post about the questionnaire results :)
