We used the research into the metal-core lifestyle to do a questionnaire to see what the niche audience would want to see in our own music video. Below is a unanswered and answered questionnaire.
Blank questionnaire (1)
Blank questionnaire (2)
Answered questionnaire (2)
From the answered questionnaires, we were able to create pie chart to show the response from our audience:

1.) As seen above, more females took part in the questionnaire than males.
2.) The majority of the people who listen to this music are teenagers. This might be because most of our audience research was done on students from school who fall within this age group. The audience age group works well with our music as the band members are teenagers and so might be able to relate to the audience.
3.) As seen, we asked people who like different range of music rather than focusing on a particular target audience who prefer the metalcore genre, music and life style. From this, we though we could add ideas from other music genre conventions so we could get more audience.
4.) Just as the favourite music, they are equally people who wouldn't like to listen any of the music genres listed.
5a.) Gigs is a prominent part of the metal-core life style, and from experience, I would rather attend a gig because it gives a real sense of connction to the band. From the result, our target audience would have been to a gig to understand the importance of gigs in the metal-core genre.
5b.) Peopl attend gigs, for metal-core music and other music genres for several reason. As shown above, some metal-core fans attend it for the atmosphere.
6.)Metallica and Iron Maiden are some of the inspiring bands in the metal genre, so, it is no doubt that the majority of the participants in our audience research like them the most. This is also good for our music as "Remember the Ruined" takes inspiration of their style of music from them, so the audience will like our band.
7.) Live footage is always included in metal-core music video and so, we would also be including it in our music video.
8.) From research into metal core life style and audience research, gig venues are usually included in metal-core videos, so we plan to include in our own video as well.
9.) Live footage is an important convention for metal core genre, and our video fits this as we plan to include a significant amount of live footage.
10.) The majority prefers emphasis on lyrics, but we plan to emphasis both but especially on music through live footage.
11.) Metal-core bands try to avoid lip synching when performing their song as an error trying to sing at the wrong time or act uncertainly can damage their throat.. The results from the fits well with our idea as we have live footage of the band singing which we could match with the visuals.
12.) This again fits well with our plan as we want members of the band (Ian, James and Robynne) to be in the video.
13.) It is not surprising that their first impression would be "scary" as the music is quite loud. This does not however affects our music as the audience already know what to expect.
14.) From watching some of their video, I also think Bullet For My Valentine creates effective videos. It is also important that we look at other video, even the unpopular bands, and see how they create their video and what image they are sending to their audience.
15.) We will look at music videos from these band(The Devil Wears Prada, Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine), and what makes them memorable. We will the try to include some of the elements so as to satisfy our target audience.
