Second Questionnaire

What Gender Are you? A total of 25 people filled in my Questionnaire. Out of the 25, 19 were female and 6 were male. This then indicated that it was mainly females that were interested in answering my questionnaire and therefore is most likely that mainly females will be interested in my magazine too. So i will aim my magazine towards a female audience but maybe involve artists that can attract the male gaze. How Old Are You 2 people were bellow 15, 3 people were 25+, 9 people were in the age bracket of 16-18, and the last 10 fit in at the ages of 19-24. If i analyse this i was right to choose my target audience at an age range from 17-25, because 19 people out of the possible 25 were between the ages of 16-24. having the majority of the people that answered my questionnaire fit into my original target audience age range is helpful because i can most definitely use the information collected from this to make decisions in my production process and almost be guaranteed that it will fill the needs of this age range.I can use my questionnaire to help me satisfy my audience. What Music Magazine do you prefer? In order from lowest to highest, no people chose 'Classical', 12 people like 'Mixmag', 6 people like 'vibe' and 'NME', and 7 people prefer Q. This result shows that my intuitions for my target audience were correct in the sense that they were slightly more mature and go for the slightly more sophisticated magazine. Mixmag has the closest resemblance to my initial ideas for my genre where they would mostly focus on a girly presentable appearance. What type of music do you prefer? 0 people again chose 'Classical', 3 people chose 'Other', 9 prefer ' R'n'B', 4 listen to 'Rock', 7 for 'Pop' and finally 2 for 'Indie'. These results show, that i was right to choose an RnB genre magazine with a hint of pop for my target audience as both these scored the highest percentage of the votes. Again this will help me satisfy my audience as i will now know what they look for in the magazine of my music that they prefer. How Often do you buy a magazine? 2 people that answered this question put 'never' buys magazines, an equal amount of 4 people had chosen they 'rarely' buy a music magazine and buy a magazine 'once a month' however, 7 had chosen 'once a fortnight', and the remaining 8 buy magazines 'once a week'. this result indicates to me that my target audience read music magazines frequently, and for me to meet the needs of my audience i must be prepared to sell my magazines weekly in order to keep their interest, this also means the content of the magazine must always have versatility and a unique selling point to maintain it's attraction to the audience. How Much would you spend on a music magazine? 1 person has voted that they would only spend '-£1' on a magazine, 4 voted between '£1-2',3 voted £2-3 3 voted '£4+', and the remaining 14 Chose '£3-4' . The reason i believe the audience may not have chosen the cheapest options as opposed to the dearer options is because they know that by only paying a small amount the quality of the magazine wouldn't be as high as they expected whether its the content or the paper finish used, they may believe it wouldn't be up to their standards. Also if my target audience is of a slightly older age group, they have more money to spend as opposed to the younger ones who still may only get money from their parents. I will therefore be charging my magazine at a price of £3. What do you look for in a Music Magazine? out of the 25 people that had voted, 3 people chose the category 'Other' and one person chose the category ' Posters', as for the rest of the votes 3 people look for 'Competitions', 5 for 'Photographs', 5 for 'New albums/artists', and the remaining 9 for 'Band Interviews'. This shows that my target audience prefer the actual written content of the magazine, such as the interviews and new or upcoming artists as opposed to the posters they can receive out of it. The photographs also had a higher vote, but these would automatically come with the stories, it just means i can use a larger amount of photo's to keep the audience interested and making look presentable. Which story idea do you prefer? Again 3 People chose 'other' where they a clearly not interested in the magazine at all. 15 chose story one, 5 chose story 2 annd an equal 5 chose story 3. This made it very easy for me to pick which story to do, as clearly my audience preferred story one to the other two. This means that some of my audience will be persuaded to buy the magazine just because they want to read and find out more about the story. Which title do you prefer? 10 of the people chose rhythm and beats, another 10 chose Grind and 5 chose boom, this left with a total of 0 people choosing boom. I was verY shocked by the results of this as i was very sure that the title Rhythm and beats was too boring and common for the title of an RnB magazine and i didnt believe that boom had anything to do with RnB.However because the other two title completely split in half it gave me the opportunity to choose one myself. I therefore am going to choose Grind and i personally don't think that rhythm and beats is good enough. Which Colour scheme do you prefer?
