Questionaire

After finding that I can't decide whether James Blake's audience is predominantly male or female based, I decided I am going to conduct a small questionaire on 50 of my friends (they will be in the sixth form all the way to ages thirty five, which I would say is most probably the target audience's age for James Blake's music). 25 of them will be male and the other 25 female. I will play extracts from two tracks 'Retrograde' and 'Limit To Your Love' (the good thing about doing this is that there is a lot of repetition in James Blake's songs, it doesn't appear to be much of a bad thing in his case but 30 seconds of his songs can often sum up the entire track). And simply ask 'Did you like this artist'. 50 people may not be significant enough to conclusively give an idea of which gender Blake's audience is preferred by, but it will do for purposes of my production. I will use a likert scale of:

I really like it - 5

I like it - 4 

It's okay - 3

I don't like it - 2

I hate it - 1

and then consult my psychology teacher (who I know is experienced with statistical tests) or media teacher to analyse the data I collect.

If my results are particularly heavy in either direction, it could lead to me rethinking some ideas for my music video production.
