1) What is your favourite genre of music?
We found out that majority of people couldn't pin-point their favourite type of music with just one genre. The Hit-ups are extremely eclectic, so this benefits them!
2) What music channels do you listen to?
'TMF' is a POP channel, however it does feature music videos from various genres such as indie, r'n'b and dance music. Again, alot of people couldn't just pick one channel. Others actually selected "none" because they don't watch music channels. It is possible they only search for videos from artists they want to watch on youtube. A few people asked us why there wasn't a question about radio stations...
3) How often do you go gigs?
Majority of people go to gigs 'every couple of months', depending on whats on in Bristol. Only a few people go once a year. We asked few older people, and factors such as; work and children determined whether or not they could go out in the evening, less frequently then people of a younger generation.
4) Out of the selected, which music festival would you enjoy the most?
Majority of people would enjoy Glastonbury festival - in recent years, it's seen the likes of Hip-hop sensation, Jay-z headlining, which is unusual for a festival that tends to lean toward the more alternative side of the music industry. We got a few complaint with this question and said "they were all indie festivals". We picked these festivals for 'The Independents top 20 British Festivals" and these were in the higher section. We didn't want to list every festival in the list, this may've made the question quite generic - although it wasn't intended. In addition, a person who answered who only like hip-hop and r'n'b as a genre, answered that they would prefer Glastonbury to anything else...
"Other" Festivals include:
- Greenman
- Ozzfest
- Latitude
- Creamfields
5) Where do you purchase most of your music?
Over half of the people we asked, purchase their music online. This is excellent for the Hit-ups, as they practically live online. Their merchandise is online, as is their music (Itunes). An equal amount of people purchase their music in low key shops Fopp and mainstream stores like HMV. One person said that they download music "illegally".
6)What's your favourite music video?
12 people were unsure of their favourite music video, they thought that it was an extremely hard question and left this area of the questionnaire blank! Only 7 people knew...
- "Thriller", Michael Jackson
- "Like a Prayer", Madonna
- "XOXOXO", Secret + Whisper
- "Subterenen Homesick Blues", Bob Dylan
- "Maxim feat. Skin" Carmen Queasy
- "Seven Nation Army", White Stripes
- "Mob Scene", Marilyn Manson
7) When watching a music video, what do you look out for?
Over 50% look out for performace...if this is the most important element of a music video, surely the concept has to make sense to? Maybe not for indie videos....
8) What attracts you to a CD/DVD cover?
Alot of people misunderstood the question, they thought that we asked them "what makes you buy a CD?", they answered the music- one person said "you don't listen to art work". The same amount of people are attracted to the CD cover's picture quality, whilst only have of that go for more abstract CD covers.
9) Is the cover of the CD of interest to you?
15 people said that the cover of a CD is of interest to them. One witty person said that "the external beauty" was important, another clever quote, "adds another dimension to the music", another person thought that it was "good for representing the music".
10) Do you prefer CD Booklets (acknowledgments/song lyrics) in CD you buy?

10) Do you prefer CD Booklets (acknowledgments/song lyrics) in CD you buy?
Many people thought that it was "annoying when you can't sing along", however, 7 people thought that the book wasn't needed.
11) Listen to this track, what do you think of the song?
Half of the people we asked thought it was mediocre....we were hopeing for 100% VERY GOOD!
