The Band

Radiohead an formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Colin Greenwood and Phil Selway. Radiohead became internationally famous in the 90's and were influential on the British rock and pop music.
Their work has also influenced other musicians in genres ranging from jazz to R&B.

Primary Research: Questionnaire

Through this questionnaire I was able to con notate and analyse the results. By doing this I was able to gain valuable insight into Radiohead's popularity and how well known the band is among all age groups and both genders.

According to my results only 60% of women knew who Radiohead were as appose to 80% of men knowing of the band, however 70% of the men that were asked this question were also aged 16 to 25 suggesting that Radiohead is much more popular and known to the younger generation. As only 10% of people aged 40+ knew who Radiohead were.

When asked the question What would you like to see in a music video? Overall 20% said Narrative, 20% said Perfomance, 50% said Both and 10% said other. This suggests that as a viewer people enjoy watching things that have a plot and meaning behind the images and lyrics whether it is a music videos, film or TV advert.

One of the open questions we asked were What do you expect to see in a Radiohead video? Here are a few the responses; -"Something totally unexpected and original"
-"An interesting video with a backbone and something to get your teeth into and actually have a meaning" -"A story with logic and told in a perverse or weird way but a story well told none the less".

The Purpose of my Blog

As part of my A Level Media studies coursework I was placed into a group of four to film, edit, and create a promo music video for the band of our own choosing. We will also be creating a digipack cover for the album and a magazine advert for the digipack. I will post all my research in accordance with my work on my blog and keep my blog updated with my progression of my coursework as the year continues.
The song we have chosen to make a music video to is Nude by Radiohead.
