Questionnaires - Target Audience


These are our target audience questionnaires, which asked questions such as 'What is your favourite genre of music?' and 'What do you enjoy best in a music video?'. We then took the results from these questionnaires and put them into graphs so our results were easy to analyse.

Jamie T

Jamie T

Jamie Alexander Treays, known by his stage name - Jamie T, is an English singer/songwriter who grew up in multicultural London, absorbing a variety of musical styles while attempting to create his own. Jamie also started recording his own one man band home tracks, eventually debuting with the 'Salvador' single in 2004 followed by the 'Betty And The Selfish Sons' EP, both on his own Pacemaker Records imprint. He then signed to Gorillaz's record label, Virgin Records, and put together a full band line up for live gigs and 
released two more singles in 2006, 'Sheila' and 'if you've got the money'.

We decided to 'Sticks n Stones' for our music video because we wanted to do quite an entertaining music video that would be amusing to film and we also felt we had lots of positive ideas that would fit well to the lyrics. However, one issue we came across was some of the bad language in the lyrics which we asked our teacher about and agreed it wouldnt affect anything.
