Audience Analysis Evaluation

From our results, we have decided to aim our music video towards White British males around the age of 16-20. Our music video will mainly be narrative with cuts to performance. We will make sure our video is child friendly so music channels are able to broadcast it at appropriate times such as when our age range gets home from school/college/work. When advertising our music video, we will emphasise the ability to buy online and download it as few people in our questionnaire go to shops to buy music. Drum & Bass was the favourite genre of the people we questionned, so our song and video will be Drum & Bass.

Questionnaire Analysis












Questionnaire

CD Analysis - Jacob Roots'


There are many different energetic lines and designs coming from the CD cover. It has very vivid colours and the energy relates to the style and the speed of drum and bass music.
There is slight humour in the top right text showing that this music is top. There are many volume speaker symbols with the volume up which shows that the music is loud and in your face all the time. On many drum and bass CD covers, there are interesting graphics showing the energy of the music.

Ram Records

Ram Records is an English drum and bass record label founded by Andy C and Shimon in 1992.

The progressive off-shoot of Drum and Bass began to emerge and the Ram Trilogy pioneered a new sound changing the direction of the scene once again.

Ram Records is arguably the biggest and best drum & bass label of all time. Their residency at The End is more than just an institution; it defines drum & bass clubbing!

Andy C seems to be one of their more popular artists and he also founded Ram Records with Anthony Miles.

Andy Clarke began experimenting with programming breaks as a teenager; he met Ant Miles at the studios where he was working through a family connection. They began working together in Ant's converted garage studio where Andy nurtured what was to become a sublime talent for chopping up and re-programming breaks. Andy then decided to set up his own label in early 1992 with a budget of £1000. RAM - so named due to Andy's star sign, Aries - launched with his solo debut and now-highly-collectable 'Sour Mash EP'.

Drum and Bass as a whole is dominated by a small group of "hardcore" record labels. These are run mainly by some of the scene's most prominent DJ–producers, such as Roni Size's Full Cycle Records, London Elektricity's Hospital Records, Andy C’s Ram, Goldie’s Metalheadz, Dj Fresh’s Breakbeat Kaos and DJ Hype, Pascal and DJ Zinc’s True Playaz
