Research Rationale

I will be able to talk to my friends and ask them some questions about what music magazines they read/what genre of music that they like. I’m going to create a survey, in which I will ask people questions about music magazines that they buy/how much they’re willing to pay for a magazine/what makes them buy a magazine, and will present the survey answers in an interesting way on the blog (I’m not sure how yet).

I will organise a focus group and create a video with an interesting and hopefully unique way of organising the people that I interview (I am going to try and make it like I’m conducting a science experiment). This is because I want to find a different way of presenting my focus group, whilst showing that I can present my work in a variety of tasks. I will also conduct a survey, to find out what genres of music people enjoy the most/what they like in music magazines. This is because I need to find questions to ask my focus group and I can base my questions of off what I find in the surveys. I am also going to ask my friend as topics of conversation what kind of magazines they are interested in, so I can find out what they like in magazines without it having to be on a camera, and this will give me an idea of what to base my questions for the survey on.

I will need a camera that can record videos, as well as a focus group to actually work with. I’m going to set up a day when people can come and be a part of my focus group. Also, I will need to use sureveymonkey.com to create a survey to send to people for them to complete.
