Further thought on Questionnaire


In my project proposal, i discussed establishing information about the subjects involved in my listening tests, in order to establish whether their is a key demographic which a recording of this sort would appeal too. However, I have also decided to allow people to refuse to answer these questions, as some people may feel uncomfortable and I do not wish to deter people from completing the questionnaire:
 
These questions would be as follows:

Gender (delete as appropriate): Male/Female/Do not wish to disclose

Age(delete as appropriate): 13-17/18-24/25-34/35-44/45-44/55+ 

                                                                                                                          A           Neither A nor B       B
Which version of the song did you prefer?

Which version of the song did you feel was better produced?

Which version of the song did you feel was a better 
performance by the band?

Which version of the song did you find more relatable? 

The deviations of age for my questionnaire are based upon the deviations of age in the insights section of facebook, a feature which allows bands and artist to see what type of  are liking their page, allowing them to plainly see their key demographic.


This image shows the insight feature of facebook described above. This particular example is taken from the facebook page of my band, the band which was recorded for my project. From this it can clearly be seen that the majority of the bands followers are males between 18 and 24, closely followed by males between 25 are 34. These demographics are mirrored in the female age groups, but in much lower numbers.

I decided these age group separations would be fitting as I intend to host my survey online in order to give it as wide a reach as possible and as facebook is the largest social networking sight in the world, it is reasonable to assume that the deviations they have set out are representative of the demographics regularly using the internet, and therefore the groups of people I am likely to re.ach, although in much smaller numbers than those of facebook
