Final Task Research

In previous weeks leading up to creating our prezi and presenting it, we have been put into ours groups, I have been put into a group with Natasha and Drew, Natasha I have already previously worked with on other group tasks and Drew I haven't, so I think as a group we can come up with some good ideas and work well. We were given the 2nd of the 3 questions from Monsteca, I would have preferred the 3rd question but I still felt I had a lot to offer on this question.

We have already met in a group and made some decisions in the way we would approach the research, we would look at advertising in the 3 types of media; Music, Film and Branding. We approached it in this way so that we don't miss anything out and can answer the questions asked in as much detail as possible and get different approaches on advertising from 3 different platforms. This will enable us to do individual research and then coallate that our research to answer the question.

My focus was on music and I wanted to look particularly at iTunes, Spotify and Beatport, which are all different ways in which you can buy music, and in which have been advertised on different platforms AND advertise on they're own website. I thought Spotify would be important in my research as it offers a freemium service, and uses adverts well to make money, I also would like to like to see how music company's simplify their companies to keep up with new media such as apps. We created Questionnaires first off using our experiences from the work we had previously done, and I have already had a few results come back from questionnaires and discussed them with my team. (below is the questionnaire)
It will be interesting to see what results i get from the questionnaire and what is noticeable when checking the results, and to see whether the music results match to the film results, so far i think the research is going well and look forward to gathering more.
