Questionnaire (Survey Monkey)

A questionnaire was prepared on 'Survey Monkey' to efficiently test the effectiveness of the grey video. The video was shown to 15 candidates, after the candidates watched my version of the soundtrack and the original, they answered 10 questions. The questions were then compiled into accurate data through the 'survey monkey' website.

Questions:

  1. Have you had any musical experience? (Composing, playing instruments etc.)
  2. How often do you watch films?
  3. On a scale of 1 to 10 ( 1 being ' Not Important' and 10 being ' Essential). How important do you feel the music is with regards to emotionally emphasising the visual images on film?
  4. Does the video clips soundtrack help covey your understanding of the plot?
  5. On a scale of 1 to 10 ( 1 being 'Poor' and 10 being 'Excellent') How would you rate the relationship between visuals and music? (Do they compliment each other well?)
  6. The video has several varying emotional themes which interlink with one another. On a scale of 1 to 10 ( 1 being 'Poor' and 10 being ' Excellent') How well do you feel the music transitions between the sad thematic ideas into the more fearful and tense sections?
  7. Music is very important with regards to altering ones perception of a visual image or film. It can change the way we perceive an image e.g. The music can become potentially damaging if incorrectly used and not placed into context properly. Can you identify several of the emotions and feelings present throughout the clip? (Choose as many as required)
  8. In comparison between the alternative piece (original clip), Do you feel the overall feel of the plot has remained intact? On a scale of 1 to 10  1 being 'Theme completely changed' and 10 being 'Theme completely intact'. 
  9. Were there any parts throughout the piece in which you felt did not quite fit?
  10. The final thematic idea of the video utilises a reoccurring melody which is previously intended to be sad and mournful. The motif is then written in a 3/4 time signature as opposed to its previous 4/4 time signature. This can be heard throughout the final scene of the clip. On a scale of 1 to 10 ( 1 being 'Poor' and 10 being 'Excellent' ) How effective was the technique at altering the overall mood of the piece?
