What have you learned from your audience feedback? - Part Three - Ryan Samuda

Question Three
'What genre of music do you think this music video would fall into?'
We chose to ask this question as we believed that the genre of music was important in terms of selling our artist, the audience who would buy the music and also roughly the amount of sales that we could get.  As spoken about previously, the image that girls represent is very urban and street, and there corresponds directly to RnB and Hip Hop music.   We not only wanted this to be easily conveyed through the song itself, but also through the actions, mannerisms and portrayal of the artists.

Ryan Samuda's Response:
Ryan Samuda answered this question conversing 'it is very urban, a mix between Bashment, Hip Hop and a little bit of RnB...Imagery is very Hip Hop'  This was the exact answer we wished to hear, perhaps even better as he stated another genre that we had not initially thought about, bashment.  This was extremely helpful for us as it meant that we were possibly able to target a wider audience, as the genre was a lot bigger than we originally thought.

What This Taught Me:
From this response, I learnt that the more genres a music video is able to fit into, the higher the success is likely to be.  This is because so many music industry mediums revolve around the genre of music.  For example, by having a song and video that can relate to more than one type of music, the target audience increases along with the number of sales the band is likely to have.
