Initial Thoughts on Lyrics

Our first thoughts on the lyrics were that they were telling a story, about a normal person who goes through the motions of everyday life and working a meaningless job as the title suggests 'nine to five' referring to the average work hours.

The song was written by Louise Harman, Gabriel Olegavich, Sam Preston, William J. Brown and performed originally by Lady Sovereign, the remix came later with The Ordinary Boys being added to the track and signing two verses and the chorus, it was then featured on the 'St Trinians' soundtrack.

Below is a poster we made on glogster, that briefly analyses the lyrics.

Audience Questionnaire & Findings

We conducted a survey within our peer group to gage both audience consumption and habits in regards to music and the videos that accompany the song. By asking specific questions to our classmates, we were able to gain an understanding of the ways in which music videos were generally consumed and from this, we could target our approach to producing a successful product for our coursework whilst understanding the ways in which music is promoted and supported.

Although the demographic studied in this questionnaire was somewhat limited and focused towards a teenage, unemployed student audience, we were able to earn an insight into the similar ways in which we all digest music and this has enabled us to understand how our group's music video could be targeted. If we had given ourselves more time to conduct this investigation, we would have broadened the sample and surveyed a greater demographic which would provide us with a more general look towards music videos.
