Upon listening to Timshel, we gave people the following questionnaire:

Analysis of Results

• Of the seven responses we got to the questionnaire, six appeared to be answering seriously, whereas one simply wrote 'lol' in all the boxes, so we will discount this result

• In answer to the first question 'When listening what do you feel the most appropriate colours are to represent this piece?' all of the responses mentioned the colour green. Other colours mentioned were blue, dark yellow and orange, therefore it is safe to assume that autumnal colours would be a good colour palette for our production.

• In answer to the second question 'Which locations do you think are appropriate for a song of this genre?' the general response was in a field or other rural location, such as woodland or a quiet village. One response mentioned the artists house, which we will be using at the start of our music video.

• The third question was 'What costume items do you think would be appropriate for a song of this genre?' and the majority of people agreed that vintage, indie clothing was best suited for the band, with one response being 'farm gear'.

• The fourth question was 'What instrumentation do you think would be associated with this song?' to which everyone answered with acoustic instruments such as banjos and guitars.

• Our fifth question 'If there was a narrative to this song, what do you think it would be about?' got mixed answers. Some responses thought it was about happiness in love, whereas some thought it was more about the loss of happiness and love, and one response detailed the kissing of a horse. I believe that this shows how the song can be interpreted differently by different listeners, and our music video will be one interpretation of that. I would also hope to construct our video in a way which means that it can be interpreted in different ways as well, making it more personal to the viewer.

• In answer to our sixth question 'If there was performance in this video, what locations do you think would be appropriate for the performance?' the main responses were of either a barn, woodland or a field. I particularly like the idea of a barn, however I think it wouldn't be viable because a barn would be difficult to light properly, and it is unlikely that any farmers will let us film a music video in their barn.
• Our seventh question was 'What ratio of performance to narrative do you think would be appropriate for this song?' and the results are on the graph below:

 
 

·  The final question was 'What are the connotations of running water?' as we want water to be a key motif in our production. The majority of the answers were based around moving on and life, which is great because these are key themes of the song and of the music video.
