Music And Media Investigation - Questionnaire

Firstly I am going to come up with a questionnaire that my peers and other people I ask can answer when watching the music videos I choose. I am going to try and make my results as reliable as possible by using a varied range of ages and gender, also those with a different favourite genre of music.
