2. Focus Group
• In our focus group we decided that we would have a selection
of 15 students ranging from the age of 15-18. Within the
focus group, we explained the idea of our video to them. This
gave them an idea of what to expect for our opening
sequence. All of the participants were asked what they
thought of it, they said that they quite enjoyed the idea that
we came up with. They also said that it was good and that
after hearing about it, were looking forward to the release of
the film. They said that the opening sequence seems like it
will fit in well with the genre that we have chosen to do. We
then got the focus group to fill out our questionnaires on the
film. The results of this questionnaire was used as final
feedback on our opening sequence and what we needed to
do to complete it.
