Focus Group and Feedback

We got a group of 3 and we asked them a series of questions.
Here are our results.



Q1 - What genre do you think our film is?

Person A) Looking at the film opening I can gather a few bits of information and I can have a good guess that the genre is action.

Person B) I think it may be action due to the confrontation between the two different sets of boys (the group of 3)

Person C) Action because of the handling of what appears to be drugs.




Q2 - What part did you enjoy the most?

Person A) I enjoyed the start of the film the actor doing his hair and shoes, something interesting must be happening, he's also wearing a watch which shows that he's going somewhere important.

Person B) The part when all the boys meet up, I think something big is going to happen. Maybe a fight or something.

Person C) When the boy on his own looked and gave the 3 boys a hand signal, I think there must have been a dispute in the past between these 2 groups of people.



Q3 - How do you thing the film would end?

Person A) I recon the film would end in a fight, I recon the 3 boys would go out looking for the other lad that they saw across the street.

Person B) The boy on his own would go and find his mates and then come back to where the other 3 boys where and then a massive brawl would happen.

Person C) I think that the boys would do the drugs that they got and go off to a football match and then cause trouble. The other lad on his own would be in the away end and then a massive fight would happen outside the ground.



Q4 - Would you watch the rest of our film by just watching our opening?

Person A) Yes I would, their was some tension between the boys which would end in a fight most likely, and I really enjoy watching films with violence in them. So yes I would watch the rest of the film.

Person B) Most likely, it looks interesting and I would want to see what the other boys would do if they saw the boy on his own again.

Person C) I would certainly carry on watching the film. I can get a sense of football violence, I really enjoy football violence films, its one of my favourite types of films.



Q5 - What are your thoughts on location?

Person A) I think the locations that have been used are good. The start of the opening you see a boy doing his hair at home in a mirror which isn't braking any conventions. Where the drug deal is happening is good too, the changeover is where you'd usually see a drug deal. In an empty place.

Person B) I thought that the use of location was good. I think lots of thought has gone into the consideration of the choice of location.

Person C) Location that was used in the film was very interesting. I also thought that it didn't break any conventions.


Q6 - What are your thoughts on the props used?


Person A) I think that the props used where good. Usually in action movies you see lots of fighting and drug use. The use of what appears to be drugs works very well with the genre and does not break any conventions.

Person B) The clothing that the boys wore was very good and fitted very well with the genre. You usually see people in smart/branded clothes in action movies and the boys in the film wore and stuck to the convention.

Person C) Using the phone to meet up with the lads mate was good and was a good use of a prop. Also leaning against the ped in a sort of a fashionable way. The use of props was good.
