Focus Group

Yesterday We conducted a focus group with a small group of 4 people. Hubert and Hayden were responsible for leading the session while I was mostly responsible for ensuring that the session was properly recorded so that we can refer back to it as we plan our production.

Below you can listen to the recording of the session

Carrying out a focus group has helped us during the planning for our production. Firstly, it confirmed our beliefs that our target audience would like the idea of our production. The group also strongly supported our idea of setting the opening in a grimy set of toilets, they particularly liked the fact that the toilets are going to look dirty and abandoned and so we will place particular attention on making the set look good and also using colour correction during the editing stage to give everything a yellow-y-green appearance. Our idea of having "lively" music while the character is washing blood off his hands was not so well received and so we have decided that we might not use this idea, we will wait until we edit this section to make the final decision though. The group has led us to decide to use the "radio announcement" idea over the plain monologue because the group said that it would be more realistic, offering an overview of the backstory for the audience.
