Focus Group Questionnaires

Below are the completed questionnaires which were answered while our focus group members watched our finished film trailer the second time:

Focus Group: Film Trailer

In today's lesson we completed our focus group for our finished media product. We ensured all of us had our questions complete by today's date so that a questionnaire could be made which had all of our questions in survey form. I set up the iPad and Tripod in order to record the focus groups comments and Kayleigh and Amber set up the video on the interactive whiteboard through YouTube to let the focus group watch the film trailer on the big screen.

We decided to let the group watch the trailer once without filling the survey and then a second time where the focus group made their comments on the survey sheet which was given out before starting the video of our film trailer. Once the group had finished completing their questionnaires then we moved on to discussing everyone's thoughts and suggestions. Below is the focus group which we uploaded after completing the focus group:

Audience Questionnaire

Audience Questionnaire Planning

Me, Amber and Kayleigh have decided to write a questionnaire because on Wednesday my group will  be presenting our trailer to the focus group in which they will fill out the questionnaire and give us feedback. All of our groups members are going to think of questions to then discuss with each other to whether or not use in the questionnaire and also I believe we should have a variety of questions for example horror stereotypes, sound, lighting, setting, costume, conventions and characters. Below are the questions which I have thought of and I believe are suitable questions to be used in the questionnaire for audience feedback:

- Does the setting look like part of a horror film?
- Does the trailer show todorovs theory throughout?
- Do you think the trailer looks like a psychological horror?
- Can you understand the narrative throughout the trailer and is their anything you don't understand?
- Do you think that this trailer features horror conventions?
- Do you think that the antagonist/s are effective at portraying themselves as frightening?
- Does the trailer give too much of the narrative away or conceals to much or do you believe the balance is right?
