Focus group

This is Chelsea talking about what film genres she likes and what she likes to see in the opening title sequences.

What is a Focus Group

We have decided to have a focus Group this is a group of people that we will discuss what they like in an opening title sequence and will evaluate our work. Here are a few things we will discuss;

what movies they enjoy
what genre they like watching
how they think our video is going
how they think we should improve it
how they think the final product is

throughout the process of creating the opening title sequence we will keep having meetings and discussions with our focus group, This helps us as we have ideas from people outside the group and we know that they will be honest. Some will also be members that aren't in the media group as they will have new and different ideas that aren't shared with other people in the media so there won't be any same ideas as we would like ours to be different.

Evaluation

After evaluating our whole task there are many things i think we’ve done well as a group and many things that could have been improved on.
As a group we worked well under all the preasure, esspecially after having to change our entire film. We rarely got stressed with eachother and we all took on seperate parts so that it wasnt soo much stress on one person.
The things we didnt do too well with were over looking our mistakes. We didnt think our film was bad until the teachers told us what we needed to improve on at the last minute, which after looking back over it it was a good move to change the film. In our new film we used many good camera shots to help us gain effects, we used alot of closeup shots so that the audience can only see what we want them to see this way we arent giving away to much and we are able to leave them wondering what the film could be about or what the charcter is doing in the opening title sequence. We have also recorded on of us singing que sera sera acoplella because we thougth this is going to give a creepy effect and the lyrics are quite symbolic for our story line.
If we had kept our orginal film i would have had alot to evaluate and i would have been able to talk alot oabout what we could have changed, but since we changed it and improved it alot i feel as though we have already evaluated it whilst we were doing the process and took on our own group evaluation and made our film what we originally wanted it to be.
