Presentation
This is the presentation showing our research for the music video - including genre and content. This was used for our focus group to present our different ideas. We explored Primary research (checking out things like after effects ourselves) as well and secondary research (checking out other peoples views and opinions)
Focus Group Video
This is a recording of how the focus group presentation went. The presentation went okay, although I don't think I got the true intentions of the video across. I didn't really explain why or how we wanted to complete either of the idea's and I think our pitch could've been a lot more prepared and less splurging on unnecessary information.
Focus Group Responses
​Overall, the outcome of the focus group was exactly what I was hoping for. I much preferred idea 2, and evidently so did the audience. The consensus was that idea 2 was the best, they liked the idea and the narrative structure but the lighting may get a little hard as well as the filming on the train and getting it to look good. I completely agree with this as it could become are to film in the dark conditions, and the fish eye lens especially in the dark. - an extract from my week 9 journal that sums up the focus group responses.
