2. The Media Focus Group Firstly The Media Focus Group consisted of people who would be interested in my music video. Meaning they would be from the niche indie group who would enjoy the same music as the band used.
3. Tom Goodwin Tom Goodwin who enjoys alternative music was the first to comment on how the fast paced editing in parts keeps the viewers interested. He also mentioned how much he liked the locations used as he thought they contributed to the indie vibe. He could see the intertextual links between the video and similar indie videos by using the same clothing as oasis use.
4. Nathan Chiverton Nathan again enjoys all alternative/underground un-mainstream music. And he commented on how he thought the characters used were extremely suited to the original band. Nathan commented on how all the media products i made were all closely linked and if it was a real product he would be interested into purchasing the products
5. Simon Carter Simon Carter who enjoys indie music Really enjoyed the video and was surprised how professional it looked. Simon thought the cinematography was really effective he loved how there was a number of different shots ranging from high angle to an over the shoulder shot. He thought the introduction of the subtitles were great but he did make a comment that in many films or videos where subtitles are used they are used for longer making them easier to read
6. Ryan Mapp Ryan Mapp who listens to nothing but Indie commented on the actions of band and believed they acted rebellious similar to that of other indie bands. Ryan believed that the misc en scene used was really interested and really drew him into the video and kept him entertained. Ryan liked how the fish eye lense effect was used and as a photographer himself he thought hat worked really well!
7. The Reasons why I chose these four people for my media focus group My media focus group consisted of all media students as i wanted them to use buzz words so it would make it easier to talk to my focus group and to gain professional answers. All of my media focus group enjoyed indie music this was important as i wanted members of my target audience to hopefully give a preferred reading on my products. Where i could improve is to use male and female so i can gather more views to make this more valid and this is something iwil have to look into if i produce a task like this again.
