Focus group questions

As part of our research and planning we have decided to have a focus group with our target audience, to get their feedback to help us develop our ideas, so that we can ensure that it will appeal to them. So today me and my group set aside some time during our lesson to decide on some non leading questions to include in our focus group that we will be asking our target audience. We are going to ask the permission of between ten and fifty individuals to be included in our focus group to give us feedback on what they would expect to see in a horror film. The group with be given a brief overview of our narrative and asked if they have any ideas for where we may need improvement.
