Focus group preparation. Zoe.

As soon as all paper work (preparation) is complete i can then confirm a date and time as to when we'll conduct the focus group. Our primary aim is to understand their enviroment and gain an insight into their views on soaps and represenation in soaps.

• Aslihan - A bulleit point treatment will need to be complete. It should highlight that our aim is to show how a business is affected by the current climate.

• Serhan - A questionnaire needs to be complete to remind us of the points we need to cover. What soaps do you watch? Do you keep up to date with them? Favourite characters? Melodrama? Storylines? etc.

• Aya - Research must be conducted relating to infamous storylines such as dirty den (Eastenders) and finding out why they were so popular. Questioins should be drawn to have another feedback session. What do you think about Dirty Dens ressurection? Do you want to see deaths at christmas?

• Discuss representation (codes and conventions). E.g., "the square" is a communual area. Is it realistic?

• Zoe - I shall be finishing the storyboard to contribute to the handouts. I will also be dealing with all the arrangments concerning our focus group.

When designing the handouts ensure everything is clearly layed out and easily read (with NO spelling or grammer mistakes).



This is to be completed by the 10th November 2009!!
