Focus groups research questions

1. What kind of soaps do you prefer watching and why?
2- Who your favourite character? And what does he make you feel?
3-What makes a film realistic in your view?

4- What events which are occurring in real life, do you think would be good if it was turned into a tv program?

5- As we just explained in our treatment, we will be having odd characters from society, is there anyone round the business who you are suspicious of, wherever its gay behaviour or just weirdness?

6-Would you watch a soap that has a strong reality for example, real scenarios based around the recession?

7- Is there any part of reality you wouldn’t like to see in soaps?

8- The Muslim culture is often mentioned as terrorist organisation, what’s you personally opinion about this? (Because as you know one of our main characters is a boss of a major firm)


9-The recent downfall of all major firms due to recession , i.e. Woolworth , marks & Spencer and many more firms, do you think this has opened a gap in the film industry to take advantage of? Also do you think this should be taken advantage of?

10-Sexual behaviour something which is always effective, in soaps and films, a women is always used to attract the male audience, do you think using sexy guys would attract the female?

11- In your opinion which gender is soap mainly aimed out? Why?

12-Why do they have a main meeting point? (For example in Eastenders you got the pub) What does it enable the audience watching to capture?

  1. Serhan i think we'll be able to use some of the questions you have written although, there are many that you've posted that have very bad grammer errors and they don't make much sense.

    What do you mean by sexual behaviour? Our intention for having a sexy man is not neccesarily to attract women but it's intended for satirical response. The humours lies in the contrast from conventional representation (ie the women being the 'bimbo') and therefore portrays it, theoretically, through a 'womens perspective'. Maybe we could ask a question more based on the idea of sex and lustual scenes rather than attracting opposite sex viewers as the target audience is too diverse to be this specific.

    You can't ask the audience the meaning of having a communual meeting point. Our point of the focus group is to inform them of codes and conventions.

    And, you can't generalise the whole muslim culture as a terrorist group. This can have huge offence to anyone and it's suprising you said this as you are muslim. But avoid phraising questions or statements like this.
