Unit 21: Focus Group

After explaining my second idea to a Focus Group of 4 people of the target audience age I have gathered some useful information:

• All of the group said that they would be interested in watching the programme if it was released. 
• They liked the idea and said it was unique, like nothing they had seen before but certain aspects of it resembled other great programmes which they had really enjoyed - leading them to want to watch it.
• They thought the programme could be developed into many series and started to contribute with ideas on where it could go (they suggested that when the Syrian man comes back to the UK, it is discovered that he has been part of a terror cell all along and he was an undercover). This could potentially expand the programme across multiple series with this. 
• The group were also happy that the film had a female lead protagonist and feature characters from different backgrounds. Although they did point out that all of the 'bad' people were represented as people from ethnic minorities and the 'good/innocent' were white/British. 
• It was also pointed out that the programme could be expensive to make and that it may be quite complex to create a migrant camp.
