Focus group ideas

In today's lesson, Eboni and I planned the focus group which we will be carrying out next week.
We had a discussion on what type of people we will be gathering together to ask and put forward a plan of our ideal focus group.
6 x year 8 pupils (12-13)
6 x year 10 pupils (14-15)
6 x year 12/13 pupils (16-18)
Older audience (25+)

We decided that we would have to carry out our focus groups with the lower years during school times to make it easier for both us and them and will also ensure we get the right target audiences.
Here are the questions we made up:
- What is your favourite genre?
- Who is your favourite artist?
- What do you like about them?
- What is your favourite music video and why?
- What do you like in a music video?
- Do you like special effects? why?
- What's the best/most memorable video you've seen?
- Do you prefer performance or performance based music videos (explain concepts)
- Has your taste of music changed as you've grown up?
- Would your opinion of  a song change once you have seen the music video?
- Have you ever seen anyone live?

However, due to the fact that two of these focus groups will be with lower school years, it does mean that we will have to send out a letter for parental consent so that they will be able to participate in the focus group. This will take a while to create and send out then get a reply so we will conduct the discussion once we have the reply slips back in.
