Focus Group

A focus group is a form of qualitative research in which a group of people are asked their perceptions, opinions and attitudes about a product. 

I am conducting a focus group to get their opinions and attitudes towards these two films and see what they like and don't like about the films, and then I can introduce their techniques used within my short film. 

Research Market

I have researched into the market for my Social Realism short film and found that the BFI has stated that social realism is better than any other genre purely because it is pushing the boundaries in the effort to put the experiences of real Britons on the screen, and shaping the ideas of what British cinema can be.

By reading this article it has shown me that Social Realism is a gift to the big screen as it is showing what life really is and I feel that there is a potential market for my film as I am showing what life is like for some people living in Britain. 

My film is on alcoholism and domestic violence. I have chosen these themes and issues as I feel there there has not been many films which create awareness for these issues and I would like to promote these forms of abuse and help people who are in these situations.
