Focus Group Discussion Questions/Points

In an analysis of our potential audience we must first establish how short films are distributed and seen by others. Our theory is that short films are rarely watched by anyone other than those with a vested interest in film to begin with, and that the general public will largely not be interested in viewing short films on television due to a lack of production value and the often “arty” themes they are perceived as having.

Have you ever watched a short film outside of school?

If so, what genre or subgenre would it be a part of?

What format did you watch the film in? (Youtube, television, film website etc)

If not, would you have an interest in seeing one?

Would you watch short films if they were broadcast on everyday television channels? If not, why?

Do you think short films are an effective medium of film?

What do you think is the objective of short films?

What do you perceive the target audience for short films to be and why?

Are short films a good medium in which to portray real life situations and events?

Does the idea of producing your own short films intrigue you because of the ease with which they can be made?
