Focus Group Response

I believe the focus group worked out well and i got a decent discussion going with some great comments and feedback on my research and questions.

These are two "Peer Assessments" filled in by two classmates whom were evaluating my focus group. These responses help me on knowing how the group responded to my questions and how i can alter my Focus Group to achieve better feedback.

Focus Group Discussion Q's

I will present clips, following with questions in which respond and analyse the content of the films.




Do film's like "Fight Club" provide true social commentary?



Do you think Media and Advertisement push society to buy and Consume?



Do you believe film is a good way to voice opinions on matters such as the state of our Economy?



One YouTube user commented on this clip saying "that movie change the way i see the world"
do you think that film can do this? if so is there any films which have changed the way in which you see things differently?
