Here is our discussion group for our audience feedback, it is transcripted and therefore makes it easier to see the questions we asked etc without having to look through the entire video. In my opinion, we asked a lot of sensible questions and got some good answers for our feedback, especially for future episodes and things we could have done better in earlier episodes. Below is the transcript Kirk typed up at home after listening back to the zoom mic recording.
Lines – Focus Group Discussion
-Transcript-
(Show first episode)
1) What do you think of the concept of lines?
“Yeah, I think it’s quite a good concept. It plays on a good concept. Like Recess in the 90’s, like that, was a really good series or the breakfast club, and it puts an original spin on it, so yeah, I think it was really good!”
2) Overall, what did you think of the first episode?
“It introduced the characters well, so you get to know each one of their stories, and sets it up really well, so you should be able to get the people interested and find out more.”
“It was good introducing the character at the end it makes you want to watch the next one”
What were the strengths and weaknesses?
“It was written well”
“The camera shots were put together really well!”
“Had good timing, bringing the different camera shots in”
“I shouldn’t have put my legs up when Zeke was doing his bit, as you can see my legs in the
background!”
3) Did episode 1 make you feel like you wanted to carry on watching future episodes?
“Yeah, it was intriguing”
(Show second episode)
4) What do you think is different from the 1st episode?
“Unlike in the first episode, where it was introducing the characters, the 2nd episode is different
because it is playing to what these characters are like, so it’s a good marketing technique because people are like ‘why is this character like this’, and then they watch the first episode as well”
5) What did you think of the second episode?
“Overall it was quite good. It added new layers to the characters, added humor into it as well, like the ‘super spy’.
What were the strengths and weaknesses?
(None Mentioned)
(Show third episode)
6) Do you like how the story has progressed over the series?
“Yeah, I like how the characters have developed, and you learn a bit more about them”
“There are also more things that you find out, which make you want to find out more, like the phone call, because makes you curious as to what’s happening there”
7) What did you think of the third episode?
“I thought it was good, I liked how it showed a bit of the episode before within the title sequence, and thought it was pretty good”
What were the strengths and weaknesses?
“Weakness id say, was a couple of Long pauses which I thought broke it up a bit too much”
8) What would you like to see in future episodes?
“Let Megan swear you can’t say she raises two fingers simultaneously and not make her do it!”
(Would you want a change of location/ characters etc?)
“I suppose a different location would be good!”
“Be interesting to have them break out and running about!”
Overall questions
9) What ways did the characters appeal to you?
What did you like about them and the social groups they represented?
“Quite a good covering of all social groups”
“Shows someone from each social setting”
“Allows everyone to identify with at least one character”
10) Do you think ‘Lines’ was marketed well?
“Yeah, I heard it from facebook
“I saw the posters”
11) Are there any other ways you think we could promote the series of lines?
(Not including facebook, myspace, twitter etc?)
“Put a notice in the register”
“If you have a friend who done another web series online, could advertise in them”
12) Would you look forward to an episode four?
“Yeah!”
