Focus Group

i showed group of 6-13 year olds of mixed gender the opening sequences that i analysed and asked them a series of questions about what they enjoyed about the sequences and what they thought could be improved.



Lizzie McGuire

• nobody said that they read the credits and all said they wouldn't care if they came up or not. also over half said they didnt even realise the credits were there.
• 75% of the group said that they liked the fact that the characters names appeared with the corresponding characters in the sequence.
• 60% said that the colour scheme made the characters and what they were doing stand out and more memorable.
• however a further 55% said they would rather have a more busy colour scheme.

Zack and cody, suite life.

• 60% of people said they would prefer if there wasn't any lyrics in the theme tune.
• 80% said they preferred to be introduced to the characters separately
• 75% said they enjoyed learning something about the characters when being introduced.
• 50% said the opening sequence was a little bit too long

saved by the bell

• 65% said they liked the transitions between the introduction of each character
• 90% said they like being introduced to all the main characters not just the main one
• 50% said they would like to se every character
• 70% said they like the bright colour scheme

after this i told them the main plan for my opening sequence and asked them to give me feedback on the compnents that they think will improve my scene and on the aspects that will not be very good.

• they liked the idea of the backing track being up beat, catchy and without lyrics.
• they liked the idea each character have their own main characteristic
• they didnt like the idea of having credits at the end
• they like the idea of how long i was planing for it to be
• they liked the idea of there being an even amount of males and females.
