Focus Group!!!

THANK YOU 2 all you guys who did my focus group=] I really apreciated it and it helped alot! Have also typed up the transcript although its rele short:S i dont remeber it being that short!! But it has some great ideas and opinions in it =] The combination of picture drawings with words to express how each person interpreted Childhood in Tim Burtons films was rele interesting! i foundout those who had to draw, drew nice, 'sweet' things.
For example the drawings were of :
  • A Chocolate Bar
  • A Candy Cane
  • A Dog

All of these have connotations of happiness and warth we gain from interacting with them eg: food- eat it and makes us happy ( sugar) and 'dog' is a best friend!

However the words written down were a complete contrast to this! They all connoted the downsides to childhood eg: Isolation, Neglect, Mysterious etc.

This shows the drastic contrast of how Burtons films are interpreted by each individual. How certain films can infulence them as for this i didnt show any clips of Burtons films.

It was very productive as different persepctives were shown and how they mirror or contradict the ones that I myself have.

THANKS again guys =] xXx
