Focus group

Here is a the focus group video which we have done with the opening of Terminator Genesis:

How we expected, the opinion of the public towards a sequel of a film  many people consider to be one of the best sci fi films in history was a positive one. With ratings of 10 and 8, we can say that many people enjoyed the trailer (most likely because of nostalgia).

Due to all the fast paced action, epic music and loud noises there was an effect of excitement instantly created and this makes the viewers want to watch the movie, as well as the plot being sort of mysterious which gets the public intrigued and wanting to know what happens in the actual movie. But this exact thing is also a problem because the old noises and action scenes can be cliches and that can get tedious to watch because people are already able to guess what is going to happen throughout the movie and therefore they won't like to spend money to watch it. However, the editing makes up for it with really smooth cuts and good CGI.

The use of flashbacks at the beginning is also a bit overused but there is people that don't like it as well as people that do. And something that we found out is that people usually don't like it when the movie starts with a black screen and rather see the title because is less boring.
And the people we interviewed actually believe that the movie is pretty realistic and that this could be the future for the world, which is something many people like because the realism allows them to relate to the characters. And surprisingly some people think that this film's idea of a future in which the world is fighting for survival against robots can be optimistic, but everyone has got their opinion.
