Applied Media Research

Heres a catch up of what we have done in our applied media research module, we had our focus group. We used two ballot boxes and five questions as we planned in previous sessions. I decided I would take my own personal iPad into university for the focus group, which I allowed the volunteers taking part in our focus group to use. Before we started the focus group we where a little unsure on what apps we where going to use, so myself phoebe and michael decided to pay for the ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ and also ‘The Million Pound Drop’ so that we can play whenever instead of waiting for TV show to come back on the television. For our focus group we decided, we would ask six people, three would play the million pound drop and three would play the who wants to be a millionaire. While each volunteer played the apps we noticed that the volunteers were nervous while playing them, and also that there was a number of people wanting to watch the volunteers and also join in with them helping with answers. Overall I really enjoyed our focus group, I enjoyed watching people joining together to help out and also to see how people reacted when loosing the game. Most reacted the same way as I would if I was playing myself. 

Once I upload the pictures from my camera to the PC, I will most definitely upload them here for you to see.
