Do you think the trailer gives away too much on the movie?
From this question I gathered that everyone thought the trailer had some detail but not too much. Also, they told me that they liked the trailer having some detail on the cast and a bit about the film as it got their attention. However, what really caught their eyes from the trailer was the actors involved in the movie. They went on to say that the cast is what makes them want to watch films.
Generally, what movie genres are you interested in?
Everyone said they enjoyed action films, but were not certain on their answer of comedy. They said it depended on what kind of comedy film it is. Someone said that certain comedies are too childish and the it is too turned down. From this I understood that everyone in the focus group enjoys movies aimed for adults.
Do you think the storyline was told in a poorly manner?
The first response I got was that the director Martin Scorsese done really well with this movie and he did a good job of bringing together great actors and they found found this the best part of the movie, the bringing together of so many known actors. This told me that they liked movies with all stars and good directing. This is because they felt as though the right cast and crew help develop the movie properly.
What scene did you dislike?
They found that the last part of the movie was too rushed and found it overwhelming to take in so much happening at the same time. From their response I gathered that they felt that it kind of dimmed the movie down too much. I think they felt like too much happening as well as the good character dying right at the end of the movie in a way spoilt it. This told me that they would have rather the movie move onto a sequel and carry the movie on with a an extension on the plot.
What did you like about this movie?
Literally everyone said Leonardo Dicaprio is why they liked this movie. However, other than his acting skills, I gathered that they felt the general story line is what hooked them into the movie. They liked the fact that every single bit of the movie somehow links back together. However, once again it comes back to the cast. Due to Leonardo Dicaprio being involved with the movie, they enjoyed it even more than they would have if he wasn't in it.
What did you think about the twist at the end?
They found that Leonardo Dicaprio's character dying was unnecessary, as well as the fact that the ending was rushed overall. Too much happened in one go for everyone to process it so quickly. Also I think everyone disliked the ending as they knew much more could have been done with the plot such as a sequel and carry the storyline on.
Do you think the poster clearly showed what genre the movie was?
Everyone said no, as the poster lacked detail and just faces on it. They said they wouldn't have guessed it was an action film just by looking at the poster of the movie.
Our focus group really enjoyed the movie and speaking on it. They liked the directing of the movie and found that it is due to the director that the story line was portrayed in such a great way. They found the coming together of many A-List actors the main eye catcher as it meant they get to watch their favourite stars working together in a film. However, it was the ending of the movie that they disliked. This was due to it being to rushed and felt as though more could
