1. Task 8 – Focus Group
For this task, I am going to ask a small range of people, who have an
interest in pop/chart music, extended questions which focus more on what
they’d like to see within a pop/chart genre magazine. My plan is to ask a
variety of students in the hope that they’ll give me a specific idea on what I
should include within the pop/chart genre music magazine to attract that
type of audience…
The questions I plan to ask are the following:
What specific images/image would you like to see featured on the front
cover?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Furthermore, what images would tend to attract you?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
What coverlines/sell lines on the front coverwould interest or attract
you?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
……………………………………………………………………………………………………...
What colour scheme would you think best suits this genre music or like
to see within the front cover and throughout the magazine?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
What articles within the magazine would interest you the most?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………

2. Task 8 – Focus Group
My music magazine is based on pop/chart music, therefore, do you think
any of the following would be a suitable name for my magazine:

………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
What type of language do you think will be most appropriate, formal or
informal?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
