FOCUS GROUP QUESTIONS

Emily: The main idea of my short film is an elderly woman called


Evie recovering from a post-surgery illness, which is causing her to
have these flashbacks. She remembers the highlights of her life
from when she was a child up until her present age. Throughout the
film the time will flicker from past to present Evie. Im still yet to
decide on a ending for the film, I have a couple ideas however I
want to hear you original ideas before I elaborate with mine.
1. Can you suggest a suitable ending to my film?
2. Have you seen a film that touches on the key themes of life or
death? Or that use of flashbacks to tell a story? (If they are
unable to think of a film prompt them with these films: The
tree of life, Boyhood, Forest Gump, Seven pounds, Memento
and Pulp fiction. What interested you about these films?
3. Do you feel it is necessary to include dialogue? Explain why?
4. What style of music would expect to see in this short film? E.g.
Instrumental, minor key, slow tempo.
5. Can you brainstorm an appropriate name for the short film?
6. Can you name 5 highlights youd personally want to see in
Evies memories?
7. What is the method best to show the audience clearly that the
memory is in the past and not present?
8. What do feel needs to be included in order for this film to be
successful?
