Focus group meeting with participants Diego and Andreia.
Overall the meeting was a success; having watched popular soaps already, such as Eastenders and Coronation Street, Andreia and Diego believe that our soap fits into the soap opera genre, having followed many of its conventions.
They liked the social realism aspect of the soap particularly, including topics such as teenage pregnancies. However, as a group we have to ensure that some of these story lines do not appear to be ‘cliché’.
The use of characters was one of the main topics covered as it was suggested that the soap stereotypes can sometimes be ‘predictable’ and therefore there must be a ‘good balance’ within the soap to make it more unique. Also, tragic characters should be included to trigger emotions from the audience in which they can can relate to.
In response to Andreia and Dieago's focus group answers, as a group we need to add more twists to the soap as this is something that is re-occurred when asking our focus group so this is definitely an aspect which we will need to work on.
