Evaluation of my focus group and other primary research

My discussion group was very insightful and productive. They all had opinions on the subject and seemed very passionate about what they were saying. There tended to be a an agreement that main stream American youth cinema presented an unrealistic picture of it as "perfect" and "over the top". However, they also suggested from watching the trailer of "Thirteen" that maybe this wasn't a realistic portrayal either. They felt that it was maybe an extreme at the other end of High School Musical.

Recently, I posted a similar structure of questions onto "IMDB" to obtain the opinions of American youths on Youth representation in American cinema. However, it proved to be a fruitless project to date. Therefore, to heighten my chances i posted the same questions onto an alternative website called "Rotten Tomatoes". However, to have more chance of reply, I changed the layout to make it as simple as i could for people to answer.E.G By numbering the questions as opposed to bullet pointing them. so they could refer back to the question number when replying.
