Focus group response - QUESTION 2

QUESTION 2 - WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT THE USE OF THE NARRATIVE GENRE IN THE MUSIC PROMO?

PARTICIPANT 1.

I like that when it is a narrative you can watch the story as well as listening to the story so you can more easily understand the lyrics. I like this because it causes more of a relationship between the song and the audience.

PARTICIPANT 2.

My favourite thing about the use of narrative was that it is easy to watch more than once because if you are watching a video of just a person singing or something then it gets boring to watch. Whereas there is more to this than a song and this makes you want to watch it again and listen to the song again and grow a love for the song.

PARTICIPANT 3.

I liked the video because it brings you closer to the artists feelings by using things like going really close up on Gwen Stefanis face when she's smiling and this allows you to understand that, that part of the song is happy and you can feel the same emotion she feels.

PARTICIPANT 4.

One thing I liked about the use of narrative is that it is very closely linked to the lyrics in the song.

PARTICIPANT 5.

I liked that the narrative really tells the story of the song but it doesn't just do this through two people acting it out it has Gwen singing in it to help tell the story at the same time and it also uses technical things like camera angles to help show us the emotion of the lyrics.
