At an early stage of the preliminary work, I held a focus group
in order to find two things out; what the title of my magazine and what the genre of my magazine should be. I filmed the responses of my focus group as they answered my questions. I ensured that as my target audience was white teenage girls, that I mainly interviewed them. When I asked the first question What should my magazine be called? I gave them a list of possible names. They all thought that The Buzz was the best title for the magazine as they said it made the magazine seem very energetic. I then asked them What genre of music should it focus? Two people said Rock while all the others said Pop would be the best genre as it is the genre that appeals most to them. I was hesitant about doing Pop as it is a hard genre to express in the magazine but I decided to go along with what the focus group had said.
