I have created a focus group on Facebook in the form of an event that lasts for a month. I invited students and colleagues, and asked specifically how the website can be made more attractive for continuous use. This is what I posted:
My thesis is called "DIY: What Can I Do?". Basically instead of creating one film about the environment, I want to teach and encourage hundreds of other filmmakers to post videos, photography, poetry, all with an environmental theme.
But I need a group of motivated, fun and brilliant students to help. (that's you guys)
I would like to invite all of you to participate in a focus group where all of you post ideas, comments and suggestions on how to make this website something you would be interested in contributing to on a consistent basis. I will be sending the invitation shortly.
To tell you more about the website, again it is called "DIY: What Can I Do?"
It is a main website linked to a number of other websites (facebook, youtube, 12 seconds, etc.) that host video content. On "DIY: WCID" I will post how-to videos on how to create and edit environmental films and count on the users to make their own videos about the environment.
These can be your own films, or I can create video challenges like "what else can we use a plastic bottle for" where you would create a video response.
Again, what I am looking for is how to make this site exciting, and something that you would visit on a continuous basis to create fun videos that will help the environment.
