We chose a number of questions as a group to ask them about various movies, magazines and how much they notice they take when they consider films to watch. Myself Patrick Hone, Michael McGinley, James Penny, Claudia Otim and Phil Platt all participated in note taking and asking questions. In the first set of questions asked, James Penny took the lead in asking most of the questions, whilst Phil took notes.
