1. Do you enjoy listening to Britpop music? 2. What do you particularly like about the music? 3. What are your opinions on the song 'Wonderwall'? 4. If you've seen the music video for Wonderwall, what do you like about it? 5. What do you think is key in order to replicate a successful Britpop music video? 6. Do you think there should be a narrative story throughout the music video?   During our meeting, we decided that it would be a good idea to form a focus group so we can ask our target audience personally what they think of our song choice and what we can include on order to make it more appealing and create a professional look.

They originated as ‘The Rain’ then Noel told Liam to let him join the band.
