Pitch Feedback

After we pitched our film idea and planning to our class and teacher we received feedback both positive and constructive.
The class thought that the idea of the film was well constructed and thought out with a good narrative. They felt that the way we were going to construct the opening sequence was clever and creative however they found that it could be hard to understand the photos and newspaper articles that are going to be used in the sequence. This means that we will have to make it obvious what each picture is and the pictures should be big and bold for the audience to see.
They also commented that it could be difficult and time consuming to create a montage of the shots. For this to work we will have to plan and manage our time well and use the camera time efficiently. We will have to film lots of different shots to make sure we have enough footage to create a 2 minute clip. We will also have to find time to create the photos as we will not be able to create them during lesson time. This means distributing responsibilities throughout the group to make sure everything is done before the filming begins.
Another criticism of the film is that the narrative may not be very clear in the opening sequence. For this to work we will have to make sure the shots explain what is happening clearly as there will not be much dialogue in the sequence. This means again clear pictures, possibly with labels/names to outline the characters the murderer is going to kill.
They also commented that we need to make sure the location we use (Jasmines Garage) is ready for filming and that we have permission from her parents to be there.
Overall the comments we received were positive and constructive, increasing our confidence with the narrative and idea we have created. We feel that these comments will help us improve the idea we have and will make sure our planning and preparation for our filming is more detailed and accurate. As a result our continuity will be better and the film will seem more realistic to the audience.
