Feedback on our Film Pitch - Jaleesa

The feedback in which we received from our film pitch was both positive as well as negative which allowed us to rethink about the possible changes we could make to our film production. After pitching our film to a group of students, we were told that our setting for the film wasn't all that realistic and that the casting for our film would be a bit hard to find due to the characters that they would have to portray. As a group we had to sit down and reconsider what our narrative would be due to us having to change the characters. Even though it did take up a lot of time and effort into developing our narrative, as a group we realised that we would have to change our entire storyline as it was very unlikely that these new characters would fit in with our old narrative. As a result of having to change our storyline, we would also have to consider changing the title of our film due to our old one not blending in with our new narrative.

After taking into consideration all of what I learnt about our film based on what others think and discussing with my group the ways in which I think we could change it, I have summarised it into 5 EBI's and 5 NBS's which are based on what we can change within our film and how we can improve our film.

Even Better If...

* We change the narrative of our film.

* We change the characters.

* We change the setting.

* We focus on the certification of our film.

* We ensure that our film appeals to both genders.

Next Best Steps...

* Come up with a new storyline.

* Come up with a new title.

* Think about the characters that we will use, to ensure that our film appeals to both genders and that it brings in our target audience.

* Think of the setting for our film which will appear as being realistic as well as being able to relate well with our narrative.

* Think of a range of shots we could use in order to show the characters' facial expressions and body language.
