Group: Pitch Feedback

 

Feedback:

• They liked the idea of a 'normal' looking family, but they are actually psychologically deranged. This aids our idea of them being unexacting antagonists. They also liked how the antagonist is an anomaly-style character.
• We achieved technical excellence through our clear and specific identification of shots that we are going to aim to use.
• They approved of our suggested location of a basement, and thought it was very appropriate for our plot.
• The title (Flesh) was also regarded as being appropriate and also attention-grabbing, and works well with our storyline.
• The final piece of feedback was the idea to amplify certain diegetic sounds, such as increasing the volume of the sizzling meat when we do the extreme close-up shot, they thought this would be very effective and contributes to the idea that they are a 'normal' family.

Targets:

• Firstly, despite the feedback suggesting that the ideas for the characters were good, they didn't agree with the casting and the ages of the people we had decided to cast. This made us re-evalute the effectiveness of using a cast that are our age. This prompted us to look into casting people who are older, perhaps our parents, therefore this will make our plot more realistic and professional.
• Another problem that they suggested was the large size of the cast, we will have the crew with 4 members, and then a cast of 6 members. They suggested that such a large cast could be hard to direct and achieve an effective finish, however our chosen cast have acting experience and we feel we can easily achieve a good outcome, despite the amount of people on set.
• Secondly, we also looked at our suggested location (the school basement) and we looked at the practicality, for example, filming during the holidays would be very restricted. This inspired us to look for other possible filming locations, and we have successfully found a suitable house in which we can use both the basement and kitchen. This means we can be more lenient when it comes to filming and also it will look more realistic (by using only one location).
