Major Project Presentation from Mark Cooper
This powerpoint presentation was created for mine and Charlie's presentation to pitch the idea for our major project. This slideshow was used during our pitch to demonstrate certain points. We presented our idea to our group and tutors, and received some very useful feedback which I believe will help improve our final film.
The main points of feedback here are:
The Title
It seems that most people liked the working title "inoculum", due to the fact that it is quite a vague title, but sounds like "inoculation", which gives a very loose idea of what will happen in the film.
The Genre
In another blog, (and the pitch presentation) I described how there were two kinds of sci-fi, Soft sci-fi and Hard sci-fi. Simon, my tutor explained that he would consider the Soft-Scifi genre, and our film to be mor of a "psuedo-science" genre. I may begin to use this term to describe our film rather than Soft-scifi, as I believe it does in fact give a clearer idea of the kind of material our film contains.
Abigail's Age
Something that was brought up was the character Abigail's age. Originally, I wanted for Abigail to be portrayed by a little girl, as I believe that it would add some depth and make the story more powerful, as it would be a lot harder for Abigail's parents to decide whether to end her life or not if she was very young.
It was recommended that we change Abigail's age from being a small child, to a teenager, as working with a child would be very difficult, as we would have to arrange CRB checks, chaperones, and make sure that the child was working reasonable hours etc. This makes sense to me from a technical standpoint, and as such I feel it would be much wiser for myself and Charlie to seek out a teenager who looks relatively young to play the part of Abigail instead.
Our Roles
Something that was of concern for our tutors was the amount of roles myself and Charlie have given ourselves. It was advised that we seek our other people to help with out project, rather than trying to handle it all ourselves. This is perfectly understandable, and we will definitely look into getting some crew together to help us in the production phase of our film.
All in all, I feel that the feedback we received was incredibly useful. Most, if not all of it was concerns about the technical nature of our film, as opposed to the storyline. People seemed to understand the general concept of the film we pitched, and there didn't seem to be anybody that was majorly confused by the ideas we pitched.
I feel that as long as we concentrate on keeping the technical aspects of our film as simple and easy to pull off as possible, we will have no problem completing it.
