Feedback from blog posts






From Marisa's comments on my blog i am now motivated to keep my work up in order to gain as may marks as i can , due to missed work i can now see why i misunderstood certain parts, for example analysing a trailer instead of a title.

Planning: Pitch Feedback

The feedback from our film mainly stated that we were thorough and were very detailed.

We needed to improve by all speaking equally rather than one or two of us taking over. Furthermore we needed to reflect more of what our film was about. In addition a more focused Target Audience.

As a group we decided that we will be adding some posters and thinking about marketting for our film to increase awareness of what the film may be about. We also decided that we should improve our target audience and focus our film more towards 14-16 year olds.
