Presentation

Once we had our idea, we had to do a group presentation in front of the class. In this presentation, we explained our plot, talked about our choice of actor and then went on to mention our key signifiers and location. We made handouts to give out as an information sheet:

Overall, the meeting went really well and I think we explained the main parts of our ideas and got across the points that we wanted to make. Our proposal got signed off allowing us to get started on the major planning for the up and coming shoot. The main feedback which we received in regards to the presentation were:


Positives:

• As an audience, we get to have greater overall power than Zoe as we see the masked and she does not. There are questions that begin to be asked such as who is this mystery person? and what role will he play in the film?
• Great visual references with the signifiers e.g the red objects. Strong audience appeal with technology of the phone and familiarity of the location- family home.
• Location is very practical and the explanation of this was positive. Will not be affected by weather, can control lighting and there is a wide possibility for different angles.

What to think about:

• Make sure the group use media terms more often e.g connotations.
• Mention key themes and how this links to the film genre.
• Refer to other film examples on the handout to re-iterate the points that we are making.
• Think about the possibility of ending the opening sequence at an earlier point incase we are doing too much.
