Account of the Pitch and Feedback


I felt that our ideas in the pitch were presented very well and clearly although our teachers did pick up on a few problems which we noted for our feedback.
 
When the teachers reviewed our work and ideas for our thrillers we were given feedback in which we would have to take into account in order to improve our existing idea.
For my group our feedback consisted of:

Lose the idea of abduction fantasy and replace with another idea. A way of doing this may be to take the girl out of the equation and focus more on the Ugandan men plotting a plan.

Our idea can easily link to Kony research which has recently been in the news and was the subject of much speculation therefore this would be an interesting topic to research and possibly incorporate some of the matters into our thriller.

Possible outline of conspiracy thriller:
ACT 1 – main character discovers the conspiracy
ACT 2 – the process of revealing the conspiracy
ACT 3 – the exposure and reaction to the conspiracy

A major issue connected to our idea was the fact that the opening is set in Uganda, which consequently would be very hard for our group to film in the UK with a sense of realism.

It may just be that our idea is too much of a vast project to deal with in these circumstances. Therefore it would be wise to take the thriller from a different conspiracy angle. 

Our idea was not completely successful and we will have to return to the drawing board, they did approve of the idea but admitted that it was too big of a task to accomplish in one day. Therefore we are saving the idea for a later date. I thought the process was positive, as we worked very well as a group, which is a good start to our thriller project and it was very helpful to gain feedback from the experts of these student projects.
The feedback was not entirely positive, as we will have to return to the drawing board. The teachers did like the idea but admitted that it was too big of a task to accomplish in one day. Therefore we are saving the idea for a later date.
