Group pitch evaluation

We were told to present our short film pitch to the class so that we could gain some feedback. It also gave us the chance to ask for ideas or anything that we could add to our short film to make it more appealing. During this session, we were asked to clarify certain aspects of how the film worked, for example, we were asked if the stereotypes would offend any of the audience. We answered this by saying that that was part of the concept of the film, in the sense that we are showing the audience that you shouldn’t ‘judge a book by its cover’ as our characters will show who they really are towards the end. This will also teach a moral to the audience.  We were given good feedback and was told that the story line was good and had some purpose to it. As well as good feedback, we were given constructive criticism, for example, we were told to be careful with how we portray the stereotypes in order to not deeply offend anyone. It was also said that we need to develop how the three characters in our film relate to each other.  We took this feedback on board and after the class discussion, we took time to focus on how to entwine the three characters together and how they would cross paths. Overall, presenting our pitch to the class was beneficial as it helped us to work harder on the film production.
