Audience feedback on story ideas, proposed characters and scenes - Eve

During our initial ideas several people we questioned about our idea to do with a dramatic twist and several characters being included in this idea however; after thinking it through as a group and discussing it with our two teachers we have decided to use a different idea. Most of the people we asked, parents, friends and teachers thought the first idea might not work so well; by having a lot of characters it may get confusing they pointed out and by having to film in Brighton it may make things difficult with arranging filming times with the group because of us having work schedules and other college work to complete. 


We have decided to go with a second idea that was put together last week, after all contributing to the spider diagram and note taking process when first thinking up the idea we have no worked out a suitable and what we hope to be successful short film. After again asking parents, friends, other media students and teachers we have come up with a list of pros and cons they have given us to make sure we can work on to improve before the mistakes are made:
Pro's of the new idea 

• If filmed and completed well, many thought the film sounded witty and entertaining
• Many really liked the idea of having him doing a video blog
• By having the shots of him during his real life it will emphasise the fact of loneliness and the audience will sympathise with him, getting them more involved with the film
• Not having so many characters will be less confusing
• The film will be fairly easy to film therefore, it will hopefully have a good outcome as a successful short film and piece of Media A2 coursework

Con's of the new idea 

• Getting the main actor to look genuinely sad/happy at the appropriate times will be hard therefore, the group must work hard to find a suitable actor
• Using a correct webcam that will allow us to capture the detail and successful footage we need for our film
