Group Feedback

After completing and presenting our group film pitches, everybody in the class had to fill out review sheets, giving us feedback on clear genre, target audience, why it will be interesting, character, setting, mood, style, enigma, similar films/ inspirations and any other film advice or concerns. By receiving these sheets, it allowed us to gain a further understanding from an audience point of view, of how our film will come across and seem. We wanted to know whether the idea and concept was appropriate to our chosen genre. However, since giving our group film pitch, we have changed our ideas further, meaning the genre too.

These are our feedback results on average:

What is the genre? Is it clear? -  Action/ Thriller. The genre was very clearly stated because they said would be a heist film which would include lots of fighting and thrilling action. This easily gives off the perception of an Action/Thriller.

Who is the target audience and why would they pay to see it? - The target audience is for over 15's. They would pay to see it because it includes a good story line, and lots of action. This would be the perfect audience for the film because teens love films that have non-stop action and a male gaze. If we could manage to push the age down to 12A we would have a wider target audience. By having it as a 12A it means more people can come watch the film which would lead to more ticket sales.

Does it introduce character and setting? - Yes, it introduces the whole crew in the opening scene. You get to see the leader Megan who controls them. You then have the two subordinate. You then also have James who is individual to the rest of the group. This is shown because he wears the blue jumper instead of the black jumper everyone else.
Is the narrative interesting? Does it create enigma? - Yes, the narrative is interesting, represents our everyday lives, and shows Sam's life. It also shows enigma because you want to find out why Sam is lying on the floor.. What will happen to him?.... What happened to Sam's Father?... What will happen in the army?.... What happens to Sam's Mother?

What films is it similar to? - War films like Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, Beginning section like Run All Night.

Comments/ advice to make it better- Try to have less happening. But overall really good idea.
