Group: Audience Feedback on the Pitch

Approved Ideas

- Detail on storyboard

It was easy to visualise the exact shots we wanted to achieve due to the picture sketched on the storyboard & the details written beneath each shot.

- Urban location

Again, the location was easy to visualise because most of the group had seen Misfits (Crowe, 2010) and understood the industrial look we are trying to achieve. The group also agreed that this was a very unique location which didn't follow the generic locations for horror openings (woods or fields at night).

- Informative pitch

The Prezi was informative, understandable and professional and really aided to visualising our opening and presenting our ideas and evaluations in an interesting way.

- Twixtor & Special FX

The group really enjoyed the example of the Twixtor video to present what it can do and how professional it can look. They also thought that the use of special effects would make the opening much more cinematic - more like a film and less like a media project.

Points to Consider

- Infected people

The group were unsure how we could differentiate the uninfected from the infected (the zombies from the protagonist). However we explained that we were going to make the eyes of the infected fully black as if they have incredibly large pupils and reiterated that we were going to use prosthetic make-up.

- Content

Is the content enough to set the scene and create a tense atmosphere? We are thinking about developing the plot further from just the protagonist waking up and moving on, and adding in a chase scene would definitely add to the tension.

- News Reports

How can we record the news reports to make them sound believable & professional? We are going to use the school studio to record many layers of reports and we will use different people to get varied reporter voices.
