Students comments:
#Comments on suitability for stated target audience- 11 out of 14 students said we chose a suitable target audience and said that it was good how we are using the main character to relate to the target audience. However some people said the target audience is to wide and that the drama should be aired during school time as well. Taking this into consideration we might narrow the target audience a little from 5-11 maybe to 8-11. However doing this will mean losing a large proportion of our target audience which we do not want as we will lose a lot of profit. Also showing the Children's TV Drama before school finishes would mean losing over 2/3 of our viewers which we cant risk so we will stick with showing the drama just after school finishes.
#Comments on the originality of the idea- 12 out of 14 students said they think the idea is very original and mixing Lego animation with real people is a very strong original idea. This for us is the green light to go forward with the idea as it is very positive feedback. However two students said the plot sounds a little bit complicated for a young target audience. This is a fair point and with this in mind we may twist the plot a little bit by taking the "super hero" out of it to make it more simple.
#Comments and thoughts on the logistical arrangements- 11 out of 14 students said we are organised and have good logistical arrangements. last years coursework I was very good with logistical arrangements and I wanted to maintain that strength this year which I think I achieve achieved. However three students said how are we going to get permission to film in Nunnery Wood High School. We have already thought about this and told them we will be sending them letter asking if we can film there outside school hours during half term which they thought was a good idea.
#Comments on the technical aspects of the idea- Every student said the idea is achievable with the equipment were using which is a huge positive for us as it shows we are organised and know what were doing because we have already planned and thought about what equipment were using and whether we can access it. However 5 students were a little bit concerned with time management. They thought we might not be able to finish before the deadline. We have also thought about this but no if we buckle down and put a lot of time into it over the next few weeks we can get it done. Time Management is not an issue to us.
#comments on whether the idea sound realistic- Every student said the idea was realistic and achievable as we have put a lot of thought into market research within the pitch. Like I said above this means a lot to me and my partner and we will definitely stick with the idea were going for. However linked with these comments a few students think it will be hard to make a Lego person turn into a real person. We know this will be hard to do and it probably wouldn't be achievable just using jump cuts. This is why we are using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 on the computer to help us make the scenes more realistic.
#Comments on how exciting the idea is- Every student thought our idea was exciting and there was no negative feedback about whether it was interesting. Most of them said if they were the target audience they would watch it as its different and interesting. This is what we were aiming to do, create a plot that will attract the target audience because its so different and interesting so we are really happy with the feedback.
Overall the feedback we received from the rest of the class were around 90% positive so we are really grateful and know we are going in the right direction with this idea. We have taken all comments on the chest and will think about them carefully as we don't want to slip up at this stage. At the moment our idea is coming on leaps and bounds we just have to maintain this.
Our teacher Tristan also gave us feedback after we presented the pitch. His comments weren't like the students as he only spoke about what we need to do to improve our idea. He said we will need to write a letter to Nunnery Wood High School asking for permission to use the school for filming. We told him we already thought about writing a letter and he also said to write a letter to Lego asking if we can use its product in our film, which we also told him we will be doing. He said his friends made a Children's TV Drama using "jellybabies", they were allowed to call it jellybabies in the USA but because its copyright in the UK they had to change the name to jellykins and he didn't want us having the same problem if we never contacted Lego. He asked us where will we be filming the Lego animation and we told him we will be booking to photography studio which he thought was good place as its quiet and has lighting equipment. Finally he told us he was worried about our time management. He told us if we want to make the drama achievable we have to start quickly and use the time wisely, which we intend to do.
After receiving all these comments we are sticking to our idea and pushing forward full throttle.
