Responce to Feedback

Your pitch was presented effectively using slides to outline ideas. You communicate well as a team and seem to have developed roles within the group.
I like the idea of an interrogation and it offers opportunities to explore lighting and mise en scene in a short scene. One concern was how this would be a short film  as it reflects the tropes of dram on TV. However, you explained how this would be overcome effectively.  Ideas such as use of colour sound interesting, make these clear.  Your answers revealed a depth of thought about the narrative which allayed any fears about the genre and medium.

Be realistic about where you film this. It is ambitious to use the library and keep e-mail communication to show planning. 

Why use a Go Pro?  Explain what different cameras bring to the style of the piece.

Can you publish a first draft of the script on the blog?

Comment on audience feedback received as part of the pitch. You will need this later for the evaluation.

Outline the roles allocated within the group.
We have thought about the response from the initial pitch and have decided to go with a different idea, one that would be more effective portrayed as a short film. It will have a stronger narrative, which would need less explaining as the previous idea. The setting we plan to use will also be easier to obtain, as we will be using a house as the setting. However, as we have gone for a new idea, the new script is still being written. The main thing we learned from audience feedback is that people struggled to see the idea as a short film, as it seemed to much like part of a TV show. This will be avoided with our new idea, which will be a horror. The new roles for this are allocated in the production schedule.
