Feedback from powerpoint presentation breif

This afternoon we presented our ideas for our film opening to the class, we told them our main idea, which would be to create a horror/zombie film. The feedback we got agreed with our own ideas that we had about the advantages and disadvantages, this is what was concluded:

Advantages

• A wide range of storylines, allows us to be creative,
• You can use a wide variety of locations to shoot the opening
• The film would be open for a wide audience

Disadvantages

• Makeup: Characters would need to look like zombies, it would have to be realistic and it would be difficult keeping the makeup looking consistant throughout the filming.

This is what we had already discussed prior to the presentation so it backed up our initial ideas. The group thought that the locations around peterborough would be useful for the type of film we wanted to do (e.g, lots of small woodland areas, rural areas, buildings - all these acceptable for a horror film) since the genre has a wide use of locations.
The group generally agreed with our idea, saying that they were interested in horror movies which seems to be a popular movie choice.
Although there was a worry about makeup, I am positive that this will not be a major problem and makeup allows us to be creative and overall not much is needed.
From the feedback we have settled on the plotline that a virus has spread, causing the victims to become zombies, and the main character will be the one with the cure. We shall use a mixture of handheld filming, where the character will appear to be creating a video diary of the events (this can show POV shots and a range of establishing shots and close ups of the character) and we can also film the character filming himself/the zombies as they chase him.

Overall the conclusion was that the rest of the class agreed with out idea, and the feedback was positive, which is good for us as we do not have to rethink our idea or change the storyline.
