Teacher Feedback on Proposal

Feedback from Miss Blackborow on 27/01/10

Good Points:
  • Audience know more than Zoe - they have power and are implicated. Sets up questions - who is the man? How will the man become part of twist?
  • Visual referencing is great. Content - audience appeal e.g. phones, technology, red signifiers
  • Familiarity and imagery
  • House practical, thought about viability. Good angles etc.
What to think about:
  • Use more media terms/language , e.g connotations, signifiers
  • Use themes more, like contemporary films
  • Name examples of consumerism, think of other films, TV shows
  • Reference other films more explicitly, especially those similar to ours, e.g. the opening of Scream (we have already included this towards the beginning of our blog, but not on the handout.)
  • Maybe the group is doing too much? Too much may be going on so the sequence may need to end sooner than anticipated.
PLAN B) We could end when Zoe hears the screams coming from upstairs. Maybe she screams? If we have too much, we can end sooner so we are able to focus more on detail - characters, build up, angles etc.
