Presentation

Had our presentation today and I think it went fairly well. We all took our turns to talk at the start explaining our roles and our position within the group. We even got approached at the end by a couple of sound design students that would like to work on the film at the end of it so something must have gone well. Seems like it was a very good day. Below I've listed the feedback we recieved.

Mike Smith and Dan Dalli actually made a good point today when they mentioned that we could hint towards the idea of a target and give the hitman a REASON to shoot 'at' our target.

They also mentioned the pacing of the animatic needs to be worked on slightly as we are not allowing areas that need to breathe the time that they need to get the message across.
All in all I think Sam did a good job finishing off the slides. We all had creative input however Sam and I put the majority of the design layout however the work was a compilation of everybodies.

The feedback we got from it was that mainly the animatic pacing was a bit off and that the hint needed to be in there. We as an audience need to feel exactly what the hitman is feeling (or be lead moreso) and understand why he's trying to take this target out (...or save him) Rather than just a random guy in a suit whos looking a bit rough around the edges. As we went first we had the opportunity to set the standard. I think we as a group did this very well. Mike and Dave said that it was a very professional pitch and Dave even commented that he really wants to see the final product and is quite looking forward to it already. Major thumbs up there but we still have a few creases to work out.
Nathan brought up a great idea which we may well be going down the line of. He mentioned how we could use the idea of the target watching tv... and he could be on the tv considering he's supposed to be a sort of sad sack/watched up political figure or someone that knows too much (witness protection). This way it gives an insight to his background and we lead the audience. If these shots are pulled off I believe our story and script would have grown again, unfortunate for us as we have more work, but on the positive side a better story to work with and work on all round. :)
