Response to Feedback

In the feedback we recieved, we were asked about setting and questioned on the locations we are going to use. This has been an issue for myself and Nina-my team mate-that we are still having trouble deciding on. Unfortunately, living far away from college it poses a problem as we don't want anything filmed on college grounds, and we need to get to places far away fairly quickly before it gets dark. We have planned to film it at one of our houses and are still in question as to who lives in the most sufficient area that would be easily accessible and fit with the location we want to portray. We were also faced with the problems of having a long point of view shot that would show her well in the distance but from above. Eventually we decided on filming along the marine parade in Lyme regis, where we can stand in the gardens that over look the walkway and film it from on top of there.
Another limitation we were presented with in our feedback is getting actors/actresses that can portray the atmosphere we are trying to create by pulling off the right emotion in their acting abilities. We have decided to try and use people from the drama department who already have experience in acting and will know what to do better than someone who has never done it before. They will also be less camera shy, having been on stage enough times to cope with stage fright.

We were told that our strengths were that we have really thought about the gender representation we are trying to portray which I agree with as we want our male character to appear tall and powerful whilst the female appears weak and vulnerable, highlighting the stereotypes that focus around masculinity and femininity.
As well as this, our feedback stated that the narrative we decided to use related to every day occurences that people need to be more aware of which was what Nina and I initially planned to do. We wanted to make a trailer that would portray societal morals that people should have a higher awarity of and in this case, its stalking which is becoming increasingly common nowadays expecially with the constant increase in Web 2.0
