Diary Entry Monday 18th

 Today our group had a teams call with Matt to present our idea. We had a 20 minute time slot to do this and in this time we got feedback. 

We talked about how we came up with the idea, and I said how I wanted characters to all be in union and how Tatum and Nosa liked the idea of dolls so we combined the idea and developed from there...

When we presented our idea, some of the feedback we got back was that it was too much. We had come up with an idea for a tv show or a full movie and when we were asked where the film would go after the two minute sequence we found it hard to finish the idea. 

Our sequence was like an episode of "twilight zone"

"A very visual and detailed idea"

We were including too much information and giving too much away too soon- the audience wouldn't feel the need to watch much more, and wouldn't feel the need to stick around for the rest of the film.

It would also be difficult to cast someone as the grandma character- but we had already assumed this and had come up with back up plans. 

The whole sequence fit into the 'action' categories for a whole film so we would need to make some changes.

Some suggestions we got was maybe stick to the same 'base' of the idea, but leave things out as we were giving too much away. Possibly just have a few shots of going through the windows, and just glimpses of things. Also leaving questions unanswered. 

Our group will now have a few discussions and will discuss in tomorrow lives teams session with Becky. 

After our teams call we had a group facetime call to decide where to go next.
