Feedback

The feedback we received for our presentation included positive and negative aspects, I feel this feedback will help us with the future of our film Mr.Teddy because it presented to us our good ideas and the improvements we need to make, whether that be with our themes, casting, budget etc.

The negative feedback included the budget and how it may be to large and ambitious, but  fortunately my group did a wide range of research to form our budget getting figures from films similar to ours, including; Get Smart and Johnny English. We also considered the budget of the actors playing the main roles E.g. Eddie Murphy in which we looked into their average income for each film. Overall we did not feel the need to improve our budget as we felt it was a good estimate, giving all the research we had previously done and the accuracy presented through it.

Another negative feedback was what our film consisted of, people felt it was to predictable and had been done before, however my group was happy with our idea and the narrative as we wanted to follow a traditional story in the genre we had chosen. We understand that we need a selling point and this is within the cast we have chosen; although the cast was another negative point in which people didn't feel it was right to include to main comedians, playing two main roles; they thought it just wouldn't work. But our main idea for selecting these actors was to have a 'dumb and dumber' feel, this would create twice the humorous atmosphere with both characters bringing there own personality, while presenting the characters in which we want them to portray; therefore we did not feel there was a major reason to redevelop our cast list and felt happy with our decisions, we are hoping they will bring double the smiles and laughter.

The negative comment referring to 'too many underlying themes' was gladly appreciated because when looking over our PowerPoint we could understand the point, we felt it would be quite difficult to present all these themes in one film because it would create confusion about the whole atmosphere/tone of our nuclear family film; to improve this aspect we are going to narrow our themes down and limit the ones we represent to create a well structured film in which everyone will enjoy and understand.

The positive feedback was absorbed well as it reinforced our idea's and inspired us to consider improvements, it also gave us confidence in our future film.
