In lesson we presented our pitch for our short film to our class. After presenting it I asked questions to them to see what they felt about and they asked me questions about what they think I could do to improve my film. One idea they said which i liked was to make a rather big age gap between my characters; meaning make the General an older man and the officer a young adult/late teen. this is because they said most young people say that they are anti-war while older people would say they are the opposite. I like this idea as it will go well with the anti-war theme, I will try and add this to my film by getting an older person to act in the film or just to get someone to look older than they are. they were also other ideas i liked such as different ways of adding some anti-war poetry into the film such as adding it into the dialog between the two characters.

Here is a schedule of when I am planning on filming for my short film. I have set it in a colour scheme to make it easier to read. The dates in red are days I am not able to film as I am busy; the days in blue are days I am hoping on getting all my filming done this week is during half-term so I have a lot of free time to do it. If I don't get everything filmed in this period the date in yellow  are free days I can finish filming on but there is a little chance that I will need these days.

In this pitch I discuss: Concepts Narrative Characters Setting/locations/era Costume and props Lighting Target Audience Themes
