Today we had to present our initial ideas to the class and Helen. We went in alphabetical order which meant I was in the middle. When it was my turn, Helen had to step out of a while leaving Simon to take over, I didn't mind this change, however I really wanted Helen to hear my idea as I wanted to hear what she thought about it as she's making us and not Simon. I presented my idea to Simon, I was a little nervous so I don't present it the way that I wanted. As a result of this I didn't tell my idea as clearly as I wanted to, which left a few people confused. Also I only had my story plot fully developed and didn't know what all my characters were going to be like.
Simon's feedback was to make sure I knew fully who my characters are as he said, once you know that you can put them in any scenario and you'll know how they would respond to that scenario. I took this into consideration as I knew that this had to be done. He also said I need to consider locations and make sure they fit for the scene. Again I knew that I had to do that in order to fully understand my scenes and know the potential of what I can do in them.
From that feedback I knew that I have a lot to do, I need to fully understand each and every character in my story, so that I can use what I know about them and make more interesting plots and scenarios in my story. Furthermore I will look carefully into location which I can film my scene in. I need to make sure that the locations I pick, perfectly fit the scene and scenario on the scene, this way I can take full advantage of the location and make the scene look good.
After this I went to Helen and asked if I could speak to her about me idea as I still wanted her input. We went into a room and I pitched my idea again to her, this time I was more relaxed and pitched the idea more clearly and fully with our mission anything out.
Helen was very pleased with my development from the last time I spoke to her, when I hardly an idea. She said again to make sure I know who my characters are and locations.
Overall I am very pleased with the feedback which I got from both Simon and Helen, as they both helped me to understand what I needed to do and where I needed to go, in order to finalise my story.
