In class me and my group presented our treatment and script to the class and teachers and we recieved a variety of comments they liked the fact that our film had a strong message and theme however there was things that we could change for the better.
Main Character: At first the main character being abused would be a female but there was some comments about how the main charcter being a girl is too typical and how we could change that stereotype to a boy since even though child abuse is rare on males it still happeneds. So that gave us something to think about.
Our Focus: In our film we had the idea of the main character being abused both at home and at school, however considering that it is a short film and we only have 5 minutes both the abuse at home and school maybe too much. So we decided as a group to just focus on the parent abuse at home.
Our audience: The teachers thought that we had to pay more attention to our target audience more, because we used a couple of swear words and graphic imagery which maybe too much for the audience that we wanted to attract. So we decided to steer away from the swearing and the graphic imagery to be more suitable for our audience which is teenagers aged 16-20.
Our message: our main message was 'for people to speak out when facing abuse' and our film didnt really bring that message across since all you saw was the girl hanging herself at the end with not much explaination why. So that needs to be brought out more.
So the feedback was very helpful in making our film better and more suitable for our audience.
