Group Meeting and Pitch

We met this morning as a group before our pitch so everyone understood clearly what  our idea was as it is understandably difficult to communicate fully what everyone's opinions are over the internet. Although it was commented on that the idea didn't seem fully formed, we are all happy that we at least have one. Jamie had a brilliant idea in regard to the editing; by adding some water colour animation once we introduce the loss of the marbles, and the main character finding them, which I think could work brilliantly if we start planning it early on.

Our pitch went alright, however, as Olivier explained my idea, I realised it has slowly been changing. The elderly man has now changed into a woman, there is now an intense scene in which her dementia is showcased and a cemetery has become an ending location which for some reason I find big changes. I'm finding it difficult to let go of the idea. I think because I've spent so long on planning it and I know exactly what I want it to look like in my head, I'm finding it hard to take the changes that are being made as it is an idea very close to my heart. I know it was my own fault for passing the idea on and of course I don't expect people to understand what I want it to look like so I know I will have to detach myself from this project as though it isn't my idea. I'm sure it will all work out.

Our idea was overall received well. The influences I included were Up (2009), The Piano (2007) and Plastic Bag (2009) which provided the group and tutor the mood and tone we would like to achieve with our idea. Here are some screenshots of our presentation:
