Evaluation of film pitch

Once we pitched our film to the class, we recived feedback from them. Even though we couldve been more enthusiastic when pitching out film, most feedback was positive, and they liked the idea becuase its different to other boxing films. One of our class mates suggested a fight in the opening scene to solidify the genre of action. The class also like the use of enigma codes which are left for the audience when the two boys are shown on the opening scene. Who are they? Do they know eachother etc?

Production meeting 1

After we pitched our films ideas to each other, we decided to go with Ben's idea which is called 'Fighting To Survive'. We decided to go with this idea because we all liked the idea and felt as if it was the best. It is an action film about two boxers, a rich boy/ poor boy story. We will present the presentation to the class next lesson and listen to their comments and feedback.
