Audience feedback

After reviewing our original footage and receiving audience feedback from classmates, we have come to the conclusion that our narrative wasn't working as well as we had hoped. In hindsight, the narrative was too vague leading to difficulty filming as well as the failure of getting the main idea across to the audience. Furthermore, we realised we weren't making progress with the narrative after re filming 3-4 times and not getting anywhere, this subsequently lead to our decision to create a new narrative.

Our new narrative consists of a middle aged female woman reminiscing about her teenage years, shown through connotations of the 80's and wildness of her youth. The narrative will show a woman coming home from work and doing household activities. This will come across as boring, implying her current personality. As the narrative develops, the character is seen to dress up for a 80's reunion party. The shots will show that she still has her 'spark' and that she isn't actually that boring.

We have discussed that this will be easier to film and re film if needed because the actress will be me and Adam's mum and the location will be our house, allowing us to film whenever we need to. There is also less individual scenes, so there is less to film and less interference with production. We hope this second idea will have a lot more substance and will look much more like a professional video.
