Audience Feedback

In Monday's lesson I got the class to watch the video of my idea pitch and then to post comments on my blog what they thought of my initial idea and then to pose a question for me to think about. I was pleasantly surprised by the feedback that I received as everyone was very positive and had constructive questions for me to think about.
Aimee - I think stop motion is a good idea although it is lengthy it could be worth it. Would it all be in stop motion or would you consider having part of it real life filming?
Farah - I think you have a very creative idea which could work very well - the puppets would be very entertaining! If you were thinking of stop motion that would also be very effective - but you would have to already start planning to make sure you manage your time efficiently; if you do it will work greatly! Good luck :-)
Caitlin - I really like this idea, I think it would be really cute for the puppet to fall in love with the mannequin, this still has a fairytale-esque feel to it and the idea of him living in your shed is really good. How would your brother fit into the film? Would he be friends with the puppet? 
Martha - I think your idea is a really good one. I think especially for a young audience, its such a nice juvenile idea, which is refreshing because I think a lot of other people get bogged down in subtext and seriousness. I think you should really use the idea of stop motion as its creative and original. 
Evie - Sounds you have the building blocks of a really fun and creative idea! I'd be very interested to watch this short, should you choose to make it. Have you thought much about sound in your film? 
Alice - I love the idea, think it shall work really well. I personally think that maybe give a try out of the stop motion, because if it works for you I think that will look really effective, but I also think it is good that you have considered how time consuming it can be therefore have thought of an idea where you can also film it through 'real' action. Have you thought about whether you will use diagetic or non-diagetic sound, whether you will include much dialogue etc?
Lizzie - Really interesting idea; it's great that you have already considered actors and have a good idea of where you are going to film and how it's going to work with your vision. Do you know where the story is going to lead?
Ben - The idea is very simple, the stop-motion could be a problem as Alice said; it is very time consuming. But I think that if it does properly stop-motion can add so much more to a piece especially in the case of fantasy as it provides a much more unreal but also fragmented and sharp final product. How do you feel on working with a young actor? And how do you plan to keep his interest in making the film with it being such a tedious production?
