This is our very frist draft of our shooting script, we will now print copies to each group in our media class and ask for feedback on any details we have lacked and need to add, or what details were particually effective.

Audience feedback





Age 12a Certificate: Mature themes expected, Nudity is allowed, but in a sexual context it must be brief and discreet, The use of strong language  must be infrequent,Sexual activity may be implied. Sex references may reflect what is likely to be familiar to most adolescents but should not go beyond what is suitable for them. Violence must not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood. Sexual violence may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated. Dangerous techniques (eg combat, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on imitable detail or appear pain or harm free. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.


Age 15 Certificate: strong violence, requent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, strong verbal references to sex, sexual nudity, brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence, discriminatory language or behaviour, drug taking


Age 18 Certificate: very strong violence, frequent strong language (eg 'f***') and/or very strong language (eg ‘c***’), strong portrayals of sexual activity, scenes of sexual violence, strong horror, strong blood and gore, real sex (in some circumstances), discriminatory language and behaviour

Our Film requires strong violence, brief scenes of domestic abuse for this our film needs the rating of the age 15.

How We are Going to Targert our Audience

We are going to keep the audience intrested by leaving the audience asking questions and using the thriller techniques such as flashbacks and quick cut to keep the attention alert and wanting more.

Revisions after receiving feedback

we are planing on keeping our idea and narrative the same bacause most of the audience feedback we recived was positive and all our audience agreed the plot fit into the sub-genre and the narative was good and left them asking questions

Audience Feedback Of Our Pitch

Is The Plot effective? Yes, a little unclear but well thought out story line.

What did you think of the narrative?Good but a little confusing and created a lot of questions


Does the plot link to the sub-genre?
Yes because of the detective, crime thriller is Cleary shown


Would this storyline be something you would watch?
Yes it’s very detailed and no because it isn’t in my demographic of film

Did the Plot grasp your attention?Yes


What could be improved?Simplify it a little and give less information away

Is there enough information planned to be given in the opening sequence?yes but many give less away to keep asking questions



With This Feedback We have taken these coments on board and taken in to consideration of how much detail we are going to include in our opening sequence. And that we need to simplify the narative to make it clearer to the audience.

Our Pitch Presentation

Discussion Prior to our Pitch:

The narrative will be introduced by using short quick cuts- this will show a little of the plot without giving much away.


Show genre is crime because were showing a murder.

Representations: white to show innocence
                           detective - clothing and weapons
                           black for death

the opening will show little shows ending in a murder and leave questions.
