REFLECTION

In our group, we reflected back on our presentation and what went wrong and how to move forward. We felt that we hadn't done enough detail on the backstory of the characters and thier storylines. After we then added to our presentation,we felt much better about how the soap opera was coming along and that we all had a better understanding of the characters and the storylines.
We also think that maybe we were thinking too far ahead with thinking about where to film and we hadn't thought about the actual soap.
Overall i think that the storylines used are good and the audience research confirms this.

The next thing we feel we need to do is discuss our title sequence, what it should include and who should do what. We will use our research into soap title sequences to help us.

Today we gave our pitch, which i don't think went very well as there wasn't enough detail about the characters and the storylines and they needed to have a backstory which we didn't really include.

However, after another meeting we came up with a detailed backstory to each character, and added this to our presentation.

The final presentation is below:
PITCH!

We finished our presentation and decided on the best way forward to giving the pitch and making it sucessful, however i don't think enough effort was put into this process, and i think as a group we could have worked better to pull the whole pitch together and make sure it included everything and that we all knew what the soap opera included.

Today we fine-tuned all of our idea's on a soap opera, including: Characters, Storylines, Setting and the final name of the soap which we decided was Kingsfield.
We then had to use these to create a presentation to pitch our soap idea, however i don't think our ideas were detailed enough.

Today my group went through all the audience research (questionnaires) and put together a review of answers questionnaire. I was away for this but i made sure that i did a summary of my results to bring in for the next meeting.

We then had a basic idea of what our audience wanted and expected to see, therefore we could use this is our next step in fine-tuning our final ideas.

Keep it Updated
