Our final idea- 'Saving Santa'
Once we had shown our ideas to each other we tried deciding between two ideas, we asked others in the class to see what they thought was the best idea. After this we decided on our final agreed film pitch which was a Christmas themed. I believe this could be a success if we get our costumes, settings and narrative right. It will be a different film as it has a twist. The twist is that Santa gets kidnapped so a new Santa is formed (by the person who takes his identity).
Our film opening will concentrate on the titles so we need to make them unique, interesting and exciting to read as this is our main focus. We have started to think of ideas on how to present the titles in special ways.
Due to the role of Santa getting taken or kidnapped, we have chosen the title for our film of 'Saving Santa'. This title is good because it included alliteration and is short therefore snappy to remember, also it relates to the genre and narrative.

Feedback from our idea...
'I really liked this idea because it is very different to other student opening scenes I have seen'
'It may be hard to do as a lot of props are needed and could be mistaken for a comedy if I didn't go to plan'
'I think it could work really well if the costumes and props are good'
'Could have included some speech'
'Music and costumes have been well thought through'
'I would probably watch this film but only in the Christmas time period'
More detail about the plot and planning are included in my 'Saving Santa' post to follow.
