The overall response to our pitch was quite positive, the genre was said to be conveyed very well and the narrative was commented on being “tense” and “mysterious”.
We were also told that in terms of the ending it all works very well and the reveal of the villain addresses the character’s role in the film.
However, the scale of the sequence is said to be too big and we were recommended to keep all the action inside the church.
It would also be difficult to set up the lighting and display the scale of the operation occurring outside.
The narrative was criticised for being too unrealistic, as there is no evidence for how dangerous the antagonist is for five police officers to be chasing him.
Therefore, it was suggested to stay inside the church and only hint at grand scale of events outside.
Also, it was suggested to start the sequence with a negotiator talking to the psycho and then ending it with the police rushing in.
A reference to an opening scene of the movie “Swordfish” was made.
Also, questions such as, “Why is the police officer going into the church?”, “What has the psycho done?” and “Why does the villain have all the power?” were posed.
Overall, our feedback was very useful in aiding us in developing our idea and improving the different aspects of our film.
