Pitch presentation and feedback

To come up with the idea of "A Wife's Tale", the genre we used was fantasy and the target audience was under 10's. To start with we found this very difficult to come up with, because this is a very popular choice already in the film industry as a lot of films with this genre and target audience have already been done. For example, Shrek, A sharks tale and Up. Differently, we decided to add historical film genre. The reason for this was because this was something that hadn't really been done before, therefore this would therefore make the film have a better appeal to not only children but to the parents as well and could be watched as a family film.

From research,  historical films are not that good and do not get very good ratings, and we thought that this would of been due to the constant information given to children and they may not have found that interesting. So instead this is why we have mixed it with the genre fantasy, as there can be some made up facts and bizarre things happening throughout the film, this will make the children a lot more intrigued but will also interest parents as they're children will be learning and enjoying themselves whilst watching the film.  Because of this we made sure that we picked a high quality class and gave it a fun exciting story line that would appeal to kids and the cast would also appeal to parents as they are all very well known.

The plot of the film was two young children are not  doing well in their history class and need catching up, their parents have been informed and they are due to complete a project together. the teacher has given them a little help by giving them a important text box to take information from. This text book is magical and takes them back to Tudor times where they discover Henry VIII had an extra wife that know one knew about. Because of this story line the title had to be chosen well so it didn't give to much away but still linked to the film. This is why the title "A wife's tale" was chosen. The reason it was chosen was because a wife's tale is an old saying so loosely ties in with the historic genre but it also links with the film because the main information is about an extra wife. Because of this we felt that the title worked well as it does not give too much away, but links well with the story line.

Feedback
The main thing we found with our feedback is that everyone was unclear about the enigma code. The majority of people left the box blank or not actually know what it was, therefore this was unhelpful feedback as we did not really understand what we could improve and did know get told what they felt about it. Next time we do this we need to make sure that the enigma code is clear so that the audience knows what it is.
Out of all of the feedback the best part of it was the Name of the film and the cast section. Both of these where highly praised in our feedback and the majority of people rated them both very highly. This shows that our film was appealing because everyone like the title which would make people remember the film and the cast made people excited about the film.
The section "is the film different?" Had mixed reviews most people didn't really know what to think of it. Some people thought that it was a good idea and liked it but other thought that it reminded them of a couple of other films. This may make us want to change the theme slightly because people may get bored watching it. This wouldn't be good in the long run because no one will want to watch it and it will no make any money.
Overall the film went down well and most people decided that they would buy the film rights if they could. This is encouraging because it shows that our film would have been a success if it was all put together.
