Video Of Presentation

This is the recorded video clip of our group pitching our new film idea and the original planning and research that went into it. This clip shows what we have does in the past e.g. techniques. But also what we are planning to do and who are movie ideas and other inspirations came from.

Audience Feedback Interview (Betty May )


This is a brief interview with betty may who watched our movie pitch, we discussed many questioned which we asked her. This is to help with are audience feedback. 
This is just one of our interviews, this particular interview reinforced that are movie is based towards the male audience as betty stated that it didn't really appeal to her. 
I was pleased that betty said the film will meet its targeted requirements by saying it has "action and that". 
A negative feedback we received from betty was she insisted that the plot was weak, and not very original. However i believe and so does the rest of our group that there are some very unique ideas and affective ideas to be portrayed.

Short summary: 

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.
