Today everyone in the class had to pitch their ideas as a group to the rest of the class, this is the feedback we received after we'd told everyone our idea:
Strengths: I feel that my groups had clear ideas, a well structured plan and enigma codes for the audience to deconstruct and interpret in their own way. My group are not necessarily focusing on the matter of the girl having an issue, we're focusing more on how people perceive the issue and how they adapt to it.
Weaknesses: The sensitivity of the issue, my group received feedback saying that our idea is good because it doesn't make fun out of mental health issues and we deal with it in quite a sensitive way as we're using art as a release for this character.
Opportunities: A member of our group is an artist so we have the opportunity to get the correct art resources and equipment that we're going to need during filming, we are using the school as it has all the right places for us to film in such as the art classroom when the girl is painting and the media classroom when the girl is being bullied.
Threats: As it's a serious issue my group need to be careful of how we go about showing it in our opening sequence.
Doing this activity has helped my group realise the good and bad things about our idea for our opening sequence, we now understand that we must be extremely sensitive about the issue we are representing as it can be a very touchy subject for some people who suffer with the condition. We have also realised that we are well of in terms of talent as Ralph is an artist, this has made the idea of art being Jodie's release for her emotions a lot easier to communicate. The fact that OCD is a serious issue among people means that we have to be extra careful about how we show the issue in our opening sequence and be very sensitive about it at the same time.
