Today, we pitched our treatment idea to our class and teachers, and received plenty of feedback and constructive criticism.
We were given things to improve on or change, such as the setting, the gimmicks, and we need to ensure that we have a good script, because the dialogue in our piece could make or break it. Our original setting idea was a house, however we were advised to re-think our setting, as the idea of waking up after a night like that in the characters own house is too cliche, and so to think of changing the setting to somewhere like a park, or another strange setting.
The things we did well were stick to/understand the conventions of the comedy genre, and of our research. We had quite detailed, relevant research and understanding of the genre and what makes it, and so were well informed of how to go about opposing or creating these conventions; such as the characters we present, the way we present them, the understanding of how humour would be used and how it would be used, as well as how to oppose the genre, such a not having the serious topic as a main theme.
We are now going to move on to writing the scripts. We're going to write one each and compare them, and edit and combine them to create our final script.
