Main Task - PLEAD

Feedback from Pitch, and Final Treatment

After giving our presentation to the teachers, we were given 2 pieces of feedback, 2 issues we needed to address before we could proceed with planning the film.

1. We needed to decide on exactly what happens from when Lizzy gets off the bed, to when she speaks to the neighbour.
- She moves off the bed, wiping her hands on her top, looking around the room. Her gaze returns to the body on the bed and she freezes. She moves her hand to her mouth as if she's about to throw up, and falls back against the wall. Leaning against it, she wretches and gags, but doesn't actually throw up. She heaves, and slides down the wall, pulling her legs close to her chest, and running her fingers through her hair. She then hears the knock on the door, and we see her look panicked. She scrabbles up, grabs her dressing gown, and pulls it on as she rushes out of the room. As she reaches the bottom of the stairs, she looks in the mirror, trying to clean up her face and pull back her hair, before she opens the door ever so slightly to the neighbour.

2. We also needed to know exactly why she decided to murder her boyfriend at this time; what triggered it.
- We decided it would happen early morning, as they were waking up, and he tries to have sex with her. He begins to force himself on her, as he often does. She had seen this coming, and finally couldn't take any more, and so pulls a knife from the draw, and finally snaps and kills him.
We find this out in the final climactic moment before the final judgement is made.

With these adjustments made, we have been given the 'green light' and proceed with making our film!
