We were greenlit!!

Before my group had the opportunity to start filming, we had to make a proposal for our film. The proposal included documents such as scripts, storyboarding, risk assessment, shot list, etc. We filled out all of the necessary paperwork we needed and submitted our proposal to our teacher. We were confident in our idea and were excited to start filming. We get to class and our teacher talks to us about our film. We had been greenlit and could start filming! But it didn't come without some commentary. He said that our film was very visually boring and that he didn’t expect that from us. He said the film has been done before and we should of ways to have the movie have a visual twist…in the first two minutes of a film. I respect my film teacher, I really do but this was hard to hear as the three of us were so proud and excited about our concept.  We thought of any possible way we could make our movie more appealing to him and thought of including time travel, aliens, and even the titanic! None of those ideas made sense for our film though. So while we will keep in mind the constructive criticism, Sarah, Melina, and I plan to keep the same plan and create a visually interesting movie through camera techniques.
