treatment reading and feedback

On Tuesday 18th October we as a group read our first draft of our treatment out to an audience of Mr Hood and Mr Leach. These two people were chosen as Mr Hood is a professional media subject teacher meaning he has a wide range of knowledge about media concepts and was able to help guide us into producing our initial idea in the form of a treatment. Mr Leach is our Headteacher, what is unique about him though is that he conforms to the stereotypes of our chosen Antagonist. He is both Catholic and a step father, this means he could empathize with the plot.





This was a knowledgeable task as we were metaphorically treading on eggshells when referring to Catholicism. He helped ease the thought of offending Catholic people by reassuring us that we are approaching it in a mature, feasible way, himself knowing this as he is Catholic. An important note to realize is what Mr Hood stated about finding suitable actors. With not knowing their past we have to be very careful in asking people to act out a rape seen as it is a very sensitive subject. This will be a difficult task which we are confident in overcoming.
