After presenting our idea to our tutors and peers, the feedback was mainly positive as the group seemed to like our idea and thought that if we made a few minor changes then the film could be made even better.
These changes included:
POTION - Swapping the sigil on the ground for her just mixing a potion in the kitchen, then when she pours the potion into a mug, it turns into a cup of tea, which she then dunks the biscuit in and eats it. This then makes the biscuits seem more relevant to the story.
BISCUITS - Another idea was to have Libby cook the biscuits using her Grandma's "famous cookies" recipe, as oppose to just buying some branded biscuits.
DIALOGUE - Instead of using dialogue to explain the storyline, we will arrange the scene to set up the story without having to have the characters physically tell the audience what is happening. Examples of this will include Libby looking at 'seances' and ways to contact the dead on her computer, to show that she is not over her Grandmother's death, also her appearance and the way she behaves will show her personality, rather than her mother using dialogue to show that she is slightly weird and unpopular.
LIBBY'S AGE - Originally we pictured Libby as around sixteen years-old, however after having a meeting with our tutor, we have decided that the character's story would fit better with the plot of the film is she was around thirteen. This is because she will be old enough to be a 'stroppy teenager' who is distant from her parents, but also young enough to still believe in magic.
