Pitch presentation

Introduction

For my pitch, I made this PowerPoint to present my ideas. The reason why I have to pitch my idea is to verify whether I know what I'm going to do for my FMP. It is also to make sure I'm not planning to make something that I won't be able to complete in the time frame.

Reflection

I pitched my idea on the 18th of March, unlike the last FMP, we got to do our pitches in a proper presentation room. There were 7 of us and we all presented that day. Before standing up in front of everyone I was a bit scared, but I feel like everyone was at least a little bit nervous, however, Surprisingly, I wasn't that scared when standing up and pitching my idea. Overall, the pitch went quite well, and I didn't mess up any words. As I was only presenting in front of seven people, I shouldn't have been that nervous, however, instead of presenting in our usual classroom like we did last year, we moved into a proper presentation room.

Looking back on my pitch, I feel that I could've added more topics and if I allocated more time to making the pitch then it would've ended out better, however, I'm still happy with my outcome. I managed to get my idea across, however, that was thanks to my classmates asking questions at the end, as I don't think I had enough information on my presentation. From this pitch, I learned that I definitely need to allocate more time to topics that I may not understand or know what to do, and also I need to make a plan for subjects like these as in the long run, it's a massive time saver to make a plan that you can follow instead of winging it.

Areas to consider

From the feedback that I got given, the three main topics that got brought up were timescale, age rating, and a backup plan. I'd say the backup plan is the most important of the three, as it ensures that if I for whatever reason, I run out of time or change my mind throughout the production process, I have a fallback plan that I can change to. There's quite a high chance that I won't ever have to fall back on a backup plan, however, if I don't make one, and I do end up having to use one, then it would be a massive time consumer coming up with an idea and then making it.

Areas to consider

Mind Mapping Diorama Ideas

The reason that I made this mindmap is to discuss my initial ideas, and just to get my thoughts on paper. on what I will be making for my FMP. Before making this mindmap I already knew that I wanted to make a diorama so that part was already done, so instead of making a mindmap on what I should do for FMP as a whole, I decided to hone in on one section of it.

By making this Mindmap I rediscovered some thoughts for scenes that genuinely intrigue and inspire me. I got the idea for the Arcade and Lighthouse from when I went on a day out with my grandparents and we revisited places that I used to go to when I was younger. So I've decided to make these two scenes as they hold meaning.
