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.

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.
Making this mindmap at the start of the topic has helped me start and stay on the right track as I have a clear understanding of what my end goal is.
