Feedback for brief ideas

Brief 1- In general, they thought it was a good base of idea, and it looked like i had planned it well and knew how the film would go. They thought i had a good basis to go on and it was kind of like the film 'Wanted'. I think i need to find a clearer idea as it was based on 'Wanted' and the programme 'Hustle' combined, if i can explain this clearer it would be easier to make i think. Loz liked the idea i had based my idea on 'Wanted' and that the character would have to do something wrong for people to dislike him. In the programme 'Hustle' the people con others out of money. I thought my character could do this, and the twist could be he would not really have a superpower, he just made others believe he had. Matt thought it was a good idea, using a movie then adapting it to my own and to make it more action packed. He liked the twist. Sam said the film brief sounded good but a bit complicated, it would need to be simplified to be clear and concise.

Brief 2 - I couldn't think of an idea for brief 2 so i did not receive any feedback obviously, i thought everyone else had good ideas for the thriller sequence, i could not think of anything as it seemed like everything had been done before so my brief would have been too stereotypical.

Brief 3 - In general the group thought it was well planned, heartfelt and looked like a very good idea, i knew how it was going to go and the storyline was clear. Loz liked this idea best overall and liked the fact the film was reversed, as he said you find out the viewpoint of the soldiers and the lies and deceit of the war. He said there had been alot of films based on Russians VS the germans in ww2, but not alot on the German point of view and therefore this would be effective due to there is not alot about the German viewpoint. Matt thought it was a good mix of history, and if pulled off would be a very good watch, especially with the twist of Germany being 'goodies'. Sam thought this idea sounded good, well planned and interesting, and he liked the idea the way it was and did not want to modify it.

Brief 4 - In general, Matt, Sam, Loz and Philippa believed this idea was planned very well. Machinima however may be a problem as i can only have limited acess to machinima and therefore may have more limited time than the others. Matt thought the film reminded him of 'Terminal' with Tom Hanks. He thought it may have to have a serious twist to it, for example maybe the countries they lived in could be war torn, linking to my idea of brief 3. This will also make it more adult themed and perhaps more effective. Loz thought it was a good idea but i would have to make it in the right way, if not the film may look not very effective and a bit tacky. He agreed with me about the machinima idea and the fact that it may be a problem as i would have limited acess.

Overall - the group believed my brief 3 was the best, as it seemed to be planned better than the others, and i knew the background to the idea very well as i am studying history. They liked the overall idea and how the girl goes from one side of the war to the other. They hadn't heard of the film 'The boy in striped pyjamas' but i explained it to them and they agreed it related very well to my idea.
