Teachers comments1. Good analysis of a mixture of comedy and action films. Using Johnny

English and Austin Powers should help as you plan to do a spy film.2. More detail is needed here. You have done a prezi on all genres, with 2

further posts on comedy and action. Why not transfer all this information and add more along with pictures to help onto one prezi or power-point. Remember you are doing a comedy/action so thats what you need to research. Action/comedy genre research added. Be careful in naming your directors. The Wachowski Brothers are no longer called this, they are just ‘The Wachowski’s’ now.

3. Target audience avatars now uploaded with notes and good descriptions of likes.

4. Your script needs editing so that it is all in the same font size. You might find it easier to upload the original word doc via slideshare rather than copying and pasting to blogger. What are your agents called? Sometimes agents 1, 2 etc sometimes Kevin, Phillip etc. Decide which one don’t have both. Script has been re-drafted by is still not in the correct format. This has been re-drafted again.

these to make them easier to read. Now done.7. A very detailed shot list well done.8. Very clear and detailed floor plans well done.9.
