The main piece of feedback I was given after presenting my Pitch was to rethink my ideas about giving the project an 80s aesthetic.
As the source material is set in the early 1940s, during World War Two, it does not entirely make sense why a story set in this time period would have the aesthetic of being made during the 1980s. My initial idea for this mostly stemmed through inspiration from the film adaptation of 'The Keep' from 1983. I feel that this film's direction and aesthetic eluded me into thinking that my own project should feel the same way.
However, looking at these ideas now, this would have not been very original and would have felt like I was copying the previous adaptation and not making it my own.
Therefore, I will need to rethink this approach, perhaps instead looking and taking inspiration from previous works more suited to this time period, creating a visual and sound aesthetic inspired by this instead.
Other feedback included being advised to not worry about including certain elements such as camera, and sound equipment as I am not actually planning on creating this project for real. This gives me the opportunity to give more focus to the other creative elements to be included in the Pre-Production Portfolio.
