I read this article relating to different types of alcoholics. It was shocking to read that young professionals would rely on Alcohol to get through their day. It is quite striking to realise that the term alcoholic isn't only a description of an individual sitting on "Hungerford Bridge with a brown paper bag". Many are in denial and don't realise the damage that they are inflicting on their family, friends, colleagues etc. This is the central theme of our video. We originally thought of using a homeless description for our actor but we think it would be more relevant to the recession and the social demographic of Northern Ireland to use a professional who is reliant on alcohol to get through the day. Our main character is going to have an addiction and this is going to filter into his family life until he losses his family we are then going to follow through a period of destruction and rehabilitation. The length of this period will be up to the viewers disgretion. We will then see him coming back to his wife.

Here our screenshots of our feedback form which we will use to gain critical evaluation from our classmates when we pitch these ideas to the class on friday, I feel these questions are broad enough to give James and I enough feedback so we can sit down at a later date and quantify this data and adapt our project to the feedback which we receive.

I created the animatic within iMovie, it gave James and I a brief overview of the video layout and we are really pleased with how it looks, the drawings within the animatic give it a very realistic feel as they were drawn by an art student within our year group. James is now creating a risk assessment for our project while i am completing a calendar which combines both of our commitments so we can decide when filming is feasible, We are really pleased with how the project is going so far and the schedule is helping us stay on track very effectively.
