Reflections on our feedback

In last night's feedback session there were several issues raised (see group blog).
One of these was an issue concerning having a black indie singer despite saying we were aiming at a predominantly white audience, which I can see is a valid point yet caused issues within the group as a result. I personally feel that it would be most beneficial to the group if Jennfier was to play the hero because it suits her personality. I also have concerns over using Jennifer's friends as the other actors because there is a chance the filming may turn into disarray with nothing being done. This would also then lead to the whole issue becomming even more of a "race row" as having all actors not being white would be racist towards them, so either way we lose. If we were able to get Jazmin to be our performer I think it would work well as she looks the part and we would be able to work with her. In light of this I think that we need to rethink our choices of actors and reach a new agreement before the summer.
However I am glad that there was positive feedback regarding the idea of comic books and the idea as a whole, I just hope we can resolve the issues.
