Why we are not releasing our production on father's day (feedback)

Initially we came up with the idea of having our product released on Father's day (15th June). This is because we thought we could relate it to our narrative, where we were planning to reinforce the relationship between Flora and James (father of Flora). We also wanted it to reflect our narrative in a sense that we thought it may be interesting for our audience, due to the fact that none other films-real life media product (which we are aware of) has been released on Father's Day, especially with the phenomena of the father dying being the main plot. However after we pitched it to our teacher she stated that it would not be ideal due to the dark element which our narrative explores contrasting the happiness such day is suppose to symbolize, hence why this particular date will not be suitable for us to release our production on that date.

Taking the feedback on board, me and Chloe done further research into dates which were either viewed to be important or celebrated. From our research we came across the '20th November' which is a 'Universal Children's Day', we were straight away intrigued by this due to the fact that it reflected the character of Flora. A prime example of this can be seen with the idea of the way in which Flora is portrayed e.g. her being likable upon first glance to the audience and thus they are most likely to engage with her until they find the truth about her character. Overall by releasing our product on this particular day in beneficial as this a globally celebrate day and thus we will be able to raise more awareness of sensitive issue which is explored in our narrative e.g. the ways in which children are affected by domestic violence- why Flora became sinister after witnessing such level of violence.

These were some of the research I came across whilst conducting an in depth research on 'Universal Children's Day':

• It's celebrated in different countries globally e.g. in Canada, India, New Zealand and the UK. This is a day is symbolic of the rights children have within society (awareness of their rights). 
• It was first established on 14th December 1954 (to celebrate children) in promoting the welfare of children.
• Universal Children's Day is part of the work carried out by UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund. 
• Their logo consist of an an image of a mother and child, a globe, olive branches and the word “UNICEF”. Showing the connection to the United Nation the use the same colour scheme of blue and white, which are also the colours of the United Nation logo.
