Feedback from the Group!

 Hi guys it's me Santi,

Sometimes when you're making something you like, it might not actually be good. It just happens because you're biased to your own work, so you can't see the flaws in it. This was an issue for my team, so during class our teacher decided to randomly group us up into different groups so that we could get fresh and unbiased opinions on our project! There were 5 other people in my group, who all gave me solid ideas and identified a couple of plot holes in our opening. Let's go over them!

Where did the planet come from?

One of the biggest comments I got was "where did the planet come from?" It's a pretty big planet (we don't know the exact size but it's a tiny bit smaller than Jupiter), so it would've probably been detected coming towards us years ago, giving the Earth more time to react, and also it would've made no sense if people were running around the grocery store in a panic (they would've had time to run years ago). So we have two options: Give extra exposition and have it so that the planet was projected to fly by the earth, but instead at the last second it was predicted to crash. The second option is to make the planet Mars instead of a rogue planet, again giving the Earth less time to react.
There are problems with each option, as having Mars go out of orbit would probably have more implications than just crashing into the Earth, but it would be easier to explain than using up our time to get more exposition out to the audience.
We're still trying to figure out what's the best approach, but that'll be decided once my team meets up again to review our critiques.


I'm still working on the script, so let's hope it goes well!
Until next time, Santi :)
