Dragon's Den Summary

Ashley Evans

The presentation on a whole turned out quite badly, and the Dragons seemed to eat us alive! The general consensus was that we failed to put across our idea clearly and instead seemed to put across two conflicting ideas, which were thought to still be in the developmental stage as stated by the judges. One hopeful comment was that of our idea of forming images around the simple things in life which the judges all seemed to like but again thought needed better development. Although a lack of planning and rehersal added to the pitch failing to make sense the judges however were marking quite harshly and held back on nothing. The images and dolls were things representing the words given to us on the orange brief and the book/anthology was simply a way of holding them together.

I found working with group of people I have never spoken to before to be quite hard and daunting at the beginning but, as the week went on I felt more comfortable to speak up and we began to work as a group. The only negative I thought was that there was no real leader in the group or someone to direct are collective ideas into one strong idea.
