Feedback

From our teacher's feedback I will make sure to blog all developments and reflect on them as we go. Our project is progressing well, with each of us taking on one thing to do (while referring to the group) - this will allow us to get the planning done quickly and efficiently.

Production Log - Week Beginning 13/11

Red, Unavailable
Green, Filming
Blue, Editing 

We filmed on Wednesday, however the footage wasn't suitable (Lack of lighting) and they're just test shots. We plan to re-do them and use it for editing practice.

Pitch Feedback and Reflection

These are the feedback sheets from other pupils and our teacher after presenting our pitch. There are some things that do work well, but also some things that do not - from this we will improve our artist and ideas for the music video.
Positive: Our artist, Record label and target audience are believable, they all fit together to create the type of artist and the audience we intended to.

Negative: Narrative/Music video is not clear enough. As a group we will plan everything more thoroughly and decided exactly what we want in the video. 

Mindmap

Many of these points are just ideas, as certain factors will impact them, such as weather and lighting. We will scout locations and start asking around for people to be in our music video.

Lyrics

As a group we analysed the lyrics to our music video, deciding to use a mixture of shots that will focus on the location and the artist - using stamp text on some words in time with the beat. Our main link to Goodwin will be through the visuals, linking to both the lyrics and the music and the use of eye contact/a notion of looking. We will visit a handful of locations for the music video, using a train to show the process of her moving location. This is because there is no set narrative, which is a convention of electro-pop, but the audience is witnessing the artist enjoy herself and exploring the locations.

Pitch

         

Pitch Video

We pitched our video to the class, talking about the artist themselves and our video idea. Our teacher was unsure about one aspect of our idea, this is when we want to use a TV screen as a transition. As it's unclear we will decide as a group if we will use it in the music video itself, this is because our music video ideas are still in it's early stages.
