Pitch Feedback

Last Wednesday we pitched our idea for our music video.
I was very stressful trying to get our pitch to come together on time but when it was done it was a great success.
Overall it went very well with the audience really liking our idea, however there were a few comments and suggestions on areas we could improve on. Here is the list:

• The obvious theme throughout the music video could be the rivalry between the two music genres and the two genders and them eventually coming together, however to make it more interesting there could also be the underlying theme throughout of the sexual relationship between the two singers.
• Nisha and Jack need to be able to show the chemistry between them effectively otherwise the video will be very meaningless. It needs to show full on anger between them at the beginning turning into passion towards the end and this change has to be made obvious.
• Our video is very much about the different locations therefore we need to finalise these first before we continue with our treatment in order to work around any problems at an early stage. Also it would make our shoot more time efficient if we spent 1 day at each different location.
• The Apple Ipod effects that we had planned to cut to, will not fit in with the overall video, therefore it wont be used until maybe the very last shot to let the video end on something unusual and exciting.
• Planning is key as we are using so many actors so make sure we are organised in advance otherwise it could all go horribly wrong.
• The video could end with a huge celebration with lots of hugs and kissing emphasising the coming together of the two genres and genders.
• We could also make our video narrative based as well as performance based with the hook of the relationship between the two main singers throughout.
• We were told that the relationship could reflect that of Mr and Mrs Smith, showing the violent passion between them with the anger and the chemistry.
• The editing in our music video is vital in order to show the relationship between the two characters and we need to have the shots in order to do the post production effectively.
• We need to decide whether our music video is for a collaboration between two artists or whether it is one band with them making a statement for their first video as their music combines both indie and hip hop.
