Response To Pitch Feedback
We really liked the idea of having some of the crowd wear cardboard boxes on their heads like TV's so we have decided to use it in our video and are going to incorporate them into the crowd shots to add a surreal element. Also we are going to use the idea of someone trying to change the channel and seeing different shots of the band. We have decided to not film at college as it may resemble a classroom which is not the image we are aiming for.
Pitch Feedback
After showing our pitch we were given feedback by the class. They suggested:
- We should be careful of filming a screen as it can look very blurry.
- We should get people who can actually play the instruments so it doesn't look fake.
- Not filming at college as it often looks too much like a classroom.
- We shouldn't use very much 'found footage' of riots as most of the footage must contain our own work, however a small amount may be used.
- Health and safety must be considered when shooting the TV out of the window.
- Our plot idea was very original.
- The magazine advert was a good idea as it didn't show the band but instead caught the eye with a unique style.
- They liked the idea of everyone in the video ending up in the same space inside the television set.
- That throwing the television from the window was a very original idea.
Example music videos
This video is very surreal following the conventions of indie music.
This video uses similar ideas to ours with the television showing the artist singing.
This video is performance based and slightly surreal following the conventions of an indie rock video.
Similar Music Video
We will try to recreate an atmosphere similar to the one in this video with the crowd all dancing and enjoying themselves.
