Group Pitch Feed Back

Feedback from Group Pitch

After presenting our ideas to the man in charge of music videos at our school called Luke, we decided with him that it would be best to go with our first idea which was the music video for the song “Without U” by Spooky Black. Luke gave us back feedback for this idea, I wrote down the feedback which he gave us on my laptop, bellow is a screenshot from my computer of the feedback which Luke gave us:























In our opinion we felt that Luke did not really like our idea and we felt that he did not see much potential in it, so we sat together as a group and decided to look at the feedback that Luke gave us and to analyse it. 

As seen in the screenshot above, Luke told us that we need to include more of the female in the room, he told us that this what the audience really wanted to see, which is an attractive girl not wearing very many clothes dancing around in a bed, which makes sense, if we want our target audience to be teenagers they are are going to be more interested in seeing a sexy girl then a boy singing. We hence decided that the solution to this problem would be to simply add more of the female.

Also seen in the screen shot is the fact that Luke told us that if we were going to have the slow motion effect on the shot of the the male character sing, it would have to have a lot of movement to it as to show off the effect because otherwise there would be no point in doing it, it would be a lot of effort for a shot which isn't as interesting as we would want it to be. 

Another piece of feedback which Luke gave us was that if the female character was going to be dancing on the bed throughout the video then the dance would have to be choreographed. We would not be able to simply show up on the day and tell our actress to improvise a dance because it would be way to hard and it would look awkward and unprepared to the viewer, and since this is what the audience really want to see it has to look really good.

Some of the positive feedback which we got from Luke was that he liked the look of the red motel room and the look of the water filling the floor throughout the video, so he advised us to keep in, but he wanted us to think about it in more detail. Luke also said that he really like the song choice and the way that our music video concept fit in with  and accentuated the slow vibe of the song, and said that it was smart of us to play with that.

Luke also said that it might be a smart idea to maybe not show the male characters face for the parts that take place in the room to really accentuate the female character and to really make her the focus of the video because as previously mentioned, he believed that she should be the main focus of the video because she will be what the audience will mostly want to look at.

The final piece of criticism that Luke had for us was that our Idea might not be long enough to fill a whole music video and that even if we made it long enough it would not keep our audience entertained for very long because the music video in his opinion was just many shots of the male character/singer walking around, and Luke believed that this could get boring after just a minute, let alone 5.
