Response To Feedback From Group Pitch

Response To Feedback From Group Pitch

Me and my group decided to take Luke’s advice and feedback and we decided to improve our Idea following Luke’s Feedback as to possibly make the best music video we can. Bellow is a screenshot of the basic answers which we decided as a group to each individual piece of feedback which was given to us by Luke and which I went into detail in the post before this:

The different tasks that we assigned each other to try and improve the ides were as follows:

• Develop the performance element = LUCAS
• Develop and increase the size of the female portion (Dance, Fashion etc.) = KAI
• Improve even more the look of the of the Hotel Room = GUSTAVO

We set our selves the deadline of having this done by the next morning so that we could put together a presentation so that we could re-pitch our idea to Luke. As can bee seen above I was in charge of developing the performance element:

As we were going to increase the portion of the music video which took place in the room with the female dancer on the bed I was going to have to decrease the size of the part where it is just the male singer walking towards the camera, I wanted to decrease the size of it rather than take away as was sort of implied by Luke, because I really thought that the idea had potential and because all the people besides for Luke and my teacher which I had presented my idea to had told me that their favourite part of the music video would be the part with the male singer walking towards the camera, but obviously my media teacher and Luke have more experience with music videos and they know what works and what doesn’t, so I decided to take advice from both sides and simply shorten the duration of it rather than take it away completely. So my idea for this shot would be that it would still be filmed in slow motion with heavy red and blue light ing but that it would only last about 45 seconds to a minute at the beginning of the song, and it would only take place in two locations, firstly the out in the street ad secondly in a red lit corridor right before the singer walks into the hotel room. So it still shows the same idea of a journey to this hotel room but as advised now we are going to have more shots of the room and less of the journey there. Two video which are sort of similar the slow motion section of our music video which i had in mind are by an artist called The Weeknd, one of them is called King of The Fall and the second is called The Hills, both the videos use this slow motion film style whilst the male singer is walking and I really feel that this style is very stylistic, unique and effective.

Luke said that there would be no point in filming in slow motion if we didn't show it off, he said it would take a lot of effort and he felt that if we are going to take the time to do this then we would really have to take advantage of it and impress people. So in my mind I was wondering how could I show off the slow motion effect, well, I would have to use a lot of movement, because that is hat would look impressive with the slow motion; So I have decided the that the singer will have to do a lot of hand movements towards the camera because then one will really be able to see that its filmed in slow motion; Another thing which I thought could be added would be rain, I think rain falling down will also show that its filmed in slow motion because people know how fast rain is supposed to fall and if its going slowly people will be able to tell that its filmed in slow motion.

As for the lighting which I was talking about for both the outside part of this first performance section and the part which will take place in a corridor, bellow are photos which reflect my view for the lighting which I would want to use. it is a mixture of red’s and blues outside, and only red in the corridor as can be seen bellow:
