1st production log

During the course of this week I have worked in order to create a presentation for my idea on my music video for a pitch to show in front of the class on power point of what my idea is and why the class should go and choose my idea for the music videos. I then showed the presentation to the class whilst explaining each slide and each subheading regarding what my idea was and what i had planned to do for my idea for the music video, the class then went round and gave me feedback and criticism of my idea for a music video. After having gained the classes feedback on my idea i then set out on choosing who i will be working with through the module in creating the music video who i thought that i would benefit from in regards to their skills and their ideas. I then made a music video in order to explain what reasons overall made me choose my partner to work with in this case Prabhjyot which is also known as a group rationale. I began planning my music video with the verses and the video itself and who would be helping by starring within the music video. In next week’s lesson i will begin creating a shooting script for the music video as well as completing some of the other pre production work with my group partner in regards to what is happening within my music video and outside my music video.

pitch reflection

1) There are some areas of my presentation that I would like to give more detail on, I think I could have added more detail when it came to explaining the music video theory, I would identify goodwin by name and explain his theories within my music video a lot clearer as the way i have explained it is very vivid and basic with very limited detail within it. Another aspect I would change of the presentation would be to make the idea more original the idea in which I have gone for is very basic and repetitive so if I could change this I would try to think of a new idea which goes against most conventional music videos and styles to make it more interesting and original as the concept which I have gone for is overused and conventional to this style of music. 

2) The audience in this case my classmates found that the idea of the filming the storyline from both perspectives from the mans view as well as the women's view and not just from one side which they said was a good and original idea, they found that the location of the alleyway to connote his emptiness without her was a good idea for filming they said it would work well and be interesting which would be enjoyable and eye catching. Another good thing which the audience liked was some of the music video theories such as close ups and cut to the beat they found that they would work well within the music video.

3) The areas of improvement which my audience established with my music video presentation of my idea was the idea for the music video. The audience felt that the storyline lacked any originality or creativity, they felt as if it had been over used and done quite a lot and was a bit stale and boring. So I think I would change the storyline to improve it and make it seem less boring and unoriginal for the audience I would subvert the normal story to go against the normal everyday love and heartbreak music video.  

4) From the feedback which I have recieved from my audience on my music video presentation and idea I would change the storyline in order to make it more original and upto date with new concepts for music videos in order to make it more interesting and to keep it eye catching and engaging with the audience. Also I would explain the theories better and use more concepts of goodwins theory within my music video rather than just a few, by having a range of concepts it makes it more interesting and allows it to have a range of different and original shot types for the audience. By making these changes it will make it more interesting and sustain the audiences interest with not only the music video but also the narrative of the storyline.
