Feedback From Our Pitch

After showing our 'prezi' to the person who would 'OK'd' our concept, we got some really good feed back in which we will incorporate into our music video.

1. Firstly we had to make the band become british, as we are filming in britain, and due to the different forms of electricity, and if we were to film outside at any point, it would look too british to be american. Therefore we still kept the image of the black eyed peas in mind, but when marketing the band we would aim at a british audience and make them british band.

 

If we compare these two pictures,we could guess that the one on the right is the british band, the lighting is slightly more revealing and in general the photo seems to be much dryer feeling than the one on the left ( being much warmer and less gritty).

These are incredibly subtle differences but in a long video footage it can ruin the intended atmosphere.

2. The idea of having lots of different character was very much liked, but it was suggested that instead of just having one type of strange character, for instance one tribal man doing a dance, we should have groups of people auditioning doing the same thing. This is because in real open audition situations, such as Britain's got talent, you will have lots of people doing the same thing.

This picture is an example of the different people in their similar costumes, which we could all see in the waiting room or have them auditioning all together until the best is left. This would keep the audience more engaged, as they would want to know who got chosen. it could also be very comical as some people would not be able to do their trick at all.

3. We were also told that when filming the band singing, as they have no instruments to play, we need to have lots of interesting shots of them singing, as it could get a bit repetitive and possibly have props or even copying some of the tricks they have been shown.

4. The final thing we were told was that the audience need to know the situation ( that there is an audition for a music video). Therefore we decided that our first shots in the video would be of posters stuck up in different places, advertising the open audition. Therefore it is very clear what is going on. There would be a close up on the ' any interesting talents', giving clues to all the strange characters.

(Something similar to the above ^)

Overall I felt we had thought through our concept quite well as our idea had not been completely turned down. We had a clear and do-able idea which would keep the audience's attention.
