Combined review of our Pitch.

Looking back at our pitch we would say that it went well. Not only did we receive positive feedback on our ideas but we also received new point of views, angles and ideas for our music video. We started the presentation by playing our track and having people write down their ideas and thoughts on the song and what they would put in a music video. This was useful because the people in our class where also media students, and because they where also doing music videos, they could provide a developed understanding of our idea and how we would achieve it.
Generally we received positive feedback particularly in our track choice which, it was agreed, was simple and reflected the band and its genre. Below is a list of ideas that other people mentioned when listening to the song:
  • Performance Based
  • About two people fighting- Narrative
  • Fast paced (particularly the cutting between shots and the camera movement)
  • It needs a real band (it need to be authentic)
  • Simple cutting
  • Avoiding complex special effects ( challenges the IndieRock genre)
  • Show the band being a fun group of friends
  • Light hearted- lost the girlfriend but not a dramatic emotional piece.

All of the ideas above are, to a certain degree, involved in our music video and this reinforced our idea. Our pitch was also very successful and we presented our ideas clearly and in detail using a powerpoint as an aid. We also included our moodboard in the powerpoint to show our ideas visually for ourselves and those who watched our pitch.
