Pitch Reflection







Are there any areas of the presentation you would like to give any more detail on?

Yes I believe that there are areas of my presentation that I would like to give more detail on. The main areas would be, being more enthusiastic when I am presenting my pitch, I say this because during my pitch I believe that I was quite laid back. So if I was to do my presentation again I would much like to add more enthusiasm into my presentation as it shows a lot of respect and good work.


What did your audience identify as the strengths of your music video idea?

The audience identified the brand identity being used in the song as a strength of the video as the artist creates a good gesture when he raps the main lyric of the song. The audience did identify the two rappers as a strength as they both fit the roles.



What did your audience identify as areas for imorovement?

The audience identified that the locations were very minimal meaning that I should add more locations into my video. They also identified that I should add more cast members into the video as I only had two people appearing in the video which is very minimal to find in a normal music video.



What changes will you make to your music video concept based on the feedback you received?

The changes that I will make to my music video concept based on the feedback that I received will most likely be changing the story line of what goes on in the video as my story line for the video was very basic, as it was basic it meant that it wouldn't really make a well made music video as it would look quite boring and simple, so I will change the story line and put more time into thinking of as better concept, I will also make different changes as I will add more locations to be used in the video as I only have two locations being used in my video, the more locations the more entertaining and well made the project will look.

Creating My Artist's Identity

Artist:
Inflowential


Artists name:

Inflowential

Record Label:
Unsigned

Facts:
Location: 

Gender: Males

Ethnicity: White and Black

Age:20-35

History:

"Having recently released their first album, the Inflow EP (Evolutionary Process), Inflowential is one of the foremost live acts in NC"
Clothing preferences:
The clothes that I would like the artist to wear would be smart/quite casual clothes such as;
  • Jeans or trousers
  •  
  • T-shirts and Jumpers or shirts


    • Trainers or shoes:

      Jackets or blazers:




      I have used these types of clothings becuase I would like my artist to look slightly casual and smart at the same time. I believe that this would make a good aspect as it is different, you'd normally expect to find an artist with a fixed costume set in their music video meaning they wear the same thing throughout and in my videos case the artist could be changing their costume throughout the song and this would show that it wants to show more affection and meaning to the video.

       

      Typography:


      Konanur Kaps Regular
      Kramer Regular

      Lettres ombrees ornees Regular
      Medici Text Regular
       

      Monument Regular




      I have chosen these 5 fonts because I like them the most out of all the other fonts I have researched. The fonts look very detailed and and create attention as they look very sharp. As the websites I used to make these fonts did not use colour, in the video I will have the actual font have different colours for each word to look entertaining and also by changing colour it will also show references to the songs name which is 'Changes'.


      Mise-en-scene and Imagery:



      As the locations would start off dark, I would like to firstly show a dark location whilst the rapper is rapping and for the imagery it would sort of make the audience feel quite sad as a dark location would refer to sad thoughts.
      In this image we see a dark location being brightened with street lights, I would like one of my rapper rapping on this kind of location to make it look very detailed and make the rapper look like they are glowing.

      This picture is of the city of Boston, as the rapper raps 'don't get lost in Boston' it could result in the audience thinking about the city and how it looks.

      As the song gets to the midway point I would like the locations to somehow get a bit brighter showing that the mood had also brightened. Even though the song stays on the same aim which is 'changes' I would like the video to show many changes so it associates with the name and meaning of the song.




      Colours:




      I would somehow like all of these colours to be shown in the music video as they are all quite bright colours. As the song is about changes that go on in life, I am thinking to make the colours associate with the changes that go on in life. The colours could be changing throughout the song to emphasise changes.

      I have chosen these two friends of mine to be the artists in the music video. As there will be two separate artists rapping their own verses, these two people will rap the two artists verses.They are both very good at lip synching and also have vague acting skills which will help for the video. Their names are Anil Vaghela and Abdullah Dayah.
