Feedback on my music video ideas
September 08, 2017
This week I pitched my music video ideas to Phil and the class. I put my blog up on the screen and went through each idea, showing them the songs I want to use, the images that went with the ideas, and the storyline that went with it (if there was one).
Here is the video of the feedback (my phone ran out of storage so I only managed to get the first minute).
Idea 1 - Hostage
- Most people liked this one the most
- Easier to do but effective and could look good
- Different
- Reminded me to add the 3rd element of the bank robbery itself to add a bit of movement and action to the video
Idea 2 - Shake Her
- Roller disco is different
- Needs more than one location so I thought about adding in a bowling alley as well as a roller disco to add another element
This feedback helped me to broaden this idea by adding one or two more elements or locations to it, otherwise the same imagery may get boring.
Idea 3 - Talk About Forever
- Could come across as naff, or like a theatre production, so would need good set, costume and makeup to be effective
- Would need a bigger budget to pull off, which we don't have, so the idea may not work as well as I'd want it to
- Someone suggested adding a sacrifice(?)
- Phil said that we'd 'burn through those shots really quick' and would need at least 10 different scenes to make it work and be interesting as it could get old very quickly, so I could think of more shots to add to the video, or make add more lip syncing
This feedback really helped to develop my idea because it made me see how it would actually come across on camera and that it may not be as easy as I thought to create an interesting video from a few different scenes, and makes me need to think of more imagery and what I actually want on camera.

Hi Ellis
ReplyDeleteI think you have picked up most of the main points, well done. For your last idea it might be worth having a look at 'Gold' from last year and just counting how many elements they incorporated - that would give you a sense of the volume of imagery that you might need to sustain interest. The more movement in the imagery and the more visually interesting each element is, the more mileage you are likely to get. Please clear some space on your phone so you can use video, it is a very effective way of gathering evidence of your research and planning. Well done Phil
