Response to pitch

Overall our pitch went well. We put our case forward convincingly and were interested in the feedback from the other groups.

Everyone seemed to like our Alice in wonderland, surreal idea for the video and we got some good suggestions from groups on how to emphasize this effect. for example one group suggest that we film some of the shots upside down to fit with the confused look of the video. Our idea for the costumes and candles went down well also as we were very confident in the fact that it would work and look really good at the same time.

There was a bit of concern when referring to our location as people were worried we would have difficulty getting there and back and transporting our props there. Also there was some worry that we would be unable to film there easily and safely. We will take this into consideration but am sure our troubles with this will not be to severe.

There was also some anxiety with the amount of extras we said we wanted to use. There was quite a few but between the 3 members of our group we have secured many of the ones we need i.e two people to play the two bankers. We are going to bring along plenty to occupy the characters that we need people to play and will also have people as general extras such as with the Glastonbury scene with people outside the tent. If however we don't think there are enough we can cameo ourselves to fill the gaps.

Overall a good pitch with a lot of positive feedback and the parts people had a problem with we have successfully solved.

Initial Ideas For Video

We have decided to pitch for the song 57 by Kid Harpoon.

These are our initial ideas:

1)An out of hand teenage party with the singer singing on the flat roof of a garage.
Pros: good music and lyric to visual relationship
Cons: Dangerous and has been done before.

2)The band on punts with fans dancing around to them, in a more traditional; performance style video, used to promote the artist.
Pros: Easy to work with concept, good for artist
Cons: Punt hire expensive, no private location

3)The singer in a church, singing with a choir behind him, with flashbacks relating to the woman in the lyrics, and shots of her alone now in a big empty place.
Pros: Strong imagery, lyric to visuals relationship.
Cons: My be controversial with Christians.

4)A large maze with a woman running through it in high heels looking really over the top, tragically confused, running into dead ends where people are dressed up in costumes which represent the lyrcis in a very blatant way.
