Feedback From Pitch

Most of the feed back we had we positive although there was some negative feedback too. Here's a general overview of the feedback

Positives:

They liked the idea of our video.

Target audience has been chosen correctly.

The animal masks they really like and its different.

Seems realistic.

They like that we planned our locations.

Like the animals stalking the main character idea.

Negatives:

Electricity - Getting the light to the trees, they thought that this would be a problem and we need to think of a way to solve this.

Lighting - Issue with filming when it gets dark is to find a place that we can use to power the lights.

What time we film - This is because of the light.

Music Video Pitch

This is mine and Lauren's slideshow for our pitch. 

These slide are just an overview of our ideas for our music video, most of the ideas came from what we said.

Slide 1
The name of our song and the artist that made it and a link to a video of the song.

Slide 2
The picture of the people in animal masks is a shot from the 1973 film The Wicker Man, this was our inspiration for the animal masks idea, the green writing is some of our own ideas that we came up with, the drawings are some of our classmates ideas they thought of when they heard our song, the ones circled in green are the ideas we liked and will try to incorporate into our music video.

Slide 3
This is our mood board, it shows some of the ideas we had on the last slide but makes it easier to see them, we're going to have a camp fire but for health and safety reasons not allow the actors within a reasonable  distance of the fire, also for the fire works we will get an adult to light them for us, the idea of the fog/mist  is one of my favourites as it gives it a creepier feel but also it makes it more mysterious, hopefully making the audience wonder what is  in the fog/mist.

Slide 4

The locations are all available within a short distance of each other and we have easy access to them. The first location seen in the video will be the room but the room will only have a bed in this will give it a slightly creepy look to it. We will then cut to the forest scene and have our main actor walking or running through it this will hopefully be when we can incorporate the fog/mist, she will then be shown in a camping party in the field, here she will become disorientated and we would like to use a snorricam but because we don't have one we will probably get our actor to hold the camera and spin around.

Slide 5
This slide shows the costumes we plan to use, the main character will be wearing coat and scarf because we think it would suit our music video and we don't want our actor to get cold, the people who are wearing the animal masks will be wearing casual clothes with the masks  

Slide 6
On this slide is our list of props, the smoke machine, a guitar and some fireworks the smoke machine we can hire from a company, from £15 a day, the guitar will be mine and we will have to send an adult out to get the fire works as we are not 18 yet and cannot legally buy them 

Creativity

Is Creativity A Skill?

some points to think about are

Can we develop it?

Although some people may be more skilled then others, Do we all have the potential to improve it?

How can we learn how to be creative.

Does knowledge of culture/art, help us be more creative?

I Think a knowledge of culture and art can help us be more creative, because the more you can have to draw inspiration from. you can take different aspects from your sources and put them together to create something new. They may also inspire people to create something based around their products.

Does a knowledge of creative "tools" help us be more creative?

A knowledge of creative tool does help us be more creative because they allow us to create ideas that are not available, for example green screen someone into a computer generated background, or creating explosions look bigger and adding in sound if the sound you filmed is unusable

Does media technology inhibit creativity? Are we more "free" without media technology?

I think it enables us to do more with less cost and less props/actors/locations. It allows for more freedom because it can permit us to do more and create new things

How creative are media producers?

Media producers are somewhat creative because although they come up with interesting and new ideas, the people who produce the ideas that the producers come up with are more creative because they take the ideas and make them a physical thing, they also tell the media producer what ideas he can and can't use.

Health and Saftey

Fire: 

To minimise this risk we are making sure that there is a reasonable distance that the cast stay away from the fire.

We will have a adult around at all times to keep and eye and also start the fire for us.

When we have finished with the fire we will make sure that it is put out properly. An adult will do this for us.

Fire extinguishers will be nearby just in case there is a accident that is caused. 

Fireworks:

To light these fireworks we will have a responsible adult to do this for us.

The fireworks will be lit from a distance to that if there is any problems they won't be near anybody.

Lake: 

We will have life safety floats, so if anyone falls in we will have something to throw at them and help get them out.

The cast won't be standing near the edge of the lake. 

Wires:

To reduce the risk of people tripping on the wires, we will tape the wires to the floor.
