Pitching our Song


The syllabus said that we had to create a pitch for a music video, we to incorporate more of David Gauntlett's Web 2.0, we did it on the popular slideshare.net website. Follow the link below to see our pitch!

The Online Presentation:



_______________________________

Slide 1: 
Opening slide 

Slide 2:
The song that we have finally chosen to change from Olly Murs to is .... Michael Buble, Feeling good. 
The link below is Michael Buble's music video to the song. We have watched this repeatedly and studied the video to see what techniques have been used. 

Slide 3:
Micheal's video link once again. 

Slide 4: 
We have decided to create a performance based music video for this song because we think that it works effectively and we have the available resources to create such good footage for our own performance based video. The pictures on this slide are showing examples taken from Michael's video that we hope to recreate. 

Slide 5: 
Puzzle: The link is showing  the 'Gone in the morning' music video. I think that the puzzle idea in this video is a very challenging yet extremely effective idea. I like the way that greenscreen has been taken to a whole new level. We will try and add this in to our video as if we can pull this off it would look incredible. 

TV: the second idea we have had is to possibly use greenscreen inside the tv and then our artist presses play off the remote and the performance part of the video is playing inside the video. This could also work if done well. 

Driving: Although you see many A-Level music videos using the cheesy 'driving' footage, we believe that if this footage is done well, It can work extremely well and look amazing. But this is only if it is done to perfection and smoothly and not the normal 'easy' shots. 

Dolly-Tracking shots:  We plan to use the cars, with the camera in the boot to film the 'walking towards the camera shots' as with this filmed out of the back of a car, the footage would be smooth and look as professional as we can get our footage. 

Look into the camera: during our music video, we will have lots of shots where the artist in the video is staring directly into the lens to give the audience the sense as if the artist is singing the song to them and not to anyone. It will make the video more personal and connecting to the audience. 

round - 360: We will use a 360 shot as this is used within many music videos and looks great. this is also a challenging shot to pull off as it has to be done well and smoothly. 

Slide 6: 
Intertextual references: During our video, we will include references to other music videos and films as we feel that if the audience can relate this and link two videos, it will make the video more successful. 

Photoshoot: another idea that has been said is the idea of possibly using a photos hoot element? including photo snaps into the video, possible model shots to show the audience that the artist is successful and is not just a singer but a model too. 

Trinity theatre: I will explain about this on an upcoming slide. 

Slide 7:
From working at a theatre over christmas, I have recently contacted them to see if it would be possible to use the theatre for a few hours to do some filming in a professional location. We have been granted permission to use the theatre for a morning to film the performance part of our video. We could not be grateful enough as using a professional venue such as Trinity Theatre, will give us some stunning footage and some professional looking footage. We are very excited to our filming day here! 

Slide 8: 
For the performance part of the video that we will be filming at Trinity theatre, We will be using a silver mic stand, with a retro silver mic. We think that these will look great with the lights bouncing off the metal of the equipment. I will do a separate blog about the camera that we will be using to film. 

Slide 9:  
For our front cover for our CD case, I have come up with an idea that could be used. My idea is to have three separate beams of lights shining down on the arists who is standing center stage, with one hand on the mic. I think that this would be an extremely dramatic, cover to an album and would portray our artist perfectly. 

Slide 10:
The End, Thank you, any questions?
