Pitch and Pitch Feedback.
Pitch
I presented my pitch in front of my peers to gain feedback.
In presenting my pitch I found myself to be quite nervous. I felt as if I hadn't made my ideas quite clear and for that I believed my pitch had suffered. However during the feedback I came to the realisation that my idea was very understood. I received very good feedback with very little criticisms which were easily dismissed. I am going to pursue my idea as it is very favorable among my audience and its an great idea to develop. I have chosen to go along with the song I Like with Tink. As this song works better for the ideas I have for the video.
Pitch Feedback
Overall my pitch was very well received. With very minimal criticisms. However criticisms that I did receive I reflect and altered my idea ever so slightly.
One criticism that stood out to me was the visuals for the end product. For example, the statement was 'How would I make it so that it doesn't look cringey?' Honestly that question couldn't be answered without having a draft of the video. Even though a classmate believed that the concept was strong enough that it wouldn't look as such. This did resonate with me. So a way that I would amend it would be to have small viewings of my footage to my focus group. With feedback from them I can still be making amendments which are necessary.
Another criticism which occurred was the idea that the resolution of the SnapChat videos wouldn't be the same as the others. However this is what I wanted to achieve. With inspiration for Alessia Cara music video to 'I'm Yours.' She filmed the entire video with her phone and a selfie stick. I want to capture the essence of youth and the use of using social media is quite popular so I was quite taken with the idea of using SnapChat for additional footage. Again support by another peer the idea was commented to be good. However I chose not to go with this idea.
Another problem I came across was my cast members. I started out with David Starowicki and Ini Ojo however due to personal circumstances the cast changed ever so slightly. I'm currently trying to recruit two other people, nothing yet has been confirmed.
As you can see there were't many problems with my pitch and it seemed to be very well received and the constructed criticism I received did help me improve my idea. Hopefully like the pitch my first draft will also be well received.
