Star Image Moodboard and Artist Profile

This is who our main singer would be, and how she would look like during the filming process out of the studio. These are also the outfits that the band would wear; it is based on our clothes, so therefore it would be comfortable, and easy to wear. Due to the cold weather during our filming times, it would be appropriate that the band would wear the outdoor coats when hanging outside. We as a group were looking for a minimalistic look therefore the colours are neutral and blend well together. The middle image is what our main singer would look like when wearing her outdoor clothing. 

This would be the outfits the band would wear inside the studio. We as a group were discussing how when we film the studio scene for the chorus, we would wear all black, especially if we are going to project pictures/videos onto us, it would then come out clearer. The black colour also connotes a rebellious look, and due to our genre being indie it fits into the category. The top right hand corner is my photo which would symbolise what the band would actually look like.

Planning pitch/Response to feedback

Response to feedback:
In the feedback we received, the revisions we are going to make to our initial ideas is by ensuring we have enough time to plan as we have a lot of locations to film in for the video, there are also issues in the props on where we would buy the sparklers and to be able to book the studio to film the band scenes in. Risk assessments were also taken into consideration as there could be health and safety issues, in terms of handling the sparklers and filming on location etc.

Powerpoint Pitch

Initial Focus Group/Response

This is our initial focus group where we asked them questions regarding our ideas for the music video and what they think we could do to improve and make it better in terms of how to visualize the ideas.

Questions asked:
What do you think of the song?
What do you think of our initial ideas?
How do you think we should represent the band, referring to our genre?
What do you think about our theme, 'youth'?
How else could we represent this in our video?

The feedback for the focus group helped to give us ideas on what we could include into the music video such as filming during night time till dawn to suit our concept, filming scenes in a car as they felt it suited the theme of youth the most. They also liked our ideas and concept for the music video and felt that it suited best with the genre and style of the song we have chosen, this is able to help us see that it would appeal to our target audience as the age group for our focus group is similar. However, they felt we could improve on the development of the narrative and be able to showcase this more into the video.
