Pitch Audience Feedback

After I showed my pitch I got some feedback from my class mates about what they liked about it and what else they wanted to know.
I got a few comments that people liked the surgery lines idea and the use of the hand held camera so I know that's something I definitely want to do. Most questions were about what actors I want to use. I haven't thought about that yet but I need one female, teenage lead and maybe two or three males.
I also got a lot of questions about how I want it to end. The answer to that is that I want her boyfriend to help her through it - to help her realise her worth. Thus revealing the message of the video that social media shouldn't pressure you to feel any differently about yourself, that you are worth it.

Treatment Pitch

Today we presented our pitches for our music videos and got a little bit of feedback at the end:

Inspiration - Cosmetic Surgery

While planning my music video pitch, I began watching a few other music videos for inspiration. I came up with an idea for my music video; to make the female lead draw the lines thats surgeons do to represent where they want to do cosmetic surgery, this'll represent where she wants to change her face/body in order to look "beautiful". Then I came across this music video which shows my idea really well at 2:37 - 2:47.

 

Planning The Pitch

Today, I spent the whole morning planning my pitch. I listened to my chosen song over and over, thinking of shots and ideas to do for each beat/lyric.
I also thought about what I can do with my shot composition, mise-en-scene and iconography to subvert the electropop/indie genre conventions to make my music video stand out amongst my target audience.
