Progress So Far.. (Part 2)

I would give myself a 17/20 for my blog posts so far this year.

Planning- THE PITCH IS HERE!

Here is the finished pitch we presented in all its glory!

Filming with Group 21 (Day 1)

Production - Dance rehearsal

Today Khadeeja and I met up with Eugenie as she is going to dance in our music video. We are having other dancers who are in fact in the college from the dance department. Eugenie was the only one that was available to meet up with us to do a dance rehearsal. I was behind the camera because we had to have evidence.

Eugenie learnt the dance moves quick, obviously at the beginning as it was her first try out she was getting to know the dance moves but at the end she got it and loved it and we all had fun!

First day of filming...

After pitching our ideas on Friday morning, we thought we'd go straight out and film! The first day of filming was at my house as we were filming the living room scene, every member of the group was participating in what we thought would make a good first scene in our music video and after some agreements and disagreements we managed to come out with some great clips in a relatively short amount of time, which I thought was pretty impressive. We didn't have any problems with the setting or costume etc. which allowed the filming to flow well.

I look forward to filming again!

Pitch- How did it go?

On Friday me and my group were asked to pitch our ideas to our teacher and the class. For this pitch we had to outline what we were doing, how we were going to do it and also when we are doing it. Our group was the first one to pitch our ideas, followed by some really good pitch's from the other groups. I thought overall the pitch went really well for several different reasons. And here's why...

I think my group and I were really organised a fair time before the pitch and each person knew what they were doing, and went through each designated part in great detail. At first I felt a bit nervous talking in front of the class but then I slowly got into it so I became a lot more confident displaying me and my groups ideas.

I think we covered everything possible in our pitch, but we maybe could have been a bit more detailed with the production schedule and talked more about the dancers' role in the video, apart from that I thought it was great.

Synergy Incorporation

Throughout this project it is essential to incorporate synergy within our artist. Me and my group looked at different artists who had an ongoing theme across all areas of their media. For example, Wretch 32 uses a black and white theme now that he has brought out his new album 'Black and White' and everyone featured in the video for his main single 'Don't go' is dressed in black and white clothing. Disclosure are another example of artists who incorporate synergy, they do this by the frequent featuring of the masks they put over their face, which also appear in their videos.

The use of synergy that we will use across all our media platforms is the logo for Romy's name, which is simply Romy. The reason as to why we used this is because it's simple, easy to remember and is also the artists real name. We are going to incorporate this into all our products to show some consistency within the artist.
