No.36 - Revisions to pitch and final Decisions

From our feedback we gathered that at first our storyline wasn't actually that clear until one of our group member had to explain it. Also they were not clear on the synergy aspects either. We were also told that our biggest problem was our record label as we had chosen Def Jam records which isn't really a pop label. So were asked to change that.

What we will be changing:
-Make the storyline more clearer next time.
-Make it clear that the black and white theme, the vintage microphone and the necklace are all synergy.
- Finally change the record label to something else that is more our genre, pop orientated. ( We chose to go with Capitol Records)

Reflection on Progress

Excellent work. The very best I have seen so far in any class, keep this up :-) Your posts are creative, meaningful and detailed. I look forward to seeing what else you will produce.
-       Your self-reflection post is pretty much entirely accurate
- Lots of photos/images should be presented in a slideshow
-       Avoid making your blog too long


My media teacher Marisa Providence marked my blog tasks and gave me an 18/20. She agreed with me on what i have to improve which was to add more pictures. During my planning blog tasks I was determined to achieve these aims which I think I achieved.

Planning: Ideas

As our song choice did not have a music video I decided to make a presentation on the ideas we developed for our original music video.



This is the annotation of the lyrics from my chosen song:



Improvement on the Industry Pitch Task (Seren Esmanoglu)

During our pitch feedback it we was told that our chosen record label was not suitable for our genre which is Pop and that it was more RnB. So I improved my pitch task by changing the record label.





Pitch Feedback





- After our pitch was presented we got feedback from both our teacher and our class mates. Some people were not sure on the structure of our music video and some of the locations, but after a small discussions we made our ideas more clear and showed our finished storyboard to show how we will improve our final video. After feedback we improved by changing our wider audience to have more people listening to our artist which, would help us to improve our final video by thinking about what our wider audience would want to see as well as our main target audience. Another thing which, we improved and changed for our video was the record label as it was not suitable for our genre so we changed it from Def-Jam records to Capitol records.

 The key element we will be using is the necklace 
Also throughout all our products we will be using the dark theme, black and white. This theme goes well with our artist as they will be a pop artists singing sad music.
 Our font will be the same in all of our products.
Our artist will wear formal clothing: Suits, this goes well with our sophisticated theme.
The use of the vintage microphone.

no.34 Pitch: Risk Assessment (Nana Kofi)

The following risks were anticipated:
  • Leaving of equipment unprotected.
  • Risk of not being able to hear the music as shooting in public places.
  • Risk of not being allowed to film in some public locations.

  • Risk of not being allowed to film in some public locations



  • Risk of tripping as the person recording will be walking backwards.









  • Risk of getting camera wet.











Ways to reduce risk:
  • Always have someone looking after the equipment
  • Have some one guide the person recording the music video.
  • Shoot at a time of day that there is less noise and its less busy.
  • Enquire is the various places for filming have restrictions and if, permission could be requested.
  • Must have an umbrella/protective cover present in case of it starts to rain.

I used this photograph to take inspiration from and obviously I added the microphone on, as this is one of our key elements of synergy we will be using.



This is a drawing draft of what my didgipak will look like, obviously everything will be dark not just the cover and the cd holder.
