Pitch Reflection

~ Pitch Reflection ~

The extra detail that I would have liked to included was how I could appeal my artist point of view to the government and how he doesn't like how the system is run, also add more information on interpreting my lyrics as I didn't really discuss that in my presentation much so the audience wouldn't have really been able to know the meaning behind the song and why my chosen artist wrote those lyrics. The way I described my idea of how I want my video to been seen was not seen as very creative as I didn't fully explain myself and this was a lack in my technical ability to exactly explain what my thoughts were and how I would use the camera work for example the shot types and camera angles and how I would edit it an explaining the software I would use and the reasons for using that software which is 'Final Cut Express'. From the practical point of view my idea is well doable due to the locations being local and not far of travel and the idea is simple as there is nothing to complicated that will cause a disruption when planning everything out for the music video. During the presentation I didn't speak much about 'Star Persona' and this would be to allow the audience watching the music video to gain a better understanding of the artist.


My audience identified that I chose a good target audience of being black teenagers to young black men, they also agreed on the choice of my location and how the music video will be illustrated and this was shown when Miss Lownes nodded her head in understanding what I was trying to get across. I got feedback that the way I had presented my presentation and overall thoughts and idea's were good but some improvements were on the context on how the music video would relate to my chosen genre of the song to enable a clear idea illustrated in the music video to the audience. The audience also identified the camera techniques and how doable the idea was an it was given to as a strength due to the chosen conventions. The audience identified that strength of my presentation was using 'Final Cut Express' to edit the footage in order to produce a music video and also the camera techniques used such as close ups, establishing shots, mid shots and also being creative through using a green screen to make the idea expand and seem outside the box. Goodwin's theory of 'Star Persona' was shown to be a strength as this would help show the emotions and expressions on the artist face and also 'Amplifying' this would help enhance the mood of the song for the audience to gain a better understanding of it.


The audience that I addressed in my presentation identified that I needed to find a way of how I would make the government a target audience and when I thought about this I could make them a target audience through being creative and recording the police driving and taking pictures of a police station. From the technical aspect I was given the impression that through my camera work I could vary the lighting and  shot types to give my music video a more professional look. I used to of Goodwin's Music Theory ideas and these were 'Star Persona' and 'Amplifying' and I chose to use these as I thought they would help represent my music video best however to make my music video better I could have added more of Goodwin's ideas in. The preacticallity of my music video was very simple and I this was identified as an area of improvment to go outside the box and become more creative and thoughtful with the ideas I came up with an expand on them more.

The possible changes I could make to my music video creative wise based on the feeback is expanding my ideas in location and the overall plot of the music video instead of keeping it basic with one element on effect being the green screen. The only thing need to become doable was making sure I make the government stand out more in my music video to directly address them as a target audience and this was decided to take pictures of the police, police cars and political things that my artsit doesn't agree with so the audience also gain an understanding of him. There wasn't any changes about my editing and camera work technically from the audience feedback however if I can think of any changes to make it appeal to the audience more it will be something I would need to change and adjust to. There conventions I chose based on Goodwin's Theory was good as there were no changes that I would have needed to make or adjust according to the audience's feedback. The audience did like my overall idea however the main change I was told to make is to ensure my music video appeals to my target audience through the way I have chosen how I would like it done for the audience.
