Feedback from pitch

Having completed our pitch we have received adequate feedback from the rest of the class on how they think it went and what their views of what we are doing are.
Within our pitch, the first thing we did was show the audience our mood board; so basically where the whole of inspiration has come from for the development thus far. I would say that the mood board went down well and that there were no arguments amongst the class and the audience of what music fits into what category and for this reason I feel the class is well aware of what we have in mind-genre wise- and where perhaps we might take our video.

This is the part of the pitch that I developed; the part of explaining where we might take of chosen video, and the genre that accompanies it and what we might do with it. We chose five songs to announce to the class and we described the details of each song that we liked. As was expected, enthusiasm was shown for some, whereas the same enthusiasm didn't stretch to others. For example I would say that out of the five songs we announced; two went down well with the class and one did not sit as well. The two songs which went down well I would say would be Reptilia by the Strokes and Hysteria by Muse. Reasons for why these songs were more popular, I believe lies with the fact that they are both large, well known and popular bands and plus recently they both headlined, arguably the largest festivals in the country; Reading and Leeds. So popularity ran high for both bands. The Song which did not go down as well as I'd hoped personally was Seven Years of Letters by The Twilight Sad. The reason for this is because the song is a bit of a minor key, slightly sadder and more depressing song; picked because the band has the same origins as The Almost Fallen. However, we took the audience views in to account, which is what the pitch is all about and have decided to scrap the idea of using The Twilight Sad.

To enable us to take the views of the audience into account we set up a poll on the blog and announced to the class during our pitch that we would like them to vote on the poll and thus we would base our decision around their views. Because of this we have come to the decision of either Hysteria or Reptilia. A decision we are deciding over carefully as both have equal scope for interesting videos. This is something that was discussed in the pitch and can be seen on our blog.

At the end of our pitch we received questions such as: How many in the band? What style of video will we do? Which song will we use?
These questions allowed us to express ourselves fully to the class but also to receive valuable feedback from the audience on what they think we should do with our video.
