The Pitch and Feedback




Feedback from audience:
A lot of the comments on the feedback asked how we were going to make our idea original. It is evident just from listening to a selection of songs from any genre that one of the most, if the most, sung about thing is love and relationships. As our song lyrics are based on love, 'if your going I'm going too', 'are you in love, in love' etc, it would be extremely difficult to make an original music video which only element was love. That is why within our video we decided to have four very different elements blended together in order to achieve originality. The wheel turning as the tape is being pulled out of the cassett, the cathedral bells, the idea of freedom, and then the theme of love will all be intertwined to produce an original music video. We both agreed that it would be unwise to ignore the lyrics, and not include any aspect of love at all, because it may effect how the song and the video fit together, we want it to be absolutely clear that the video we make, belongs to the song 'Seeing Things' by Lakota Soux'.
Another issue was raised about the filming of the Malvern hills; the weather, and the transport. Because we will be filming in January we understand that the weather is likely to be cold and miserable; therefore we have made sure that our concept will work in any environment, we will be able to film no matter what the weather. Obviously if we can avoid the rain it would be better, the equipment wouldn't wet and the actors might be in a more co-operative mood, therefore we will look at the weather forecast within the time period we have for filming, and book the cameras on the days when it is least likely to rain. Transport won't be a problem either, I can drive, and our male actor, Jake Glass can also drive, so we can easily drive to Malvern, as it wont take very long, and park just below the main paths up to the hills; the camera and tripod weigh very little so walking with them will not be an issue.
