I was really happy with the feedback that I received after presenting my pitch. I felt that the comments really helped me to realise that my ideas are creative and different to those of a conventional music video. Some of the replies were just put at "Awesome" and some others mentioned how the talking chins idea was completely different, unique and will add comedy and humour which put my mind at rest because I felt as though using the idea of a talking chin to match to the lyrics was a huge risk and thought that many people and audiences wouldn't really appreciate the idea.
Also on the logistical side feedback was great as people had managed to realise that we were a well organised group and that we had taken in to consideration that the band were from Birmingham and that transport may be an issue. We addressed this problem by regular staying in contact with the band and also arranging times, dates and also who is going to drive up and down from A to B. Target audience was not a problem either as we did a good description of who we thought would listen to the bands music. We also talked about the jicnar and pyscographic scale and why we thought are target audience would fit this specific window and what makes them the way they are.
However because we have said that some of the lyrics in our song remind us of lower class citizens and maybe those who are D on the jicnar scale, people who hang around on street corners and causing trouble (chavs) they got confused that we were stuck between choosing either indie or chavs as our main audience which was not the case. We didn't really understand why people wrote that our target audience was suitable for the indie genre and then they wrote chavs and indie do not mix, when we clearly said in the pitch and wrote on the presentation that a certain few lyrics reminded us of maybe something a chav would day.
Furthermore i was really happy that people liked the song and that they said they thought it would be an excitable project to make and maybe to expand. I would really like to make sure they we take risks on this music video and maybe film any ideas that me and Tasmin have in the future. I am looking to make a completely unique and disjunctive music video and i think by adding loads of different ideas such as talking chin and food fights in to the swing it will make the video stand out and make it completely different to those of others. However I do know that adding to many ideas to the video may over power and be to much in our audiences faces so it is important that we do not go over board.
Overall I am happy with the constructive criticism and positivity that I had received for my pitch and felt like I was a complete success on my groups half.
