Research and planning: Post-Pitch.

After we did the pitch in front of the class, we received some feedback comments which is needed to be considered when we come to planning the video.

As I am working with people in a different class to me, I am having to use Facebook, emails and texts to communicate when outside of college. I can see this being a slight problem when it comes to organising the actual video shoot, but it can easily be overcome if we prepare well in advance.

The feedback sheet had 6 different points the class could comment on:

"Comments on suitability for stated target audience"

The majority of the comments we had back for this agreed with us on our target audience, saying the genre of music would suit it. Although, a few people did say that it was a bit of a wide range target audience, and that we should have made it a bit more detailed/clear.

"Comments on the originality of the idea"

Many people liked our idea of having a homemade type feel to the video, saying it would fit our genre very well, and it would have an indie vibe. They also said that it could be more original if we showed them more ideas.

"Comments and thoughts on the logistical arrangements"

There were very mixed feelings on this area. A lot of people seemed to think that we didn't cover this in our pitch, I think this is because we didn't have a slide on it on the presentation, (people like to have visual aids to look at) but we did clearly read through our plans. The ones who did listen to our plans said that we seemed quite organised, and as we know the main performing artist, we know that she is reliable to turn up to filming sessions. They also said that we have good communication within our group.

"Comments on the technical aspects of the idea - does it sound achievable with the college equipment?"

Everyone said that it is an achievable idea with the equipment we have availabe, as it is simple and can easily be done.

"Does the idea sound realistic?"

Most people agreed that it is an achievable idea, is very possible and not too challenging.

"Overall, does this idea sound exciting and achievable?"

People mainly said that is is achievable, but seem to think that it won't be exciting. We can improve people's thoughts on this by maybe producing storyboards and clear ideas.
