Within a week I have 4 lessons of media two with Mr Clark and two with Mr Mallen. The first two lesson the class had was for people to finish of their music video pitch and get feedback. In the third lesson of the week decided who our partners will be. I decided to pick Ravinder because we are very close friends and I wanted to be partner with Ravinder because he has more experience with the cares and the wide range of shots that I want to use. Ravinder also wanted to work with me because out of eleven students in the class only two have had past experience with final cut express and I am one of them. The reason Ravinder decided to pick me was because I have experience with the editing software and my idea contradicts the normal relationship status. In this week we was set our first task as a partnership to make a group video called “group rational”

 the YouTube video was about why we  picked each other and how picking each other would benefit us and if we were going to take ideas from the rejected video. In this week there was one big problem because one of the actors from Ravinders video sujeeth couldn’t act in the holiday because he would be busy in the holidays with his family so instead of having a male relationship we thought still having a homosexual relationship but with two females that we know Ama and Kulsoom. For the following week our plan is to compete the “planning you video” sheet we also want to start and complete out shooting script so we can get on with the filming 

Pitch power point

Pitch Reflection

If I was to do my music video pitch again I would because there are a lot of things I would like to mention for example I would improve on my terminology because when talking and the conventions I didn't mention Andrew Goodwin’s name about the start personal and I was not as interactive with the audience as others may have shown. I would also make clear what my music video idea will be because I think that when doing the pitch I didn't explain the story line as I wanted to I think that happened because the nerves got the best of me. The story line was that there with be a relationship with a male and female and the female cheats on the male in the relationship he tries to win her back to show the message of the song to not give up when it comes to love.

When receiving the feedback they thought that the video idea was one of the typical boy meets girls video so I replied and say well I do a agree but I also have a backup plan which contradicts relationship music videos and the lyrics and the relationship its self because a male and female are going out but the male goes in to a homosexual relationship which contradicts videos then the male breaks up with the female but the female won’t give up on him but then she meets another male and gets in to a relationship and the homosexual couple move in together and so do the male and female relationship. When doing the music video pitch they thought that the actors were one of the strengths because I wanted to use people that are not being used by other and are close to me and I know that would help me and who I can rely on. One of my other strengths was being creative because not many videos have a homosexual relationship in the video and is the main couple in there. I think having a video that has a homosexual relationship is contradicting enough because it goes against the lyrics e.g. “baby girl I want you back in my life ill carry you over my shoulders if I have to” I thought that a male would carry the other male over his should because the gender is not a girl like the singer says.

When getting feedback from the audience they said I should improve on the idea then I spoke about the second idea. As we all are friends we would know if anyone is nervous and they came across to I was a bit nervous because the pitch was important and they identified that as one off my weaknesses even thought I have a background in YouTube and acting they said I should also improve on my terminology as I said before about Andrew Goodwin.

If I was to do my music video pitch I would jump to it because I think the nervous got the best of me and I would make the homosexual relationship as the main story line because the audience identified that, that was the strongest story for me to do with a r&b song and I would be more interactive with the audience e.g. including them in the pitch and if they understand
