Planning Pitch

Hi all,

 

Once you have completed your initial focus group with members of your target audience you will need to start working on your planning PowerPoint pitch. This will give you an opportunity as a group to pitch your ideas back to members of the class, who will hopefully give you constructive feedback on your ideas before you go off to start filming (NOONE IS GOING TO STEAL YOUR IDEAS!)

 

Below is a list of information that should be included in your PowerPoint:

 

1. Introduce chosen song
2. Genre (which conventions will you use/ develop or challenge?)
3. Star Image of artist (to include values and ideologies as well as physical appearance costume/styling)
4. Target audience (detailed audience profile)
5. Overall meaning/ concept of video
6. Intertextual references
7. Narrative synopsis of video
8. Animatic storyboard
9. Setting/ locations/ Props
10. Any questions (you should end the presentation by giving the audience an opportunity to ask questions – this will form part of your audience feedback and may help you to revise some of your original ideas)

 

I would advise that one person in the group take responsibility for the animatic storyboard and the other two members divide the sections on the PowerPoint between them?

 

DEADLINE:  FRIDAY 17^th OCTOBER (presentations will be given on the following Monday  20^th October)

Codes and Conventions Research Task (pt2)

EXTENSION TASK: 

Look at some past music videos from your chosen genre (1980’s-1990’s) - have the conventions been developed over time? Do the changes reflect a cultural shift in the ideological values of wider society? Or the development in technology?

2.  By now you should have detailed notes on a range of videos from your chosen genre. Turn the information gathered as well as clips of the videos themselves into a PowerPoint presentation, which you will present in pairs, back to the class.

Deadline:  Be ready to SUBMIT your work on Friday 12^th September.
