Pitch Feedback

Having presented my Animoto video pitch to my peers I now have some feedback that I can take to modify the idea surrounding my video. My teacher gave me a lot to think about, some positive, some negative. The main thoughts were:

• The mise en scene would be a big part of my video and that if I wished to make it effective, I'll have to ensure that all my actors have make up and clothing that fits into the Marilyn Manson style of fashion. I have to ensure that it is done well and doesnt look rushed or out of place.
• I have to make sure that all of the people staring in my video go into it with an open mind. I need them to go all out to make it work and realise that it might not if a few of them become shy about their role.
• The location I am using of a wooded area is slightly cliche and overused for certain styles of music video and he said that I should vary it up slightly to prevent it becoming stale and boring.
• He also felt that I need to break up the narrative with some performing shots to link it to the song.

Overall however, I feel that if I get the right people and the right look, my video could turn out really good, though it could also turn out looking overthetop or like a parody just as easily. It's definitely a risky idea.
