The Pitch

After we had chosen the song that we wanted to make the music video for, we had to do a pitch about why we wanted to use this song. We also had to include in the pitch want are idea was for are music video, what roles each person in the group would have, narrative ideas, performance ideas, an analysis of the lyrics, etc.

Here below is an actual working PowerPoint, to see the next slide click on the arrows. Below here is each of the slides explained, to see the slides bigger click on them.

This first slide of the pitch was a bit of background information on the group The killers.

The second slide in the pitch is the slide on the lyrics. Parts of the lyrics have been changed colours so that they are either green or orange. At the bottom of the slide it explains what the different colours means.

The next slide explains what the different narrative ideas that we have for the music video. About are ideas for the rumors being spread and how we are going to show this in the video, through using the grayscale effect.

This slide is about what we are thinking about doing for the performance parts of the music video. After presenting the pitch we chose that it would be better not to do a performance in the type of locations that are on this slide. As these locations are too much like The Killers locations that they use. So we have chosen that it would be better to do the performance on a pier. As this would not be too much like The Killers locations that they use for their performances.

 This next slide is on the costume that will be worn in the video, the props that will be used and the roles that each member of the group will have. In this slide we have said that for the performance the band members they will dress in formal clothing like The Killers. After the pitch we chose that we will not have the band dressed like The Killers, ass this would be too similar. So the band members will be wearing less formal clothes, they will be wearing jeans and t-shirts for the performance.

The props that will be used for the performance are shown here on the slide.

The roles are shown here below. With Cam, Jack and Michael in the band with Alex being the lead singer. I (Chloe) will be filming the band performance. Everyone will be sharing out the filming for the rest of the video for the narrative. I (Chloe) will also be the one how will be doing the blog so I will be doing all most all of the blog posts. We chose to have someone how will do the blog, to make sure that we have all the things on the blog that we need, so that we can gain a good mark on the planning stage which is what the blog is for. 

This slide shows how will be doing what in the band. Are band is called the influence. It will consist of four members; the slide shows how will be doing what in the band. There is the band logo here below. We changed the logo after the pitch; the new logo is shown here below the slide.

This slide below is the last slide, on are ideas for the killers shots in the video. We will not be doing the second killer shot, as we will not be using that location for the performance part of the video. So we will be having a killer shot of the band performing on the pier.
