Focus Group for Pitch

 Using Microsoft Teams the HNC group was able to set up a focus group meeting in which we pitched our music video to each other and offered each other feedback in order to improve our ideas. We each spent around 15 minutes talking about our individual ideas and offered our honest opinions. I believe this was a valuable research method, the sample of people within the focus group was effective as all the individuals are currently studying music video production therefore, everyone has an interest in what is going on and were able to offer feedback which can greatly improve the production. The goal of the meeting was to pitch our ideas and find ways to improve them, we was successful at achieving this goal, I believe one way in which we could have improved the pitch was to have pre-prepared questions ready to ask each other about the production in order to offer a chance to gather better more in depth research. Below I have attached a recording of our pitch meeting as evidence. 


Within the meeting I was able to pitch my idea for the song "Do I Wanna Know" by the Arctic Monkeys, I was given a lot of valuable feedback on how I could structure the video, I was also offered advice on how I could incorporate specific editing techniques which I was inspired to use from Bruno Mars' music video for "Locked out of Heaven". I found this meeting very helpful, as you can see in the video, my pitch post was not fully complete during the time of the meeting, since that meeting I have been able to add a full analysis of the lyrics with a short summary of what type of shot could be used to compliment the lyrics. The meeting helped me outline all my ideas, being able to speak to a group of people also helped me understand my idea better myself as it gave me a better idea of what I was actually producing. I believe this focus group although helpful, was inconclusive and badly planned therefore, I plan to conduct a second focus group which has a specific goal in mind with specific questions to ask the participants.

8mm Montage (FINISH)

What is 8mm Montage and Why is it Use?  The use of montage in film has been used for decades, it creates many creative outcomes which all have a different effect on the audience. The use of 8mm film or a 8mm film look using post production can create a nostalgic home movie aesthetic which connects with the audience and allows them to engage more with the content being shown to them. If creating the home family movie look using post production the use of layers of film damage to give the footage a more vintage, nostalgic look, this is an experimental approach which could produce some creative content. The use of 8mm film footage could be a good way to suggest to an audience the narrative is non-linear and they are telling a narrative happening in the past. The approach gives a very creative narrative which keeps the audience engaged without being too confusing to follow. The use of a montage sequence allows use to reveal a large amount of information in a short amount of time allowi...
