Feedback on ideas

Today is presented my two ideas for a music video to the class. I was not looking forward to this as i hate presenting ideas to a crowd of people. It didn't go as bad as i was expecting though. The feedback was a mix of positive areas and areas i could work on.


For the music video for Eliza and The Bear's song Friends which was mainly going to take place on the beach i got some positive feedback from people saying that it was a good idea and that existing music videos like this worked really well and that its quite original. However obviously the location is quite difficult, this is because when we do the filming its going to be in the winter and therefor its going to be very hard to get down to the beach on a sunny day, and we wont have much filming time as the days are much shorter in the winter. I have taken into consideration that the beach most likely wont work and have thought about a few more ideas for a location, one could be in a bowling alley as it doesn't matter what the weather is like,  although the song doesn't fit as well in a bowling alley compared to the beach.


For the music video Fluorescent Adolescents by The Arctic Monkeys i also got mixed feedback. People really liked the idea about the studio and the lighting and how the lead singer will be spotlighted. They also liked how the shots would alternate between the studio as they thought it was quite cool to see the link between the lead singer and the women in the restaurant. However they thought that there should be more to the video as it would be quite boring just alternating between the studio and a restaurant. A suggestion was that the lead singer was to walk into the restaurant and started having an argument with the women which leads to him trashing the place up, however that would be very hard to find a restaurant to find that would A. let us come in and film and argument and B. the restaurant wouldn't let us trash it in. A way of avoiding this would be creating a set just like a restaurant and we would then be able to trash it up but the set at school wouldn't be big enough to make it seem like a real restaurant it would just be a few tables and therefore wouldn't look as realistic.
