Pitch - Feedback

The main aspect that was missing from our PowerPoint was the lack of imagery. There were points that a textual explanation couldn’t cater for, so more images were added before it was uploaded.

It wasn’t initially clear how we were going to get the aspect of revenge across. We at first thought a could idea would be to display a messy bed-room as if it had been wrecked. However, it was brought up that it could just be a teenager who’s room was always in this state, so we would have to be a bit bolder with how we went about this. The first decision was to actually show the girls wrecking the bedroom. Not just making a mess, but actually breaking tearing, and burning his belongings. This should be enough to give the impact we’re looking for.

There would also have to be one definite moment to mark, a point in which his prized possession is destroyed. We decided that a mangled bike would do nicely, and we continue to look for an un-used bike for this reason.

As well as a bike, it would be good to have something with a real visual impact also. It was mentioned that a feather pillow thrown from a window would look decent, so we stuck with this. If we could play this in good quality slow-motion this would be better. Along with the bike and pillow ideas, we drew up a list of alternate revenge tactics that we could use at different points in the music videos:

- Burning photographs.
- Cutting up clothes and toys.
- Dropping electronics into water.
- Digital revenge (via Facebook, e-mail, etc)
- Leaving the boyfriend a video of their destructive acts.
- A dose of laxatives.

We will need to decide the props and locations we will be filming in. The ancillary tasks that were shown are fully pictorial, and so not a lot can be said about them. We’ve chosen to display our work in the form of a magazine cover and a CD cover for this section, and I’m confident that this won’t be a problem.
