After we showcased our pitch to our teacher and received our feedback it was time to improve upon our existing pitch. The feedback indicated that the song choice was a good choice as it gave us the opportunity to combine all of the different sounds from the instruments in with a range of camera shots such as the drum beats etc. However she then went on to say that despite the good choice of song there were some issues involving the clothing, location and band members. When discussing the clothing she said that we would need to incorporate more pictures of the actual clothing we would expect to use in our video within our pitch to give a better insight of the elements of our video. In relation to the choice of location she said that the lighting would be an issue in our suggested location as it would be hard to keep a consistent light across all the shots from the video and also due to the changing of the season it would be much more difficult to be able to shoot in this location as the amount of daylight will be limited, resulting in poor camera quality. Therefore more research needs to be done in order to find a suitable location for our music video in the next pitch.  Finally in terms of the actors she said that the suggested vocalist of Sam Gale may not be appropriate for the role as there is a chance he may not match the voice of the lead singer of Imagine Dragon and it would therefore effect the overall authenticity and realism of the video and so we would need to do a practice shoot where we film Sam singing the song and we will play it back and see if he is able to fit the voice we require.
