Pitches- Feedback

Today we had to pitch our two ideas to our seminar groups. Its quite interesting to see how other people interpreted the brief and the many directions the groups had taken. When it came to our turn to pitch, it was quite interesting as the group was very undecided on which idea they like best, the tutor’s seemed to be in favour of the record shop idea, while the group seemed to prefer the graffiti idea.

The tutors really seemed to like the first idea as they felt it was quite unique and spike seemed like an interesting character. However with us not been able to access the shop and now the record collection been sold it was quite hard to see what we would film and the lack of cut always could be a problem and make the film quite boring and static.

The main problem with the graffiti idea was that they had seen a lot of student videos about graffiti and said doing a documentary about peoples perceptions had been told many times. Another problem they had with the idea was how liable our contact was, which is understandable and the fact our other contacts haven’t got back in contact with us was a problem. Although they seemed to really like the visual side of the documentary and with we tweaked the potential was there.

After the pitch we all met up to decided on which idea we was going to chose, although they seemed to prefer the record shop idea, we decided to chose the graffiti as we saw a lot more potential. Instead it challenging peoples perception it was now going to be a celebration of street art and the future of the art form.
