Weekly Production Log
The main thing I did this week was my presentation which I had to explain my idea of what I wanted my music video to look like and its called the pitch and I had to show it to the class.
After I had done the presentation straight after you had to do a Q and A where the audience will ask you questions of your presentation if they wasn't clear on anything or they wanted to know anything that you let of.
Me and my group have a clear idea on what we are going to have in our music video the people and the order which I think is good because its better then what we had before. if the people we have chosen are not able to film we can still ask some other people to help us with the roles that need to be done.Now we know our story line and how every things going to plan like the locations we know what scene needs to be in that specific location. But now we have got a brief idea on our whole music video the only problem at this point can be if people drop out but we can just get other people to fit the roles.

Pitch Reflection
Are there any areas of the presentation you would like to give any more detail on?
I needed to put more creativity into my ideas because I don't think I put so much detail into the information I gave when I was explaining the conventions I used I think I needed to give more detail into my ideas on why I was using them. I didn't explain why i was using lip syncing which important and i skipped it. When I was explaining about the locations I was use i need to give more detail on why i was gonna use it like how I would have used the street I should have said I would have had my artist walking down the street rapping into the the camera. Looking back on my presentation I saw that I missed out varied camera language I would use that because it will show different emotions with all the different camera shots. I think that the locations if I was to have a raining scene in my music video I would have to wait for it to rain and that may not have happened so I might need a back up location.
What did your audience identify as the strengths of your music video idea?
The audience thought that I kinda had a clear idea of what I wanted in my music video from the presentation they thought that the main strengths in my music video were the locations and how i was gonna use the locations for my music video. They also thought that with the star persona was good because most rapping music videos have the clothes i picked for my music video such as jeans and hoodies I think that they thought that the clothes I chose were one of my strengths. The audience liked my idea because it was simple and basic and they knew that the reason I chose the song was because it was gonna be easy to make the music video on. The audience liked my theory because of the locations they would have been very effective because the song is about him moving forward and said to have him walking down the street rapping into the camera so that it gives the music video an effect.
What did your audience identify as areas for improvement?
The audience said that I could improve on my ideas and maybe have a bit more knowledge of the conventions and how they might be used in my music video. They didn't think that how I explained my ideas were that clear so they might not have understood it. I know that the audience gave me some ideas like how i will use cutting to the beat and they gave me some ideas on how to use it better then how I said I would use it.The audience thought that the practical side to my idea wasn't that positive because it showed that I only knew a brief idea of my music video and when I was explaining it the audience didn't fully understand the idea of the visual idea of my music video.
What changes will you make to your music video concept based on the feedback you received?
I think now I will be able to use my conventions a lot better with the questions and ideas I got from the audience it will help me make my music video idea better because now I know how to use the conventions and locations better it will help me now I no with all the ideas i have got it will be easy for me to come up with better and to help me expand my ideas to make a better video.

Analysing my song
Lyrics
some times i wonder if im going mad,
sittin in my pad,
thinkin we would never ever last,
i beat myself up so much that people called me everlast,
and people say im a quitter,
a spitter thats got teathered hands,
pay a grand to a man to go to neverland,
a place that is perfect a place that i would be forever tanned,
sittin on the sand holdin hands thats a better plan,
go to neverland, take the journey, come back im a better man,
an now i can just settle down,
i always used to let her down,
but now ive changed my ways,
i can safely say,
mate, im proud that im better now,
this is real life,
i just realised,
i had my head up my arse i didnt feel right,
i stopped rap for a year, i guess i feared mics,
i guess my vision was cloudy, thats sound g,
but now ive grown up i finally see, with a clear sight,
but now im hear right, people recognise,
im a faithful individual, semper fi,
an i would jump into the bullet so you'd never die,
i guess i made mistakes but im just human,
and if i new the outcome, i probably would of never lied,
i wont be satisfied, because i realise,
and now i realise the truth, true love never dies,
and thats why i like to stay forever high,
cut out the drink and now she just knows im a better guy.
32 bars thats way far from a letter, right?
but now i feel better cos ive got the power to just set it right.
feel like im being set alight,
my body burst into flames,
reborn a better guy,
im feelin so alive,
man im feelin so electrified,
no longer the guy thats sittin on his own petrified,
recognise i ride till i die i rap till im rectified.
Section 1
Target audience for this song is 16 to 20 i think because of the words this artist uses this is for people who like rap because it shows him rhyming and speaking fast. he controls his voice to make it sync with the beat of the song.
Section 2
The lyrics explain the guys life which shows he feels to share his emotions with the audience as he raps through the song this artist has many different styles but in this case he chose to take it slow because its about his life. some people maybe able to relate to the lyrics when they listen and read them. The lyrics he used tend to rhyme which also falls into the category of rapping.
Section 3
This song has a nice flow to it and the beat makes you feel how the artist feels while he is rapping i would say the music is for people that have been through what the artist has been through which is why the lyrics explain a lot of the song as well. I think it can connect with you and make you think.
Section 4
The tempo of this song is very slow which is good because it stays the same through out the song because its meant to show the same emotion towards the audience I think that if the tempo was fast for this song it would have ruined it a lot.
Section 5
I would have the emotion to be set sad because the lyrics do explain that the artist is meant to be depressed I would have the setting/location in a bedroom because in the lyrics they say that hes in his room thinking. and him walking around like his thinking and sharing what he feels. I think the colour scheme I would have is dark blue and white to symbolizes sadness through out the song. I will have it starting with him fading in and then out to make an effect for the audience to be interested of how the rest of the music video will finish. I would have background noises of it raining to make it seam real of how the artist is felling.
