Pitch - Initial ideas.

To make the music, I am working with Carmel, as we feel we worked well together in AS. We have decided between us roughly how we're going to distribute the roles, and we decided that I shall be in charge of the costume, filming and directing, while Carmel is also in charge of filming and directing. 
We're going to make a music video to Bastille - Laura Palmer. This song lasts for 3 minutes 4 seconds, and is of the Genre Indie-Pop.
It's argued that this song/music video, will appeal to older teens and obviously people who like Indie Pop the most, and for audiences who are escaping from reality; Goodwin's conventions - diversion from reality and life issues.
We're pondering the idea of editing the footage so it's black and white, however we also want to try and film in dusk/dark lighting outside, which will require a lot of practice to get the lighting right, so it isn't grainy. Furthermore, if we film in the dark, we will keep the colour and not edit it in black and white. We feel wearing dark, plain clothes and dark makeup will suit the genre and help with the narrative.
In order to get the quality, we feel using a DSLR would be the most appropriate to avoid a grainy effect, and using lights to get the correct back lighting. We will use a tripod for specific, steady shots, however we feel that some hand held shots would be appropriate to get across the overall effect and emphasize the narrative. 
Throughout the video, we're going to use longer shots, potentially using multiple extreme close ups to emphasize emotions, however we're also going to use fast paced editing throughout the chorus. 
Taken from Goodwin's convention's, we feel that we're going to try and create a narrative where the visuals match the lyrics, or at least fit the narrative of the song. 
The music video will fit the whole CD package, as for the website and the CD cover, we're going to try and stay with the dark theme, and possibly black and white, so everything fits with the genre and song. 
Finally, we feel that ideally we'll need about 6-8 weeks to produce and edit this music video, 2-3 weeks of this will be used for filming, and the remaining weeks will be used for editing and the rest of the package.
