Bipolar pitch
Are there any areas of the presentation that you would like to give any more detail on ?
If I was to give more detail on any part of my presentation I would choose to give more detail on my planning schedule, my idea, my equipment and my creative concept. I would give more detail on my planning schedule because I could of spoke more about what days I was filming, which location I was going to filming and what date it would be on because I didn't mention it in the presentation but the dates I was going to film. for example if I was to say more about my locations I was going to film on I would of said that the first location that I would start filming is the streets of Brims down road. I would of also said that I would start filming on the 15th of February till the end the deadline on the 20th of February.
Another area of my present that I would add more detail on the equipment because even if I didn't have to say it in the presentation I would of said the reasons why I would use my equipment for example the reason why I would use a camera is because without the camera I can't film. Another thing that I would of added in the presentation is a camera charger because if my camera man was to be filming me in a location (for example on Brimsdown road) and the camera ran out of battery then I wouldn't be able to film anything because I wouldn't have the charger with me. The last thing I would give more detail on is the creative concept because if I was to change anything I would changed amplifying to interpretative because if I was to film a location for (example the doctor Escrobar scene) it would be matching the mood of the song because if I was to use amplifying it would match because the lyrics would be matching some of the actions in the video.
What did your audience identify as the strengths of your music video idea ?
The strengths that the audience gave me was the questions on my locations from my idea of the music video because I knew what I was going to use in my locations and what locations I was going to use in my music video. For example when someone asked me how my music video going to end it gave my a idea because after seeing the music video 'Stan' by Eminem I thought after Dr Escrobar comes back from somewhere he can find that Kaleb has hung himself.
Another strength that the audience gave me would of been when one of then asked me how I came up with my idea was and how it was going to start briefly. I knew what type of idea I was going to use in the beginning of video and how it was going to plan out it starts. For example when Klhio is lip-syncing the first verse he's sadly walking down the streets of Brimsdown road. This proves Goodwin's theory on what a contradicting video is. For example if he was to actually see double while the lyrics are saying 'and now I'm seeing double' it would an interpretive video.The last advantage that the audience gave me as a strength would of have to of been the part when one of the members of the audience asked why the artist was to wear white contact lenses. I saw this as a strength because it was part of my idea of the story for when Klhio turns into the monster later in the story
What did your audience identify as the areas for improvement ?
The areas of my Q and A that I would improve on is that I would think over more my answers more because when some of the members of the audience asked me some of the questions I didn't know how to answer some of them because they were to answer. For example when they asked me about the character's eye color and the his costume I couldn't deliver my answer to the question because I thought it would of made more sense if only his eye color changed instead of his clothing. This could be not just an area of my idea that I could work on and think over but also something that could be used for an improvement. Another area I thought that could use improvement was when one of the members of the audience asked me what going to appeal more to a boy than a girl because I couldn't answer it in proper detail. I thought that would of needed an improvement because the way I see it after hearing the lyrics and due to song being about bipolar I thought it would more targeted towards male than female. Plus I don't see a problem why a female audience can't listen to a song targeted towards males. The final thing that I would add more improvement would be the type of styles of lip-syncing because I didn't know I was supposed to imitate a famous artist that lip syncs (for example 50 cent).
What would you change if you were to make this again ?
If I was to make this music video again then I wouldn't change a thing because I like my idea exactly the way it is. Another reason why I didn't want to change anything is because when I was planing it I thought it would perfect for the music video because some of the lyrics match with some of the scenes of the different locations I'm going to have in the music video for example when Kaleb goes to see Dr Escrobar in the song 'Bipolar' it goes with the hospital scene that I am going to use in the music video where the scene shows Dr Escrobar talking to Kaleb in the perspective of lip-syncing the lyrics of the song. This would of been an Interpretive scene of the video because it would of been matching the actions of it which would of been proving Goodwin's theory on what a contradicting video is. The only thing I would change is the part where Dr Escrobar says 'I'm trapped in psychological prison' because when I heard it in the song 'Bipolar' I didn't know what location to use for the video when heard it. However if I was to use a location I would of use a green screen of a prison bar type of background while lip-syncing the third verse in the music video.
Rationale
This week we made a video Rationale on what idea we chose and what we were planning to use in our idea. In class me, Darren, Yanick and I got together in a group to decide who's idea we were going to pick and what music video we were going to make. On Wednesday I sat with Yanick and Darren to decide who's music video we were going to pick. After deciding for 20 minutes we decided to go with Darren's idea for the music video. I contributed by adding ideas on what I had on my mind even if I didn't have many ideas to I add I still contributed one of my ideas that I was going to use my music video at 1:13 seconds when I said that we could have a scene where the character could go and see a psychiatrist in the video to figure out what to do. I also contributed another idea when I said that there could be a mid-shot of him standing on top of a building and then it could go to a '12 hours earlier' sequence then it could go a scene of him in his front room lying on his sofa lip-syncing the first verse of the song.
Although we didn't use the '12 minute earlier' sequence this would of fitted in with the production schedule because it would of happened at the beginning of the video. The only problem we had was when I struggled to stay focused or come up with ideas. I knew what type of story we were using in our music video it's just that sometimes my mind goes blank and I can't think anything or what we could use in the music video. Another problem was when (Yanick) one of the the members of our group got a bit distracted twice because he was sometimes going to the other group to see what idea they were doing. I never did over come them that day but if I was to overcome it I would stay involved with the group next time and I'll try to be more creative with my ideas and if one of the members from my group was to overcome this he would stay more focused and not get distracted by other people. My plans for next leasson are to finish my group shooting schedule and to go over my shooting script for the following of next week.

Ethnicity: Black
The target audience for this song is for misunderstood people who feel that they are going crazy, feeling like their hearing voices in their heads telling them what to do or if they have a dual personality and they can't control their emotions.
When I listen to the song I can see what Klhio is saying in his lyrics. For example when he saying 'so many voices at once' I can image him sitting in a corner being paranoid and looking around his bedroom wondering where the voices are coming from This shows he puts meaning through his songs. Like when he says 'taunting me and mocking me, insulting me, I'm paranoid' it means that he's getting paranoid from hearing all of these voices of people mocking and insulting him in his head.
This song tells a story about a man named Klhio who seams to be hearing voices in his head due to him being bipolar because in the song he's saying 'so many voices at once making me feel so crazy, (crazy), crazy, (crazy) sometimes I think I'm bipolar'. He goes to see the doctor who introduces himself as Dr Escobar and tells him about it.They are just about to get started when person named Kizer who is known as the monsta in the story this shows that he's telling a piece of childhood because he use to get bullied due to kids taunting and insulting him and the truth about himself because in real life he is actually bipolar.
The genre of this song is from a genre called hip-hop. An example of this is the part of the song when I start of Klhio's verse by saying 'Their out to get me coming for me like a never-ending-story how do I escape this nightmare everywhere I turn their there, hating me and mocking me, insulting me I'm paranoid they wanna break me, they all hate me, I'm trapped inside this darkness void'.
If I was to use this for my music video I would use a long-shot of me sitting in the corner of my bedroom saying the words of the per-hook of the song and a mid-shot of me saying the words of the first verse in the song. another part of the song the I would use in my music video is the second verse because while Klhio is saying the second verse I can use a mid-shot of him dressed up as Dr Escobar in a lab coat with a shot of me lying on the hospital bed saying the part of the second verse where it goes 'So many voices at once'.
The amount of time in the song is 5 minutes and the speed of the song is 8 seconds long this is good for the audience because it proves that his songs are quick and only a few minutes long but it could bad because they might find it to long. An example of this is another song called 'Hands of fate'. This another example because the time and speed of the song is 4 minutes and 27 minutes long.
There are 192 beats in the song this shows that he likes to be unique when he puts beats in his music. This is good because he is writing and making his own songs and his own beats that are always on point for example like in the song midnight. This a another good example because it has 228 beats in the song and each one of them is more on point than the last.
The part that proves Goodwins point of a visual story is the entire song all together. For example when you hear the part where Dr Escobar is talking to Khilo about him being bipolar you can actually visualize them talking in a patient's laboratory.
Another example of this is back in the first verse when he said 'trapped inside this darkness void. Whispers getting louder, all they want is power, controlling my emotions, drowning in this ocean of lies and desperation' you can visualize him trapped in a dark void, hearing loud voices then drowning in a ocean of lies and desperation.
This a good example of a visual story once you hear it you can visualize it in your head. An example of this is another part of the second verse where Kizer Says 'don't deny it this is what you are inside. Your a beast it's the monster creeping around behind your eyes, let me loose, set me free, show them your identity' it shows that image different side of Klhio and your visualize the monster telling him to set the monster free and to show the people of what he really is. This proves Goodwin's point because it shows you of what a visual story is.
