After showing our peers the track which we will be creating a music video for, then showing them our visual ideas as well as some background information on where the genre of ‘surf rock’ originated from, we received feedback:
· Firstly, a thought that a number of our peers had was that our ideas are very conventional of music videos shot on location in America, to overcome this, we must ensure continuity within our music video, and possibly use editing tools to make our video appear to be more ‘American’, such as colour correction to make our possible beach scenes more sunnier. We may also use iconic American props such as red drinks cups which are recognisable from the iconic American party from films and TV shows.
· An idea from one of our peers was to use props and items which are iconic of the initial surf-rock era, such as old fashioned cars like the Volkswagen beetle. After receiving this feedback, we contacted friends who have access to such props which we believe may enhance the plausibility of the era and theme we are going to try to portray.
· Another peer mentioned the danger involved when we talked of the idea of incorporating skateboarding and longboarding into our music video (as these are often associated with surf culture), to overcome this, we will ensure those partaking in the skateboarding and longboarding are experienced, we will also carry out a risk assessment and take the necessary precautions e.g. cars and other pedestrians. We could do this by having someone to specifically watch the surroundings for dangers.
· We also received feedback on possible locations for us to shoot at, including old-fashioned American styled diners which we made clear during our pitch we wanted to use to film at, these locations included a diner in Ashford and another in East Sussex, we will decide which one to use after going on a location reccie, and deciding which one is most suitable.
