Week five blog reflection

Week five

This week i created a pitch for my idea which i had to present to my class this then allowed them to participate in my focus group for them to give me feedback on my work and pitch and allowed me to ask them some questions. I felt like the focus group could have given me more information however the information i got still helped me develop my idea. However i did receive feedback which helped me develop my idea and breakdown my choices of what i wanted to do. My pitch meant that i had to be clear with my idea and know what i want to create and how and where i was going to do that. I felt like my pitch idea was rushed in terms of my idea as i felt i had to present the pitch meaning i didn't put much thought into my idea meaning i couldn't get correct feedback but the pitch and focus group mean't i had a base to develop and start my idea. 

This weeks main decision was deciding my final idea and putting it into to text to present to people to receive my first piece of feedback, this decision meant my idea went up against Ella's to decide which song/ artist we use in the final video we create together.  Deciding which one to use was a hard task in it self as we both wanted to use each others however we decided to use mine because we liked the song more and felt that we could create a music video which we both liked  in terms of creative and visual styles. 

This week we have been focusing on representation by looking at the male gaze theory and voyeurism which were two theory for me, this meant i could apply it to my work and making my work more valid. 

This week we also created our mood board and our job roles which allowed us to break down each task and share out the responsibilities, the mood board allowed us to draw inspiration on my idea and make it clear what kind of video we wanted. We also started our online surveys in class which we had to finish for homework and get people to answer them using Facebook.
