Chatting With Our Teacher

For some extra feedback from our teacher I went for an extra chat with him. He expanded on the notes that Rosie gave our group and his own opinions on past our ideas.

• London as a setting for the video is not ideal but not unrealistic. The problems include the facts that we would only be able to shoot in London for the day which would limit us dramatically in own narrative strand ideas as well as amount shot by our group on the day as the travelling takes up a fair amount of time. Therefore the studio would be more beneficial to film in. 
• Our idea of filming different eras in the studio would also be quite hard to achieve due to the fact that the studio is simply not big enough to house 4 separate sets with the camera revolving around in the centre of the studio. Also the four different stages displaying different eras of music with bands playing in the background of the sets would not work as the only song that would be playing is 'Morning Blues' from the present era.
•  The video also needs to be low budget because it is her first therefore it can't be too extravagant, allowing her to enhance detail and budget of her music videos in her career. 
• A suggestion with the car idea would be to position Rosie inside the car instead of outside, in order to avoid the problem of the unattainable amount of cars in a traffic jam, a green screen can be assembled behind the one car Rosie is in, recalling the Michael Douglas film 'Falling Down'. 

• Instead of a traffic jam, being a boring concept of daily life, I attempted to mind map other ideas which are equally boring and happen often. The idea of waiting for the phone seemed suitable but no one really waits for their home phone to call anymore due to the constant instant messaging on new technology of today therefore the dated image of 50s or 60s could be introduced to the video again and could either depict a house wife waiting for the phone to call at home or perhaps a woman at her local switchboard job answering phones repeatedly. Therefore this recalled the music video of Beyonce's called 'Why Don't You Love Me?' conforming to a 50s house wife style but slightly more sexy than the true, being the image we would try to create.
