Shelley and I conducted a small focus group in which we got people to review the song we had chosen and what they thought about it and what they could suggest in regards to the content of a music video.
we received a lot of positive feedback, with people commenting on both the comfortable pace of the song, confirming it as a good choice, as well as the quality of Charlotte's voice, a real confidence booster for her and she was very grateful for all the compliments.
'It's a little bit boring' Matthew Perkins
'It is really cute' Sarah Warnock
this point of view was shared by quite a few members of the feedback group.
'very emotional' Hannah Sharples
'The Song seems very nostalgic' Connor Murray
this though was shared by the majority of the focus group which was incredibly positive as it means the inspiration behind the song is being portrayed well. In response to this we asked in what way they would expect this to be represented.
'lonely images, like just a person alone.' Elise Maughan
'Rain clouds and gloomy weather' Connor Murray
'Emptiness' Georgia Wigley
we then asked the group to expand on this and suggest story lines for the music video if they think it should have a story line.
'Maybe you could have the story of a break up' Luke Battle
'You should follow the social exclusion of a person' Connor Murray
'i don' think it really needs a story line, just a collection of emotional imagery and lip syncing' Harley Mason
this was a view that both me and Shelley both shared, it seemed unnecessary to attempt to create a storyline that wasn't the obvious depressive relationship based event, instead keeping the video simple will give the lyrics of the piece a chance to be taken in and felt and expressed through visual stimuli.
