Pitch Reflection
- I would like to give more detail on what i want my idea to actually be like, at the start of my music video i want them to be in a park where the women is sitting on the bench reading a book and than the male actor walks past and they see each other, this is where the love at first sight comes in because i want to show to the camera the instant connection between each others faces, than as they introduce each other you will see their love for each other progress, this will be shown by them going on a date to a restaurant, than once their date is finished they head on home where they continue to think of each other, i will show this by having a split screen where you can see them texting each other and getting their reactions, this is why close ups are important in my video as i want to show the emotion flowing through the song, when we reach the end of the song you will see them sitting on the same bench they had met at just to make a romantic and happy ending to the song.
- As a Strength they liked the idea where i mentioned that you'll be able to see both my actors at the same time on the screen in different locations, the split screen, this allows me to show both their reactions to each other from different locations such as when they are texting you can see if they are smiling, giggling or any other emotion that they show, this makes my song more realistic because you don't just see the text being sent and seeing no reaction to it, you can seeing them both texting each other meaning you can see what each person is doing, this would be a use of edit that i will have to use on final cut express which i will learn and find out how to actually do this which will have both people on the screen just in different locations making it more exciting and interesting.
- For my improvements i would need to use more locations because at the moment the only two locations i have is local parks and houses to record in, so if i want to make my music video more interesting i would need to expand more on thinking of locations to film in, because if i only recorded in two places the video would get quite boring, i was thinking of shooting at a restaurant but that would need permission so if i can't get permission than i would definitely need somewhere else to record as i want my music video to be interesting and having time to record i am able to do this and find different locations for my recording.
- If there were any changes i needed to make i would change the locations of where i would record because if i want my music video to look more appealing than i would need to record in more places to make it more interesting as if i were recording in one place the whole time it would get boring very quickly seeing the same shots over and over this i can do because i have plenty of recording time to shoot in other places so its very do-able and as i am keeping most shots local and maybe some shots not so local, recording should be easy to get done as long as we focus on the work and get it done than we should have no problems in getting it done.

Production Log Week 1
During this week we had to get into partners for the music video that we will creating, and because we had two different songs we had to choose which song we would use, at the end we decided to go with mine because we thought that i had good ideas for my music video and the song sounded quite easy to make a video to, the partner i am working with is someone i have known since nursery so i know quite a lot about them as in how committed they are to their work and because of this we decided to work together, we had both done media in the past and had worked in the same groups before so we were coming up with some very good ideas for the music video we will be creating. Also during the start of the week we was watching others give their presentations about their songs and i had kept in mind to choose the person that i think i could work appropriately with and could understand, it ended up that both are songs were about romance so because of this we were able to take ideas from his presentation and put it into mine which was very handy as we are combining are ideas to make a better one, as i said that my partner has done media before they know all about the recording side so he fits perfectly into my crew as he knows how to operate a camera so if i need him to do that than i can trust him on it which is very helpful and gives me an advantage as if i didn't pick someone who has no experience with cameras.
The video below shows why and how we will work together in producing the music video and how well we will work together.

Ace and Pearl is a duo consisting of Singer Songwriter Erin Elisabeth Aubrey and Hip Hop artist Customary. The two smoothly blend the styles of hip hop, jazz, and soul together to create an easy listening hip hop/r&b album. The two artists met on the east coast and continued writing music together as they went separate ways, as Erin left for Nashville, and Customary left for Boise. The entire album came together in one week as the two artists crammed all of the writing and recording into a small amount of time that they had together in Tennessee. You will not be disappointed in the spontaneous and serendipitous album by Ace and Pearl.
Locations- As the song is about romance and love i would be thinking of using something cheesy such as parks, i would probably use parks local such as St chads, Christie park Valentines park.
Clothing - I would have my main male actor wearing something smart like jeans and a polo or a shirt, but i wouldn't have them wearing dark colours as i want them to stand out and use purer colours, i would have my female actor wear something like a sun dress or something to make her stand out from everyone else.

Typography - i would use this typography because it has that romance feel to it doesn't feel serious which is perfect because its more of a relaxing feel to it.
Mise-En-Scene - I would have my artist start off in the park as a cheesy music video where they have most of the shots walking around together holding hands and etc than use a house where they can stay together in a room playing around together in romance way and the song would end with them sitting on a bench together.
Colours - I would use bright colours such as a sky blue or white but no dark colours because the song is about love and you don't really associate love with dark colours, you can associate it with red as the heart is red.
What the song puts in you head - As all love songs they put does cheesy ideas in your head such as the typical bear with a heart, box of chocolates and stuff like that.
