Throughout this week I explained to Simon my initial proposal for the promotional video. At first he only wanted a rough idea of what I was thinking of, but as our production meetings progressed he asked for more specific ideas such as camera shots, transitions, etc. Below is my summary of my original idea in our promotional group of 3 people. I have expanded a bit on the idea I gave to Simon over the production meetings and overall, he thinks our idea is simple but effective, and simplicity sometimes is the best way forward, with no complications and it allows me to stick to time restraints without running out of time.
- Junction branding at start, maybe a quick animated logo or a simple logo on a black screen. It would then fade out.
- Establishing shots of the Fiver event, the queue outside, the tickets being handed over, the reception area being busy etc.
- Shots of Fiver getting started, bands setting up, technicians testing sound etc.
- Shots of bands playing at the Fiver, the busy crowds, shots of instruments etc.
- Shots of all the bands playing and their response afterwards of what they thought of the Fiver personally. Perhaps 3 or 4 bands interviews as 5 would take up too much time.
Overall, general information added to these shots, perhaps a text box, or a voiceover to establish to bands who want to get involved, what they do, how they apply, what they can look forward to and what they expect from the Fiver. I personally do not want the text or the voiceover to overshadow the shots in the video, but I also do not want the footage to distract from the overall information, as the information is the core product of the video in my opinion.
