Our pitch

Here is the pitch to our music video for the song "Summer of 69"

This is the feedback we got after presenting the pitch:

Try to avoid the orginal video

One problem was our actor can't play the guitar, but having him play was planned to be a key point of one of the scenes. An idea to get around this is to have the chords of the guitar out of shot and only see the actor strumming the guitar, that way you still have the image were after and playing the guitar still looks realistic.

We were also advised to take inspiration from our chosen genre rather than our chosen artist

Another problem with one of our key ideas is that the video has a non linear narrative, jumping between the present and flashback. Our first idea for this was to find older actors that look like the actors used in the flashback scenes. However finding suitable actors may a problem so an alternative to this is to shoot the present day scene in slightly darker than the flashback scenes to show how life has moved on and perhaps become duller for the protagonist.
