MiniVid: Group Planning/Concept

After everyone had pitched their ideas, we split up into 2 groups. In our group there is Tilly, Ben, Curtis, Dom and myself. As a group, we firstly narrowed our choices down to 'Jolly Roger - Adam and The Ants' and 'U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer', pitched by Tilly and Curtis. After consideration, we have eventually decided to go with Tilly's idea for Jolly Roger as our final video.

Tilly's idea consisted of a pirate theme, to link the narrative to the lyrics. To enforce this theme, we have decided we will need pirate costumes/attire to signify the theme clearly. It would be best for us to wear full costumes when on screen, but due to cost, we think it may be easier to buy small props such as eye patches, hooks, hoop earrings and a bandanna, which will signify the theme just as well.

The time scale we have been given is also quite small, which means we will not have much time to travel far to locations. We have asked a teacher from the P.E department for use of the swimming pool in school, and they said that we could use it with supervision, so this is one location sorted. As our second location, we think it would be ideal to use a vacant classroom or the gymnasium, if it is not in use, as it has ropes, which will connote the pirate theme as well. We plan to film the entire video on Monday the 24th of June during corresponding free periods, to make it easy and quicker for the whole group.
