In class today we pitched out initial ideas and music choice to each other in order to understand how another audience will view and read our music genre. It was very useful in seeing how people view music and what they believe a song should look like through the music and lyrics.
As mentioned before my song of choice is Kate Boy's - "Northern Lights" and the class listened and gathered their thoughts on what they think it should look like. Many people said similar things to what I was thinking which was a great sign as it shows I know my audience well and will attract the right type of people through my choices. Someone mentioned an artist named Charli XCX which is someone I have influence from and want to use as image inspiration. Another few people said it sounded as if it would be very 'cat walk' and 'fashion' based as it reminded them of another artist, Lady Gaga who is always bringing new trends and fashion influenced music videos to the scene. This pleased me a lot as it was very similar to my original pitch and ideas (click here to see full prezi from previous post)
It's definitely in my interest that I want to follow the abstract and performance based approach over the narrative as it displays my genre more clear whereas a rock or typical pop based video would follow a linear narrative.

I think both mine and the classes idea of what should be in my video and what an audience would expect are pretty similar and I'm pleased it's not a lot for me to change in order to pin point my target audience even more.
