2. Question 1: do you think our idea links to the
genre we have chosen (folk)?
• Yes, due to theme of loss
• The idea of flashbacks being in black and white are redundant in
music videos of this genre
• The idea of having more narrative than performance is also typical
to this genre e.g. Ben Howard and James Blunt
3. Question 2: How suitable is our target audience
(mainly age wise)?
• Somebody pointed out that the genre of music, due to not being
particularly mainstream, would probably be more popular with
people within the demographic of late twenties to early thirties
• We felt that they would be interested in classic films, books and
things like photography, and this was received as the correct kind
of target audience for our genre, due to it not being mainstream
• Due to our storyline being about the loss of a daughter instead of a
partner, it was implied that our demographic would be more
appropriate
4. Question 3: do you have anymore ideas of how
to represent the loss of somebody through the
video?
• People generally agreed with the idea of having flashbacks in black
and white to represent happy memories of people
• The idea of having a shot of the backs of two people at the end so
that a child was visually obvious was also suggested
• The idea of two people holding hands, and having one of the hands
slip away was pointed out
5. Question 4: can you think of anymore local
locations we could use?
• Clee Hill was suggested, due to the fact that sensory elements such
as bark and leaves are going to be involved
• Clee Hill would also be useful due to animals, which could tie into
the link of a father and daughter (feeding animals) and also help to
instate the natural theme of the video
6. Question 5: what percentage of
performance/narrative should there be?
• More narrative than performance was suggested, as this is usually
typical in folk music videos such as Taylor Swift and Jake Bugg
• Somebody suggested that we have 50/50 narrative and
performance, which is also quite common in music videos of the
folk genre, as the narrative and performance is quite often
synced, as in the video for 1973 by James Blunt
