Now we've been introduced to the start of out live project and that we'll be working with clients, we will be briefed by those clients on what the want specifically from us and the project for their video. Due to one of the clients having a deadline coming up soon we were briefed by Diane on this subject so we could pitch to them next week unlike the other two clients which will be pitching the week after. The client we'll be pitching for on Monday is connected to the Johnston Press and needs a video showing the North East in a positive light and featuring all that makes it great. The brief was to make it a high end short film that is the length of a song, that is advertising the North East, which is anywhere from Hartlepool to Berwick-upon-Tweed. The deadline for this is the 10th March so we will be starting this project before the others.
From the brief I interpreted it as the client wanted to see as much of the North East as possible as they named the boundaries and that everywhere in-between qualifies as the North East for the video. This is a giant space to cover and trying to film all over these towns and cities is going to be almost impossible so I'm going to research on all the important and iconic places and locations that will show the positives to the North East. My idea for this pitch is to show 'A day in the life of the North East' I want to start the video at sunrise showing various people in various places waking up to their town or city and getting ready for the day and then move on to all the different attractions and all the accomplishments people are working to achieve at the North East by showing maybe jobs that are only known or able to be done in the North East or people working to make the North East better like local politicians and volunteers. It would then end with people finishing from a hard days work and closing up shops and returning home and the sun setting over all the different iconic attractions and statues in the North East.
Due to the North East been such a huge place there is no shortage of things to film so my main worry is keeping the video to a songs length and been able to time the travelling for the locations and able to get certain shots like the sunsets and sunrises.
