Pitch Feedback

From the feedback I have recieved it seems changing my initial idea of an instrumental track is the best route for my music video and will make it overall an easier product to film and edit together.

Pitch

Introduction Question

1. A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following options:

A Poster for the band

A cover for its release as part of a digipak (CD/DVD Package)

a magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD Package)

I have chosen this task as I feel because I enjoy filming and music it would be a task I could really sink my teeth in to.
Another reason for choosing this is that I am currently recording my own album/EP, so it would provide me with skills to help make videos for my own songs effectively and professionally.
