We took a quick test shoot of the three confirmed members of the band to see if they look the part! We believe they do!

Changes to our Treatment After Final Teacher Meeting
- No more girl in band- as this allows Philippa to focus more on the filming on the day and also gives us the generic indie band look.
-During the chorus we will have the evil characters (who are band members) finding instruments around the room and picking them up and crazily rocking out with them.
-We believe the band should push through the fact that they are not fully focused and respected for their music, but are just more about having a good time and doing fun things with their image. Examples of bands like this are Bowling for Soup and All Time Low, however our bands music will still be indie with a serious edge.
-Through our video we will not see the band image, but through the marketing we will have to put across that the band, ultimately are all about having fun, for instance by doing silly poses and dressing up in photoshoots.

This is an example of the fun quirky image we will try to portray | <>

| But the bands music will still be identifyable to the indie genre, much like the Arctic Monkeys type of music. |
Feedback to Our Pitch
Feedback from Peers
We recieved much positive feedback from our classmates. We were asked however to be more clear with our narritive idea. However, we believe as our video is concept based a clear narrative is not entirely necassary yet would add another element of story to the video.
As well as feedback we were also othered an alternate ending which was very helpful as at first we had struggled with how to end the video.
Feedback from Teachers
The overall concept of our video was approved and we recieved lots of feedback comending the imaginative ideas we intend to feature within our video. However, there were concerns that the only female muscisian would not feature within the video as she would be dressed as one of the villains, more specifically 'Darth Vader', this was an issue as the actress would have to wear the iconic mask and a large outfit; this would obscure her gender leading people to assume the person in the suit is male.
This becomes an issue as traditionally it would be considered sexist or perhaps detremental to the bands success in a male audience if the female muscisian were hidden.

Band Name
We decided upon the name Small Town America as we believed it was a catchy, memorable name that would tie in with the 'american' look and style of our band.
Here is a prototype banner for the bands name. Sporting the red, white and blue and american font I feel it ties in nicely with our concept.
