The Pitch - Superman By Behind Bad Luck

The Pitch is the ideal way for a group of people to give another group of people an idea that they are thinking of and to see if the idea will sell. This is typically seen on shows such as The Apprentice where there are these young people trying to create their own product and trying to convince the heads to take on their product. In my Prezi slideshow, I am trying to show how we got the stage that we are now where we know what we want to create for the music video. The original idea came from a band that i had found on unsigned.com called Behind Bad Luck. They are a ska band which have unfortunately broken up for years now but have allows other people to use their music. But just to make sure that I was allowed to use their music, I had to write a post on their old Facebook wall; in which they replied saying that it was alright. I then had to explain why i picked this specific genre and what it was actually about.
 Ska music was created in Jamaica in the 1950's and has the combined element of Caribbean calypso, American jazz and rhythm and blues. But the music that i have picked isn't just categorised as Ska, it is also part Punk Rock. Originally Punk Rock came from America between 1974-1976 and has created some iconic bands such as The Sex Pistols and The Ramones.
 A very similar band to the one that I am using the music of is called Streetlight Manifesto. The only difference between this band and the one that i am using the music off of is the fact that Streetlight Manifesto are a signed band and if i was to use their music i may not have the correct copyrights to use their songs which may cause problems. But also the problem with asking permission from signed bands is that the odds of them responding to an email from someone they don't know is really unlikely.
Our video idea is basically where a band approach someone in a park who is watching Man Of Steel and ask him if he wants to make a video with them. He then goes into a daydreaming state and the music video will then begin. It will be the band members and the other boy travelling around London playing their instruments in random locations. Coming to the end of the music video, the boy will then come back and then reality will set in. Also seeing as the song is called Superman, we thought that we wouldn't do the simple thing and just have someone in a Superman costume but that it would be someone who makes their own kind of super outfit like the video Kryptonite by Three Doors Down. The costumes that we will need for the music video will be simple because all of the normal band members will just be wearing normal white shirts with black and white ska ties which can be seen in the Prezi above.
