Steal-O-Matic

A steal-o-matic is a visual, moving image 'pitch' of our music video idea, and includes reference points and inspirations.

For our steal-o-matic, we gathered together our inspirations discussed in production meetings, as well as finding reference points for the eras that we had decided - Ancient Greek, Viking, Victorian, 50s and 80s. We edited these together in a loose order for what we plan to do for our actual music video, and we added text to explain what the clips were meant to be representing. We then got feedback on the steal-o-matic;

• Firstly, we decided that we may use a microphone similar to that in the second clip, as one is available to us.
• We also listened to the feedback in terms of our idea being too complicated due to jumping too far between eras - this would confuse audiences as the video would jump between historical and pop culture references. To remedy this, we decided to change the eras to 50s, 70s, 80s and 90s instead for many reasons; the costumes would be easier to source and the eras are more recognisable to our target audience, for example.
• We also came to the conclusion that we had to screen test Brandon and an external actor (Jacob) to decide the lead role.
