Firstly, sorry for the slight delay in doing this! I had planned on doing it yesterday, but then I had some crazy food poisoning type illness so when I got back from the Economics conference I just went to sleep... Anyway...
I was quite pleased that on the whole, people liked our comic book/superhero themed idea. I'm also glad that people brought up some ideas and thoughts that we may not have otherwise thought of.
The points raised about having a black indie artist were very interesting I thought, especially as I'd not really thought about that aspect of things before.
In some ways, I think it could be really interesting and different to have a black indie singer. It plays on the conventions and could be something to make our music video a bit different. However, if we were to do this, other issues could be raised. For example, which actress would play Supergirl... originally, we had proposed to have either a black or asian girl play Supergirl. But I now realise that this wouldn't make sense if we are targeting a predominantly white audience. I feel that essentially, the best way would be to have some sort of equality with the casting of the actors. But if we were to have a white hero helping out a black victim, there would be political correctness implications for that too. In which case, I think it would make the most sense to have Jennifer playing Supergirl (since that character really suits her personality) and Jazmin playing Ava.
Tomorrow we're having a group meeting. There we intend to discuss actors, style, location etc. I'm hoping it'll be a success! :D
