Where to Now?

Following pitching my idea to the class I have now been thrown into a dilemma.
The visuals I proposed and my idea of intertwining script and lyrics seemed to cause the most interest and would really help with transitions. My pitfall appeared to be linking the songs of Pulp together to make a story compelling enough for this module. Furthermore, the aspects I included from Pulp Fiction seemed to come across as redundant and distracting. I believe if given copious amounts of time, my idea would work and the desired charm of the piece could be pulled off but at this stage in the module I think I need to reassess.

As music has always been something I wanted to include in my final performance I think I will have to figure out a different way of including it. One approach is to strip things back to just writing a story and then applying songs that will fit the themes and direction of it whilst it is written. The story needs to be as compelling and charming as the use of songs. Another way might be to take the story of one song and find a way of extending it to last 10 minutes. I could potentially interject verses from a single song into the story similar to what I had planned for the several Pulp songs. It would then have a stronger flow as it would be from the same song. In addition to this I could change the style of music to reflect the emotional state of the story throughout.

My options are still open, and there is still time.
