research into other rap music videos

change of plan 

due to certain circumstances we have had to change one of the actors for our music video, this is because we had problems with our original actor for the role of T.K Jordan. Ahmed was the first choice for the role but as he was not committed to the role we have had to improvise and find a new actor to fill in the boots of T.K Jordan. 

to find a new actor me and Jaiden held a small audition between ourselves for the role as we could not find anyone that fit  the criteria for our ideal actor. In the end we decided that me (T'sharwn Fisayo) would be the new singer for the music video. Above is my audition for the role and why i was picked to be T.K Jordan.    

these are additional story board pic that show the other scene that we have drawn up and how we expect the shots to look like 

this is an image of our final story board for our music video, this shot list is a combination of all the things that me and Jaiden have talked about to do with filming, we have now put together shot of what we what the music video to be like. when making these shot we noticed that some of them will require a lot more time than other s, what is meant by this is that some shot we have in mind such as the establishing shot and any of the shots that we want to film on top of roof tops will need to dealt with later on, this is because they are harder shots to get done accurately and we done what to have to keep on going back to the same location over and over again to make sure we have the perfect shots. 

this is one of the ways we came up with the ideas of what shots we would have on our final shot list. the lyrics where used to establish where we wanted certain shots and if they would fit in with what the lyrics where saying. We weren't too concerned with the visual we wanted to directly match the lyrics completely, we also found out what kind of lighting we wanted, what times of the day we wanted to film and if that time of day is appropriate, For example due to the time of year it gets darker quicker so we wouldn't want to film at 3-4 in the afternoon when it starts getting dark as it would ruin the visuals of the video. having the video cut between light and dark scenes throughout the music video would show there is no structure to our video and was badly filmed.

 Artist image exercise

 

me and Jaiden done an exercise where we used these photos to create an example of what we want our artists to look like, this is an example of the one who will be singing. we experimented with visual effects that we would want to use when we are going to create our digi packs to see what its like to use specific effects. 

this is the other photo that we created using other effects, this is an example of who we want our main artist to be, the effects we used are much darker because this artist will have a much more serious tone to him. 

Possible locations for a music video

these locations are the ones which we have picked as the most likely places that we will be filming in for our music video,we have chosen these locations as they have the most connection to the genre of music that we are doing which is rap. 

 

Leake street in south bank 

this location was chosen because it has a lot of urban representation to it and is fits in with generic convention  of a rap music video. the idea is the audience will see this and automatically establish what kind of music they are watching.

 

 Peace pagoda London 

at certain points the song has bit where it refers to the lifestyle the artist lives and the environment that he comes up in 

 

 legendary London skate park

this is another urban looking environment that conforms to generic conventions in our music video 

One new change Roof terrace 

this location is used as like a big stage for our artist,  we use this as a way of showing that the artist has made it in life and is now at the top.
