shot list and description of shots going to be used in filming session 


this is the overall shot list that was put together in order to decide what shots and angles that we will use  during our filming session. for some of these shots we have gone over then and changed what them as we did not like the idea of having some of them when we filmed however most of the shots present on the sheet are the shots that we will use.

Filming problems


This is a video of some of the footage that we have gathered so far that we filmed to make our music video. From looking at all footage it is clear to see that most of it is not up to a good standard. There are many factors that make the footage the way it is, firstly one problem would be the fact that most of the shots that have been taken are shaky and not steady, this makes the shots look out of frame and poorly filmed. To rectify this the best option would be to re-do the shots however this time we film the scene on flat ground so that the camera is steady and not shaking.

Another problem is the framing. In some shots we have not taken into account the fact that we cannot see the artist or the artist head or shoulder is cut off from the camera. This makes it extremely difficult to film a good scene when the artist facial expression cannot be scene or they cannot be seen altogether. To stop this from happening the best choice would be to zoom in/out function to get every part of the artist in the shot. Also the spacing out, if we are too close or need change the camera angle so that we are not cutting out any part of the artist that is required for that shot.  

Another big issues has to be the lighting and overall darkness that covers most of our shots, this is mainly because we filmed the shots when it was dark. From doing this we now see it would be best if we filmed earlier in the day and use the natural light.

The shots taken don’t seem to absolutely, when going over some of it there was blurriness and it was hard to make out what was happening in that piece of footage. To rectify this we should make sure that the focus on the camera so that the artist can be seen and also the surroundings.


By doing this we hope to see a improvement to the standard of filming that we do as a group so that we achieve the best possible grade.

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.
