Planning

Initial ideas for your music track, what does the track suggest? Is it happy? Sad?

This track is very fast paced, with a range of different instruments used which gives it a good effect. This song has no specific mood; it is a fast paced rap.

Note down any images that appear as you listen.  These could relate to the lyrics, the beat/tempo, the mood of the track

The song has a good fast tempo with a range of loud beats.

Note down any shifts in the track – tempo, narrative, mood – think about how you would highlight this in your video

In the video we will have the artist miming to the song in gangster fashion. The overall mood to the song is more hip/hop or grime, where the audience are left listening to the lyrics alongside watching the video. There is not much of a shift in the track, it stays at the same mood and tempo more or less, and however in the short breaks between we will have a range of different shots in different locations. After doing the research we saw, there is much importance on the artist in the videos where the artist acts very ignorant, miming to the song in gangster style. This is why we will follow this, and make sure there are many different shots so the audience don’t get bored whilst watching the video.

Identify points in the track where you can have a start, middle, and end (is there a slow build up for start? Instrumental intro? Verse chorus structure?) and mark these on a timeline on the storyboard

Our video will start slowly; with quick shots of all the different locations we have taken the footage. We chose this starting for our video to introduce all the settings, so the audience get a feel for the video beforehand. This also helps create importance on the track and artist, as the audience are waiting to see the main character, and want to hear the track. Then the track will go from slow to fast this helps speed up the action in the video.  In the middle of the track we a have a range of shots, with the artist miming to the song in different locations. Many different camera angles have been used with a good variety of locations. We will also have a few shots of road signs, or a man lifting weights with tattoos, to give the audience a little rest from just seeing the artist miming to the song.
