Choice of song and why
- 1. Choice of song and why:
- 2. Ideas for costume Style: Laidback, street fashion Main ideas: Tracksuits Air maxes Ripped Jeans Hoodies BAPE brand Supreme Watches Bomber jackets Northface Jean jacket
- 3. Ideas for setting This location is near waterloo station which means its simple and easy to get there. This location is intriguing as we can imagine our song being placed here, with dancers and the rapper. Rap genre normally conveys a background which the rapper raps behind.
- 4. Ideas for setting This location is local as well, and with this location we can implement many camera angles which are portrayed in music videos e.g. low angle tilt upwards, which can make the person in the field of view to seem bigger. We can do shots from the top of mountain and bottom whilst the rapper is at top. We can implement dancing in these locations which would have the mountains and lake in background.
- 5. Ideas for setting Street: we have an idea of Filming the rap scenes in the middle of the street as we can make the characters walk towards the camera whilst rapping to create an effect of the audience being pushed back. This location can be dangerous however we will choose less busy roads and smaller roads.
- 6. Ideas for narrative The main character is checking his phone he’s on the sofa sitting replying to texts, thinking about Friday. On Fridays most teens are out partying or chilling with friends. So he gets up and leaves his house to go meet some friends, we would probably record his journey e.g. walking. Whilst he’s walking he dances or does hand gestures. He meets his friends and dances and raps. Images or alcohol, money and watches will be shown. This song is about someone being excited its Friday as it’s a day where you can stay till late and get drunk
- 7. Camera angles and movement Extreme Close ups on his phone, who he’s texting which would lead and explain where he is going. Long shot on his outfits, in house, and outside Establishing shots of the roads, Aerial shots on him behind the graffiti walls Low angle tilt upwards on him sitting on the sofa drinking. Tracking shots on him walking so his shoes and trouses are shown. Extreme close up on watches, brands Rule of thirds: he’s in the centre with friends behind him, Tracking shots on him dancing Shot of his back when he’s sitting on the hill Low angle tilt upward when he’s on the hill to show his empowerment.
- 8. Lighting Natural lighting so daytime, maybe some scenes recorded in the dark with back light to create a shadow, We might get lights which create purple or different colours to make the room chance colour which would impact the atmosphere of the video. Target audience 16-24 year olds because we might include alcohol, vape pens which may influence a teenagers below such age of 16 to do them. We think that this song applies to teenagers over age of 16 as that’s when we are the most independent which means we go out more with friends, stay up till late and come home late it’s the most rebellious stage. This song would still apply to 20-24 year olds as well as the song is about spending money which 24yr olds have due to them working so the main chorus Friday shows the week ending and their wild weekend starting so they can destress.
