Analysis of performers style and image in order to create a suitable music video for the performer.

This video is about a boy which is telling the world that nothing is there to stop him from his fame, As people always wants to be other people when they are famous or reach famous, the idea of a girl is to show that he is imitating those who want to be him and reach his success. So the idea of a girl wearing masculine outfits our idea. But the idea is that she dresses like a boy/ girl who lives within the 'hoods' so that the scenes in the bus and studio make sense.

The make up which she would be wearing is going to be clear so that it keeps that natural look of a boy, Although some scene she would be having her hair up to represent a boy although at other scenes her hair down to still keep the idea of her being a girl. As her eyes are blue, we would try to keep it dark within the editing because the colour element which is only going to stand out is blue which is nearly the same colour as the actress.

equpitments

Steadicam: we would need this as; the Camera would be following the actress movements. Also it would be very easy for us to move around.

Tripod: This would need as some video positions we would need to be steady, so the tripod would capture a better movement.
Artificial Lighting: This might be needed. The lighting would keep the same in the video and to create a better vibe.
Studio Monitors: Loud speakers are used in order to project the music and sound around the area. This equipment will be used within our Studio scene in order to keep the studio scene realist. These types of monitors are used.
Microphones: This is used to project the persons/ object sound out loud and more projective in order to be heard properly. Microphone would be used to keep that studio vibe; so that the video looks like a real studio which celebrities and other music artist record their music within.
Laptops (Apple Mac) : This would also be within the music video and out. The apple macs would be used within the video to create that studio scene and also to show the new technology within the video. Also out the video, Apple mac computers would be used as they would be used to edit the videos.
Keyboard: (Music) This is to be used when the studio scene which can be used to show a more realistic studio. Also the keyboards are there to represent music. Also this is to get the audience attention.

Budget

The cost of the costume and location would be freee as we would have access to get our own costume. Also we would only have to pay the fee for the bus fair which is going to be £4.50. The only problem we are going to face is if the bus company asks us to give in some money to use the bus.
other then that the only money/ budget we would be using is the bus fair.
there also going to be budget of the drink we are going to buy, the powerade is the next type of budget we would be buying.

Presentation

 

This is our presentation, it is to display our inspirations and goals toward the class and so that they would understand what we would want within our video. The presentation shows little parts of our pre-production and storyline. 

Animatic

The Rej3ctz - Cat Daddy (Starring Chris Brown)

The type of Animation of writing used in this video, is the type we want to use. We are using this type of animation because we want to create a live vibe. Also it would be very unique from other type of music videos, as our video would be in black and white. As many video's that are being produced they have animation so that it has that trend of wild, free and energetic. Many music videos are used to the type of things the audience do, such as trends, the type of beat they are now interested in music videos.  So within our video we choose to have animation so that it would interest the audience and make them feel more attracted to the video.

Location List

Our location for our work would be in different areas. Our 1st area we would be located is at a house. This place is needed becuase in our video the place it will be starting would be in side a bedroom. The 2nd location would be in a bus stop. We are using this location becuase this music video is ment to show the life was a teenager, so the bus stop would be a  appropraite place to film it in. Another location would be within the bus. This to engage with the scene in the bus stop. The other location would be in the area near the studio. Samantha would be walking in the street, to show the narrative side of the music video. It also would be in the same location as the studio.
The studio will be located in Foleshill/Stoney Stanton. We choosen this location becuase one of the members have easy acces to the area. Also it is to reflex on the moral we are trying to send.

Crew List

Within our group Shuab Ahmed, Mohamed Bham and Myself ( Marian Hussein)
The actress in this video would  be Samantha Comeford and there would be extra back up group of girls.

Treatment

This Music video is about a young boy who wants to gain success and trying to show the world no one is going to stop him. Although there is a mix. Which is the artist himself acting in the video, it is a female. She would be living a life like a teenager boy who wants to get famous. This video is going through reality scenes, from Double Decker buses to the studio. As many teenagers and other people want to reach fame, Sam the actress is imitating the artist as her 'role model'. She would display herself as him, dress like him, walk like him and also act like him, this is what many teenagers would do in this generation. For example when Nicki Minaj was introduced into the 'Music Game', many female and male people started to imitate her look and how she acts, this can be the same towards our video. He would go to the studios to standing around bus stops, she would imitate the exact things so that the audience understand the lifestyle of the artist

Risk Assesment

The risk of this assessments can vary.
1. The shoes which Sam is going to wear might not fit her properly, so she might have problems moving i.e she may trip.
2. Many other people might be in the video and may not approve it. So some people would be abusive.
3. The Bus might have a car crash.
4. Teenagers might rob our equipments as we would be taking the video in the public.
5. The weather might be hazardous and the camera can be damaged.
6.  Public might find our video offensive towards them.

Story Board > Shuab Ahmed and Mohamed Bham

Mood Board

 The mood board shows what types of colours, shots and images we would like to present within our music video. It also shows the type of music video we would be trying to present with the images, for example the hat and black and white pictures show the  video type we are using and what materials which are going to be within the video.

Image Of Looking for extra members on the msuic video

in this presentation we are looking to get extra actress. For the reason being one of the scene we would need to have background people becuase one of the lyrics talks about male brothers being behind his back.

Inspirations

Within this Video made by Ice Cube, he has a black and white video but only certain colours which stand out, as shown in the picture above the colours he uses are blue, red and yellow in the other parts in the video. He uses this because when  of when people drink and get drunk over thier heads they hallucinate. So the colours show the colours which are very visible towards them. Although within our Video we are using blue elements only because: The colour blue is refereed to males and Blue symbolizes: youth, spirituality, truth, peace and distance which also represents the lyrics of the song of no space which resembles 'distance'.

Also this scene is like the scene within the studio, where we still want to keep the colour scheme which is black and white and also with blue elements. We didn't get the idea from here, but it similar so that we can get the 'vibe' of a young teenagers life. But although the studio scene which we want would be her standing and so that we can see the costume she is wearing to also show the blue elements within the video. We chose to do that in order to not have a dull video which only has a little colour and to keep the audience interested.

Custom Of Characters

In our video we are having a black and white video but with blue elements standing out.
So in order to achieve this, the custom we are going to use need to have blue within it.

Blue T-shirt
Blue Pumps
Grey Hoodie
Hat with Blue Elements
Black Trousers

We are using bagging material clothes, in order to send the message of masculinity. 

Adele - Someone Like You

With in this video, we want to use the concepts of the black and white video and also to use how they used the structure of the camera. As this video shows a narrative story, ours we are trying to do the similar. Although as we would be having some elements blue. Our main aim is to have the same tracking as this video, so that it can show the same privileges and also tho show the lifestyle of a teenager who is trying to look for fame.

Summary Of Setting

Characters Meeting

10 October

Within this lesson we was tying to establish how to use the camera, also we was creating scenery for example what the colours we are going to use is. Also we changed parts of the ideas we had.

Rehersals

Within our rehearsals we are planning to get many actress within the story line because we have a scene which needs more then one actor. As Sam is the main actress, in one of the scenes in the studio we need to get other actress in order to give the scene a more balanced vibe. Also the people we will be looking for are going to be females because as this video is a opposite of every "gender" part in the lyrics . So we are having females rather men.

change of colouring

Within our group we have realised that red isnt the right colour to use as an element.
For the reason being we was having a difficulty on the colour and also the actresses skin tone.
So we decided to go to blue because this colour shows masculinity. Also clarity, of having no emotions because men have less emotions then women.
