We have now decided to open with the character walking into this bedroom. The idea for the bedroom will be all one colour with one item hanging down all over the room.
An artist who makes similar artwork is defineltly an inspiration for us.
The character will walk around the room inspecting all of the object while rapping at the same time, Interacting with the room.
The character will then pick up two suitcases the same colour of the whole set and then leave the set. It will then cut to a chauffeur placing these bags in the back of a car from a side view, at the same time the character will continue to break the fourth wall and continue rapping.
The rapper will then walk to the boot and look at the bags and then shut the boot.
The shot will then go black and change to the rapper lying on a mountain of cookies eating a burger. This shot will require lots of cookies but we feel that we will be able to achieve a successful shot for this. We will need to get as much shot time out of this.
The person who we will use fits the character very well, he is very confident and loves being behind the camera which is very useful. We have already asked him and he has committed to being in our video and has already started to learn the lyric to the song.
The costume inspiration which we are going to base the style of our character on is, Lil Yatchty, ASAP rocky, lil tecca and Tyler the creator.
Hi Oli
ReplyDeleteGreat start on the blog - you've used images really well to demonstrate your initial ideas and how these have developed since you started working in a group. If you keep blogging for 20 mins after each lesson, your blog will be a comprehensive account. I can see that you've got two ideas that are in play at the moment. The next step is to commit to one of these and then go full steam ahead on developing the detail of what will you point the camera at. This will be critical as a video with a solo performer requires a far greater range of visual material in order to maintain audience's engagement. This is even more so the case if you go with a fast paced track as the quicker rhythm of the editing will burn through the visuals fast...
Finally I can see the content you have embedded in your post 'research into the music industry', please check and re-embed.
Well done
