Location Analysis

These are the variopus locations we intend to use in our music video in order to appeal to our target audience through various ways, below are photos of these locations and a brief description as to why we intend to use them.

This is the electrical tower at Crystal palace park and the reason i feel this particul;ar location would be effective is because it can create a strong contrast between the Performers and there evironment in terms of height it urbanises the music video whilst allowing for a great shot at the same time.

This is a lake at Hyde park in central london the reason i want to use this location is because it has a romantic connotation behind it, i intend to have both male actor 1 and femal actress walking across the bank of this lake for a brief moment the will be no lip syncing in this scene as i feel it will be more effective to focus on the couple togather in the natural surroundings.

These Steps are in crystal palace park and instantly i thought this would be effective location for performance scenes where male actor 1 can rap on theses steps from a worms eye view, or male actor 2 can sing and dance on these steps with a long shot being used to capture the entire profile of male actor 2

Video Dairy Day1 (location Scouting)

This was our first day out looking for possible locationts for our music video i found this day very productive as it gave us an idea of the different angles we could use to create the romantic effect we are tying to create.

Star image planning

This side by side photo, of both me and Will.i.Am. where i am representing myself in a similar fashion to "Will.i.Am" as he does the vocals on the chorus, His star images is a contrast to Common, "will i am's" star image maintains a certain level of sophistication whilst remaining urbanised. Me and my group came to the conclusion that I would be a perfect fit for the role of Will.i.Am, as I naturally dress in a similar fashion. therefore giving an accurate reflation of "Will.I.Am's" star image

This are side by side photo's, of both Allin and The Game. there are distinctive similarities between them both, Allin is good at representing the star image of  " The Game" as they both are dressed in urban clothing reflecting the fashion trend in the Hip-Hop genre of music. The reason we an still use Allin as the lead artist for our song choice is because his representation and collaberation with the star image of game combined with our song choice being in the hip-hop and R&B genre . As he is in our group it will be easier to get hold of him.

Male actor 2 costume and connotations behind them

these flat peak hats are classy and are perfect for an R&B singer, the general connotations behind this is a man/women with style and class which is a convention of R&B songs/Artists

These jeans are urban and trendy and the reason i want to use them is because it will help myself/male actor 2 fit closer with the audience of hip-hop and R&B these jeans are also something that the original supporting artist in the music video would wear it is also a direct link with "Will I Am's" star image  

The clever combination of urban and classy is a difficult one to pull of, whilst trying to be original at the same time  and trying to keep with the general representation of "Will I Am's" star image these  brand of trainers are internationally known for beng a classy trainer to the extent some night clubs will even let you in with them on, so i see no better reason then to include them in the outfit of male actor two.

Hip-hop and R&B has to contain a level of bling and this is exactly why i have chosen to implement a black Shamballa necklace in the costume of male actor 2 as there is a direct link with bling and hip-hop as it is one of the conventions of being a hip-hop/R&B artist.

Elvis jesus is a well known design that combines the idea of trendy, urban and classy in all of his clothes and there designs so i see no other reason not to put this in my music video as it will work well with the look of male actor 2

The connotation behind having a scarf represents cold weather and cold feeling about being hurt, decieved and betreyed which is why i will have this in my music video on male Actor 2
