Final Film Ideas

Today we made greta progress finally confirming our final ideas. We wanted to have a documentary styled music video (perofrmance based). The video would consist of young teens in estates, rapping and acting like street thugs, whilst wearing animal masks to give the impression that the estate is like a concrete jungle. We then wanted most of the shots to consist of 'Professor Green' in a walk and talk shot whilst rapping and occasional cuts to establishing shots of the estates and 'animals'. Next step is to plan the storyboard, search for props and to find potential actors

Professor Green Jungle Lyrics

I see no point in living life that right, so I just take what I can find.
I see no point in living life that right, when your out here in this jungle.
It's wild round 'ere, you don't wanna spend a night round 'ere.
When your out here in this jungle, aint nothing nice round 'ere, troubles what you find round 'ere.
When your out here in this jungle, in this jungle.
Your always caught in this struggle, in this jungle .
But you keep asking for trouble, you love? You love when trouble comes your way, your way, your way.

Verse 1: Welcome to Hackney, a place where I think somebody's been playing Jumanji.
A Manor where man are like animals, an' they'll yam on you like they yam on food.
Cats with claws that'll stab a yout', act bad an' catch a slap or two.
We don't applaud success, all we clap are tools.
London aint cool to cruise through where the hunters pray, Looking lunch today, and your chains looking like fresh fruit to a hungry ape.
They'll eat on you, then laugh about it like Hyenas do, so stick to breezing through, like cheeta's do or be a piece of food.
Chorus
When your out here in this jungle.
It's wild round 'ere, you don't wanna spend a night round 'ere.
When your out here in this jungle, aint nothing nice round 'ere, troubles what you find round 'ere.

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/jungle-lyrics-professor-green.html ]

When your out here in this jungle, in this jungle.
Your always caught in this struggle, in this jungle .
But you keep asking for trouble, you love? You love when trouble comes your way, your way, your way.

Verse 2: It's blitz admist the strife here, got kids with sticks and knifes here.
It's hype here, we know no different prick; it's just life here, life the way we know from young the way we're shown.
Stacked trapped in flats where our front doors don't face the road.
God CID spinning round in cars, shifting criminals at large, it's hard, not to think the bits are just a bing without the bars.
Jealousy's what the cheddar brings, for the cheddar it's anything goes, low enough to rob newly weds for their wedding rings
Everyday is warring, never give a warning, violence is the only way you settle things, everyday is hating, money that I'm making, jealous 'cause I'm moving on to better things, everyday is fighting, rolling in the night now. All you do is watch everyone else get far, you say that life is hard..
When your out here in this jungle.
It's wild round 'ere, you don't wanna spend a night round 'ere.
When your out here in this jungle, aint nothing nice round 'ere, troubles what you find round 'ere.
When your out here in this jungle, in this jungle.
Your always caught in this struggle, in this jungle .
But you keep asking for trouble, you love? You love when trouble comes your way, your way, your way.

How have you used webpage conventions to create brand identity

I have used webpage convention in order to create brand identity by creating a logo. This logo has been carefully researched and planned taking into consideration colours and font. I originally started with 3 designs which i then from there was able to make one company logo. This logo consisted of a boombox which is a general iconography for hip-hop whilst above it was the name of the Company (H-Town).

Music iconography

Music iconography

View more presentations from Denzie Nkemnacho.

Looking at how these media used iconogaphy, i discovered that most of these UK Hip Hop artists tend to use a lot of futuristic/graffiti fonts in there designs whilst centering the colours around purple and sort of typical neon like colours. This is shown by artists like Tinchy Stryder and Tinie Tempah as they tend to use those sort of neon colours. I believe this is done to provide the feeling that they are actually for rave/dance genres as their style of music does cross in to the genre of dance. Therefore, there are iconographical links between genres through colour.

I found these specific colours and fonts very interesting for my artist as they each provide there own feel to it and all could be used whilst providing a totally different effect. Such as pink could be used for him as it is mostly associated with pop and would go well if we were marketing it at girls because of well known stereotypes.

benefits and risks of using the internet for promotion

Benefits-
the internet allows the artist(s) to tap into a more diverse fanbase, it increases their knowledge of the band, allows the band to increase popularity and allows iconographical links to be made with in your promotion and finally allows viral promotion.

Risks-
there is a risk of hackers defacing and ruining the promotion,there are risk of malfunction such as the McFly super city site and misinterpretation of the band (possibly by anonymous people reconstructing the image of the artist.

Audience research results

From our Research we discovered 71 % of our feedback was from peopple who liked the genres of professor green and we also from that discovered More of the females (43% to be exact) preferred his music whilst a smalle 22% of males liked his music. But most of the boys that liked his music also like violent action films. however due to our survey being flawed in the sense that there are more females that took the survey i have used my exsisting knowledge of Pro Green's fan base i would go against my survey and argue that men would prefer his music because of the content of this particular song(pro green- jungle)

Audience Profiling

Conventions of a typical web page

There are many conventions within a typical web page and each convention provides there own function. One convention would be images as this to to engage and help the audience identify the page content. You also have copy which is mainly to inform the audience. Logos are key for providing ideology. Hyperlinks allows the audience to have access to more information. Layouts and house styles provides structure which could also provide room for ideology.

Specific Music Research

As part of my development towards creating this music video i was required to do some specific research to my genre. Below is my analysis of a music video by Wiley entitled Never be your woman. I chose this artist as he was someone who i found really relatable to my chosen Artist(Pro Green)as they both do mainstream UK Hip-hop.

Introduction

Today we were assigned our groups and began discussing the conventions of music videos and how some of our more personally memorable films used those conventions. We discussed what we liked about the films and began talking about the 3 main types of music videos (Narrative, Performance, Abstract). Once we had finished discussing how these music video types related to our chosen music videos we then began research. I looked at Plan B- Prayin' and whilst looking carefully at the video and previous music videos he's made i discovered that his films are actually a mixture of all 3 types of music video. his music videos always have some sort of narrative for example prayin' is about him being sent to prison and we watch his story from when he enters till when the whole prison attempt to escape. he also does elements of performance as he is in his prison cell singing to himself and also has the abstract element linking into the performance when they start dancing which breaks the conventions of realistic narrative however it also relates to the the narrative. i also researched Drake- Miss me. This song is mainly performance based but has elements of abstract. The video sees Drake majority of the time performing the song but has loads of quick shots of things that don't relate to the song for example the beginning starts with time remapping of drake having thrown a bottle at a wall and it also shows occasional shots of a woman dancing although it has no relation to the song whatsoever.
