Planning: Location - Ms Begum

Location


Introduction:

- As a group, we have decided to choose multiple locations to portray our narrative, performance and star image through out our music video. The locations which we have chosen were the street (quite/busy), the bed room, the sofa, the forest and in a studio. We have chosen these locations as it fit the themes and the genre as well as allowing us to make our music video appealing to our audiences.

Location 1: The dark room

Relevant lyrics: "My druggy" 'Love me, " When I'm ugly" Hug me"

Relevant to genre: Rap music is very conventional in dark locations as it adds visual aids to the music video.

Relevant to target audience: The audience can relate as when they have relationship trouble they to sit in a dark room all by themselves thinking abut the relationship problems.

Describe locations: The dark  room is going to be used at the start of music video as we need to show the audience that the artist is in a dark place getting high and thinking about someone( his druggy). This will help portray the theme of loneliness and addiction.

Advantages of location: A dark location can be achieved very easily and this location shooting would save time in our production.

Pontential problems and how you will overcome them: Dark location can be hard to film and hazards are that someone could be hurt in the dark location we will overcome this by making sure the room is clear of any objects that could be a danger.

Location 2: The street

Relevant to genre: In hip-hop/RN'B it is conventional to rap in the street, as it is specifically the locational origin of hip-hop.

Relevant to target audience: The target audience are usually appealed to singing/rapping on the street. This will easily appeal to our target audience.

Describe location:
This location will be used throughout the music video. It will be specific ally used to show the male character in the music video thinking of his imagination and being emotional about it.

Advantages of this location: This location is easily accessible to film and also it is conventional to the themes that will be represented in our music videos.

Location 3: The bedroom

Relevant to lyrics: "She met her match", "It let her match", "She lit  her match", "She let me smile".
These lyrics will be said when the female artist lights the match for the male's cigarette. The scene shows passion which is shown through the lyrics.

Relevant to genre: This setting is a typical place where sexual interaction occurs, as it is usually represented in hip hop and Rn'b.

Relevant to target audience: Our target audience, who are young adults can relate this as they usually goes through relationship issues. People usually go to their bedrooms when they are in a relationship dilemma, this is what will appeal to our target audience.
