Research

I researched a music video called 'To The Homies We Lost' from R Kelly that has the same genre as the music video we are doing 'Broken Silence' from So Solid Crew. I used this video to research, plan and give ideas for the music video we are doing. It helped me to see what I can put in my music video to link the genre and the stereotypical views to see in a grime music video. In the music video I researched has a story line simpler to the storyline we are doing in our music video, about people getting shot and stabbed and how it affects people around them, such as their loved ones. The music video shows different memories from the past of the person that got killed to make the audience feel the sadness of the story being told, some scenes in the music video shows the artist singing at a church next to a coffin, we took this idea for our music video to have our artist sing at a graveyard, we felt the locations are also important as it helps to create the genre of the music video and have a affect on the audience. We felt the scenes in the music video should have a message to the audience and link to the lyrics in the song being told, this would make the audience see the genre more clearly. The audience is looking for a music video that would entertain them and show a story within the video which would make them want to watch the music video more than once. The researched helped me a lot to make ideas for the genre of the music video and to stay on path of what we are showing to our audience.
