Representations to music video!

As we are doing a Hip Hop song, most of representations will be Hip Hop artists. We inspire to people like Jay Z and Drake and watch their videos to get inspiration to as they represent our genre. The way they act, thier sense of dress and the mis-en-scene. We can imagine them making a video to the song we are using and that is why we like taking ideas from their music videos. Most Hip Hop artists create videos that we like and take inspiration from but its mainly them 2 artists who we are taking inspiration from. Additionally, Jay Z's 'rags to riches' story comes in handy with the video we are creating and the narrative behind it.

Videos like 99 Problems and Headlines are videos we will use to get ideas from. We are also analysing videos like 21 by Azelia Banks which are easy low budget movies to make and can work with our music video. The main thing that will be represented in our music video are money with fame and this can be seen in many music videos like Headlines by Drake. We will create scenes that represent a Hip Hop genre and this is where location and mis-en-scene are very important. We must look for the correct locations to show this link to the genre and this will be done by exploring around the city and using places we already know.
Representations are very important so the view gets the correct message and genre we are putting foward in our video. We must get it right so that it looks correct and if we get this wrong the video will not work and it won't be how we expected. Being professional is key in this video and we must try to use the best equipment and locations as we can.
