Organisation- Choosing my costume

When choosing me costume I needed to choose a costume that is similar to other rappers. I have looked at different rappers costumes. Such as:

Iggy Azalae

Niki Minaj

Lady Sovereign 

Little Kim 

Drafting and planning- Cd front cover

The front cover will be in black and white and some bold reds and pinks.

This is because I would like it tpstand out.

Drafting and planning- About music videos

1. ''A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings.''
2. A music video is what artists use to emphasis a meaning that they have already put across in their song. For example Kate bush sung 'wuthering heights' and in this she is featured in a foggy moor just like the song she is singing about. She is singing about a book which is based on a moor.

Drafting and planning- Choosing a song

I checked with Jessie what song she wanted to do. I choose a list of songs and i allowed her to pick what one she wanted to do. I had to make sure that it was one that she was comfortable with.
We listened to them all once and then took it down to two songs that were appropriate.
We got it down to Fancy and Black widow featuring Rita Ora.
We listened to both songs and thought about ideas for both and decided what was the most appropriate song to choose and what one she would be most comfortable in performing in.
In the end we choose Black widow by Iggy azalea and Rita Ora.

This song has one swear word in it and i ill make sure that i block this out in the song as it is not appropriate and Jessie is not comfortable in swearing in the music video.

Organisation- Looking for who can be in my music vidio

I would like my eldest sister to play the role of the main character in my music video. I am aware that she is studying at uni however i still live with her. I have asked my sister when she is available and i have got some dates that i can use her on.
I have collected a few dates when she is free so that we can discuss what she can wear and how she should try and act, i have set a few dates where she learns the song lyrics and practices lip sinking.
And then i will start to think about the dates of filming.
I have made sure that Jessie (my sister) is available and will not give um on my m music video half way through and this means i will not come across any problems in her not wanting to do it and me having to look for someone else or changing my music video completely.

Drafting and planning- What song to choose

I know that i want to do rap. I want to do rap because it is a style of music that i am interested in and after looking at other peoples A2 projects i can see that the rap ones are more entertaining and there is a lot more that you can do with them.

I am looking at a female artist that i can choose and i am especially interested in Iggy Azalea. She is a artist that i really like listening to and the i feel as though there is a lot of attitude in her songs and this means that i have a lot to play with and a lot that i can do with the song. I have choose to go with a conventional way of the music video and this means i want whoever is in my video to lip sink.

I looked at a few videos of Iggy and listened to the words to see what one was most approprite and the one that i feel like i could really show off my creativity.

Drafting and planning- Lip syncing or Abstract

Lip syncing- ''Lip sync, lip-sync, lip-synch (short for lip synchronization) is a technical term for matching lip movements with sung or spoken vocals. The term can refer to any of a number of different techniques and processes, in the context of live performances and recordings.''
Lip syncing may be used in my music video as the person playing an artist would move their mouth at the same time as the words are played so it gives the illusion that they are singing it. 

Abstract- This is where there is no lip syncing and the music video is based on a story line or just a feature of moving images.
