Next Steps

My next steps of our rap music video research is too begin planning my ancillary task with my group, we will do this through the different elements of Mise-en-Scene to plan the correct music video to benefit our group.

Location
Through our ancillary task we have planned to create the images for this around the area of our college of the Bitterne Park, Townhill Park/St Mary's area to be able to create the correct image for our ancillary. We have planned to use the skate park in Woodmill of the Bitterne Park area to create some shots for his to make the right affect for a rap artists digipak and magazine cover. We have decided to use this due to the Eminem poster for his album Recovery and the urban setting which it has on it, we would like to create something like this as this would appeal to the target audience as it fits in with the rap industries current style. In Townhill Park/St Mary's we are planning on taking photographs of a large block of flats to use within our digipak to create a more urban vibe for the audience.

Costume
We would like to have similiar costumes to what is currently being shown in the rap industries music video's as we know this fits in, but also having the artist look like a normal everyday person due to our results of our questionnaire of a lot of people selecting the option for a normal everyday person. This would appeal to our target audience as the large majority of people who answered our questionnaire was within the 17-20 age range which shows a lot of the people who selected a normal everyday person would have been from this age range. We could create this by showing a rapper through their clothing but having their facial appearance look like a normal everyday person.
For example within this photograph of Eminem on the right, he is dressed as an ordinary person but he also has his rap side to him which is clear that he is currently doing.



Style of Rap
We have decided to create a mainstream rap music video as this was the most popular, this has maintained from our initial ideas, I believe that the audience we had answer our questionnaire rated highly on mainstream rap instead of alternative rap because of the Tribe Wired Life Matrix audience we have. I believed this would be rated higher than alternative rap for this reason.

Props
Within our music video we have decided to involve different props which are within the codes and conventions of a rap music video as we have decided to incorporate different types of drunks and alcohol into our music video to fit in with the codes and conventions of a rap music video.

Why?
We have decided to create our music video using these different options through the research of our questionnaires which we sent out. Our final idea of our rap music video is based along side of out questionnaire to be able to meet the requirements of our audience as this shows the different parts which will  meet our target audience in order for our music video to be a success.
