Research and planning: Lyrical analysis


Production: Editing

This image displays the inspiration of our grime video from inspirational artists; Chip, Yungen and Stormzy who Isaiah Dreads I'm sure takes inspiration from himself. We edited the music video into a montage to quickly display examples of grime videos without dragging out the montage. 

This image shows a montage being cut and edited into time to display the use of the steadicam I both my journey to production and in production of our grime music video. Displaying skills of cutting, editing, syncing and filming.

The vlog concludes with showing the audience an example of our music video. Our video star is in the booth for the concluding hook and it lines up with the song, which is played throughout the vlog - capturing the key to time on the editing process. 

Research and Planning: Risk Assessment

HEALTH/SAFETY/FILMING CONDITIONS


FILMING CONDITIONS
- Conditions were generally good over the course of the filming process.
- Although overcast in the morning sessions, the afternoon shoot we did turned out to be successful with no rain both times.
- For night time scenes, we needed to ensure we had a sufficient amount of lighting available in order for us to see clearly. Therefore, we used LED powered portable lamps which are specialised for filming purposes. Additionally, we made use of the available street and building lights.
HEALTH/SAFETY
-Camera/filming equipment needed to be protected.
- No safety equipment needed to be worn, but we did need to dress appropriately (coats/hats/other warm clothing) to cope with the demands of the ever-changing winter weather.
- Locations near roads - important to keep focus and avoid accidents
- We had to distribute the filming equipment evenly within the group, so each member was responsible for its preservation and use.

Research and Planning: Isaiah Dreads The Artist

The artist of the song 'Hype In The Booth', Isaiah Dreads gave us permission to use his music video. We will be sending him the final product once it's complete as the song currently doesn't have a made music video.

Research and planning: Feedback on animatic


We had our fellow media peers to give us feedback on what they thought of our storyboard plan and the actual song itself.

Summary of feedback:
  • Our into is authentic and looks very real. It builds anticipation for the video to start and emphasises the grime genre.
  • We have a variety of shots and the video is rapidly paced to keep viewers intrigued.
  • The song is fast-paced, exciting and fits the grime genre.
