Overall Review of the week

I have planned our filming to some extent and have done a Ruth write up of our story board. So that we can start to film.
I have also chosen our song which we think that is best to produce as a music video with the resources available.

The equipment that we are going to use has been thought through so that we can get the equipment needed before we start to film, so that when we do film we can start straight away.
So we have planned what we need to film in our first day of filming.
Now that I have chosen the song, I have now done some research on Choong Family, on where they have come from, who’s a part of the band and what music/albums they have produced over the years that they have been singing.

I have also put a video of the band into my blog so that I can show the Choong Family - Adreniline, there official music video in action and the song which they sing in this song is the song that we are going to do.
And I have also taken down the lyrics of the song so that I can brake it down and work out what I have to do and what I want to do for each scene.
So this will help me produce my story board and will help finish my filming much quicker.

I have also created a Questionnaire just to get some audience feedback which may help us in our filming.
I have also researched what different genres there are in music to see where we are heading.
I researched the top 20 best music videos of today.
The top 10 singer songwriters of all time and the best Boy singer songwrites that have been produced, as another part of my research that might be helpful.

Lyrics to Adrenaline .........

Sub hook: Why they acting like there gully when they don't want war, listen if u aint raving why u come here for, kill that ice grilling I'm feeling u aint that raw, forget a fist fight, what do u think we done this for..X2

Scandal: Scandeez I strangle the mic, manhandle the mic, 16 spill and dismantle the mic, Mc's bout to get hanged in a line, choong fam yeah the whole gang on a rise, stay taking paper both hands in a pie, beef I'm well prepared stamp on a guy, they don't really want it see prang in their eyes aint no love for these wanna be bad silly guys , I merk the mic clean everytime, bun any rave it get wheel everytime.

Afix: merk a mic or 2, engineer for seven and I merk a cipher crew, live from the avenue, disperse the life, get it right, man a burst 2nite, we spit flame man a merging right, we drip pain on the curb and draw ur conclusion, I spit switch lanes arrange the transfusion, cant lose and 110 percent, were psycho-cimatic choong fam theatrics, we need therapy to chill like brake lights, should be rewarded in the source with 8 mics, and to mention drive like dirt bikes got hands on the pipe I supply the big bytes, cant with or bang with choong slang, restriction is standard like bun the klu clan.

Hook
(3 breaths) Adrenaline
Repeat 3 times
Sub hook


Afix: afix the name man a rep the pavement, spit flame, rip stage, man a rep the payment, for the double of my lines I assess the cases, in this game never sign just inspect the phases cos 80% of u man r not baiding and cameras r flashing relax it aint pay mission, forget a deterrent I'm tryin to get papers and choong click and a bang, we flaming em.

Scandal: merk a mic or 2, pure vibe, man they cant deny the truth spark a light or 2, sharp like knife in u. kill em on a riddim no they cant what I can do bars like bicycles, beats I'm riding thru , clash me son it aint advisable, flows like icicles, I aint following no trends I write the rules still see me rolling thru the ends all type of tools, get paid maintain from day to day, all I wanna do is get blazed then raise the game, I aint trying to get caged and waste away, flee like a renegade, money levitate trying to elevate, switch lanes like a get away, which way for the better cake, I put heart in the track true bars on the track class on a track, rip a kid apart it's a rap.

Hook
Sub hook

Pyro: come flow with the greatest pro's wanna hate us, and a lot of fake boys wanna snake us, ho's wanna date us, so its brain for the givers and a lash for the takers, I plan to get some doe like a bakers and I got no love for time wasters baitest voice on the earth cos my bars are strong like henny with no chasers, p on the track, how greasy is that, leading the pack, still weaving the rats, its easy to rap, man I got it locked down from leeds to iraq, keep reading the stats were making big moves, p's to be stacked and take a big cruise, I got eyes on cribs with big pools, I'm a big boy I don't play with kid rules.

Music Video : Choong Family - Adreniline

WHY I HAVE PICKED THIS VIDEO ?

.I picked the music video CHOONG family - adrenaline because I think this is a realistic video that I can produce with the facilities and equipment that i have to use.
.I am not a huge fan of this song but the video is very good but can show the younger generation in a bad light but I think this will help me produce a good music video.
.The lyrics in this song talks about at first people owing money and then the story evolves into a big chase scene and the man which owes the money is hunted down , the chase is on foot and there is also a car chase, the key word in this song is Adrenaline, the video follows this word as it is all a fast tempo and quick cuts and scene, to make it look like the adrenaline is rising.
.In my Audience research I found out that the younger people like this type of music as a whole and that there were mixed views on genres such as RnB, Hip Hop and so on but this song and genre was liked by my main target audience.
Also in this song the word Adrenaline is key and the video is showing a lot of action in a short period of time, which goes with the key word and name of the song, so I think I can make a good video out of the lyrics used in the song.
