How detailed is my research?

• Before we started filming I carried out a lot of research into the codes and conventions of the genre we were representing in order to portray an accurate representation of our artists.

• Research into mise-en-scene, locations and editing techniques provided a strong understanding of the genre rap.

• I captured screenshots of the rap artists website we were portraying, it was very helpful to discover their clothing store online because our target audience would most likely purchase their clothing. Therefore we followed their clothing style which was casual wear and made our artists dress similarly. Fan Site Artists we are

portraying:Krept and Konan

How successful was our planning?

• We planned each scene very well, the costumes and locations were all prepared beforehand. However we had some issues with the last scene at ‘Suicide bridge’, because it was filmed at night. We decided we wanted the whole music video to be filmed in daylight, so we re-filmed the scene at ‘Suicide bridge’ at the last minute.

My blogging

So far I have been very consistent in my blogging, I have tried to blog at least one extra blog a week as evidence of further research. Furthermore I try to

focus on keeping my blogs detailed instead of posting large quantities of blogs. Also in the future I will try to use a variety of different technologies to

present my work.
