Beachcombing


This video is by Meek Mill and Rick Ross called ''Off The Corner'' and it interests me because in my video I would like to produce a video with the juxtaposition of poor and rich people. We denote this at 1:40 seconds where a medium wide shot has been shown to see the expensive clothing chains and designer shades whereas at 1:41 seconds there is a clear juxtaposition of the rich and poor lifestyle where we denote a medium wide shot of men topless and dirty outworn shirts. This is the type of image I would like to create for my video. This video reaches out to a wider target audience but most importantly to black boys who may have came from difficult backgrounds and may see this as an inspirational message they can be rich even if you started off poor.



This video by Young Adz ft Dirtbike & Aero Sinc called ''Squad'' interests me because of the various of big name cars like Range rovers, Audi R8 V10, Audi Q5, Feffari etc. and the Rolex watches and chains in the video. Although, I will not have the funds to afford any of the items used in this video i'll like to emulate them in a way. For example, I'll use my mums interior car desgin to show certain parts of the video and for the exterior shots I'll use my neigbours luxury car. At 0.16 seconds we denote a close up shot of a rolex watch which will target two types viewers. The first type of viewer will be the one who can relate and are capable of purchasing it and the second type of viewer will be the one who wish they had and are incapable financially of purchasing it. In addition, we denote a medium wide shot of the interior design of the car which shows the importance and value of the Audi brand of the car.




This video by Nines called 'Money On My Mind' in this video we denote the rapper empty out a Moet bottle all out see many chains watches and cars. Although there is no contrast of rich and poor which is what i'll like to include in my video the rich side to it interests me as they're things i'd like to include in my own video. One thing dislike about this video is the arrogance of the character which isn't what my character to be portrayed as although he is showing his success that he is blatantly rich by wasting a whole bottle of Moet champagne but i believe it isn't appropriate espescially to people who are unable to afford the champagne.



This video is by Ed Sheeran  and is in and R&B music video and is shot in black and white and subverts from the expected R&B videos of half-naked girls, money, cars & chains. I really like this video becasue it supports the funds I have as the quality of the video is average and the costumes in the video suits what my character will wear as at  1:22 seconds we denote a male wearing nike trainers jeans and a hoody which is the look i want to give my male character. In addition, the video is original and shot in black & white which connotes the idea of depression and bad vibes which is going to be in my video. The most important part of this R&B video I really like is the unexpected of the R&B generation with all the conventional aspects like money, cars, jewellery etc whilst this video is the complete opposite with the casual look and clothing.







This video is by Stooshe and is pop music video and conforms with the pop culture with constant smiles on the girls faces and the colourful atmosphere is created through the use of costume and props. This video interests me because of the variety of colourful costumes. I would like to use colourful costumes and atmosphere when my character is in my music video performing on stage. At 0.46 seconds we denote a medium close up shot of the three artists performing which is a shot I would like to use in my music video as you visualise the expressions of the artist face and also their chest and above where you see the flashy props around their necks and wrists etc. Enabling this into my music video will help conform with this pop video of colourful props and flashy items.
