RESEARCH: Analysing Costume, Setting and Location

Analysing Costume, Setting and Location




- There was 38 Base Tracks

Costume:

15 Outfits
8 Outfits for 2 artists
7 Outfits on 6 Extras
Costume fitted in well with the music video feel. Criminals wore hoodies as did the victim, brings in feel of gang crime. The two artists then changed their outfit to a much more expensive, cleaner outfit when reaching a 'better point' in the music video where lyrics suggested things were improving. This was a sort of visual illustration of the improvement. There was also suitable costume, with the parents wearing their nightdresses at home and casual clothing outside from any other extras.

Settings:

First street, car pulling up
Konan's house (1st house)
Krept's house. (2nd house)
Car parked in street outside
Street the two artists walk down
A Living Room
Outside a house/estate

The settings also was very relevant to the artists and their background. There was nothing extra-ordinary yet the lyrics were correlating to the location eg: running into bedroom. The music video overall aimed to recreate an event that the rapper had been affected by. Using simple locations also helped the audience to relate to the music video and the rapper. There were locations such as streets and flats which we walk by everyday, making the artists and their lives seem closer to us.

Props:

Car
Phone

Not many props were needed for this music video, but relevant ones were brought in to add to effect such as the BlackBerry phone when the artists says about the message he received, as well as the call.
