Locations for our music video

Image result for southend beach
Southend beach would be a good location because having a pebbled beach opposed to a fine sand beach emulates the gritty, tough sound that the song has. Filming on a cloudy/overcast day would also help create a slow mood for the first part of the song up to where the guitar comes in.

Image result for camden market stables
Camden market has a plethora of spacesto use that would suit our music video well. From the lock to the underground stables market, there are plenty of spaces that we could incorporate into our music video as there are a lot of colourful stalls and shops, especially in the food market area.
Image result for drama studio
Using a drama studio with a black backdrop and bight overhead lights will help emphasise the first part of the song with the main singer. Having bright makeup/face paint will draw the attention of the audience to the artist.

Textual analysis of a music video-Who Dat Boy by Tyler The Creator



Who Dat Boy is mainly a narrative music video, although the narrative isn't exactly clear. It starts out with Tyler The Creator in a dark room welding something at a desk. As the beat drops he quickly turns to the camera and the mysterious object he was welding explodes. The title of the song appears on screen and it cuts to a very saturated scene of him running through the neighbourhood with a huge gash on his face. This contrast between the bright colour scheme of yellow and blue versus the dark red blood on his face shows us that the song has a dark undertone. He walks up to a house down the street, stumbling all over the place and as he approaches A$AP Rocky comes into frame with bright pink clothing, again going back to the bright colour scheme. The next shot is of A$AP Rocky performing surgery on Tyler, and the lighting in this scene is very low which is completely opposite to after the surgery has been completed and both Rocky and Tyler are outside. Colours are extremely important in this music video as right at the end there is a golden wrapped Lamborghini.
