and so does his fitness• We seem him be successful, he looks at the picture and we can see him happy, like

he has achieved something• Styling: School attire, running attire, as he progresses he looks smarter/happier etc.

Narrative Mood board

USP + Possible Locations• The use of the flat cap/scarf and trendy glasses will be the unique

selling point as it recognisable and something we can create a brand image on (Digipaks etc.)

• Challenging aspect would be building layers of the narrative so its clear (Constructing).

• Locations will include: • Riverside, open field, bathroom, dimly lit room or house/ suburban

alleyways etc.

Digipak InspirationFraming of the artist and Positioning

Song• Lil Uzi Vert – P’s and Q’s• Genre: American Hip Hop/ Rap• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J59UasgEqTw

• Our video will be primarily performance. This will consist of rapping into the camera and dancing. It will be broken up with establishing shots of the locations we are filming in and shots of people dancing.

• These locations are:• Graffiti wall – Hannover Way, Dedworth • Set of garages – Ruddlesway, Windsor• Faces Mural – Under relief road – Windsor• King Edward carpark – Windsor

What will happen• Our video starts out zoomed in on the rapper. He is sitting on his bed with his

headphones on listening to P’s and Q’s. As the beat starts to build up, the camera zooms out and the rapper starts nodding his head and swaying to the song more. As the beat drops, he stands up and performs a dance move called ‘hit dem folks’. This then cuts to a new location and will have the main performer with lots of mates who will be dancing along to the song with him. It will be repeated 4 times and each time will be a different location.

• To keep the video interesting and to keep the audience watching, we will switch between locations very often. This will create a fast pace for the video and will help match the genre.

• In each location, we will record a base track of joey rapping into the camera with friends in the background dancing. We will also record establishing shots for each location, as well as medium and close up shots on a single dancer to keep the video entertaining.

USP (Styling)• Main performer – Joey• The unique selling point of our performer will be his hair. The top of his hair will be curly and dyed blonde. He will also always have a pair of headphones on.

• All of the performers in the video will be dressed in a hip hop style fashion. They will have jeans (skinny or ripped) with a long and stylish tee shirt on. Accessories such as chains and bandanas will be very useful in creating our styling for the artist.

Inspirational Videos• Style of dance: Wicked (SheLovesMeechie)• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMe1BWjdq7E

• Style of rap/camera movement: Anime – Caroline / Migos – bad and boujee

Lauv - Breathe• Starts off with a close up of the performer in his bed. This will be where the

artist will performing throughout the video. You can see his surroundings clearly. This style of shot will be used as our main base track. In between this there will be various montage-style shots containing the performer doing exciting activities including: Skiing & Snowboarding, Mountain-boarding, Scuba-Diving, Surfing and visiting big attractions.

• In between these clips there will be shots similar to the first shot of the performer in his bed but you see the setting slowly changing, with objects disappearing right until the final shot in which he ends up in a hospital bed. This is when the audience will realize the things he has been doing are things on his bucket list (what he wanted to do before he died). At the end it flashes to a black screen and you will hear a flat line noise. This will add to the tragedy of the video.

USP (Styling)• There will not really be much of a style for our artist during the

performance aspect as he will be in bed, therefore a lot of his body is not visible. He will be wearing black pyjamas.

• Throughout the events he will be doing he will wear appropriate attire for each of the activities. (Ski Goggles etc.) We will also try to make these clothes as black as possible.

• The USP of the artist will be his black clothing because it foreshadows his death. It also reflects the tragedy of this song. He would also have a locket that contains a picture of his family. His hair will be scruffy as well which is quite unique as many artists look for the clean appearance.
