Preparation for ancillary tasks 1. How celebrities promote themselves

The most common way in my eyes for musicians to promote themselves is through contraversy, the more different they are the more noticable they are. A good example of someone different from any others is Lady Gaga, the way she has the most crazy music videos and strangest outfits, she gets alot of attention and promotes herself in that way, she also calls her fans 'monsters' which is a way of making her audience feel special and as a result, more people want to  be her fans.

Many musicians have a view on promoting themselves as 'any publicity is good publicity' which is true in many cases, such as Amy Winehouse who had the image of being a junkie and an alcoholic, but it made her famous, she used it to promote herself, she even made songs about it, such as Rehab which is probably her most famous song.

Rappers mostly promote themselves through finding more specific target groups as the only people that will like them are young people seeing as their way of getting fans is though aspirational lifestyle, mostly young people will like to see how they live, the also promote themselves through having a laid back view on life. Many will like them for the way they obviously break the law by smoking marihuana, even on camera, many will also be fans of their 'rastafari lifestyle' the most famous for using this sort of publicity is probably Bob Marley, but there are many other using the same way of promoting themselves such as Lil Wayne.

Editing process

Draft

MEDIA WORK 2 (small) from Brage Krogsrud on Vimeo.

20. Props and costumes

Towards the end of the video he will be wearing expensive accessories such as Patek Phillipe or Rolex watches, golden rings and driving a BMW 7-series.

The teachers will be using a suit like shown underneath.

We will be using some paper and books to show that Tinie is reading and learning, also to use as the tests he will be given.

Tinie will be wearing clothes like shown underneath to show the audience the way in which the main actor is a gangster, these clothes are quite stereotypical for RnB videos.

19. Casting shots

Gbemiga Laminakra from G-House is the most suitable for Tinie Tempah as he has alot of experience with music videos from before, especially rapping as he has a past of doing his own rap songs, he is also african which makes him looks more suitable for the main character in an RnB music video.

Thomas from Altyre will be playing a role in the film, probably as a teacher or a doctor as he has the look of quite a straight forward guy.

Kaylin Cowie from Windmill will be playing the role of Ellie as she has experience with music video as she does media herself and played a part in her music video aswell.

18. Location shots

All of the locations that will be used in the film are not on this list as we dont not have access

 to all of the places at the moment.

This location will be used all the way throughout the film as a location for Tinie to be rapping with Ellie.

This location will be used for Tinie to come out of celebrating when he gets good results in his test.

We will be using several locations much like this one to film Tinie walking, in the beginning he will look sad and eventually he will be more enthusiastic.

This location will be used close to the end of the video as the main character has finally reached his goal of getting a record deal, he willl be recording a song in this shot, he will be singing hte song we are using for our coursework using lip sync.

17. Shot list

Our video starts off with a mid shot of Tinie rapping, followed by a close up on his face, our video will mainly take place in three locations, outside where Tinie will be walking and rapping, in classrooms, where Tinie will be getting grades and on a big open field where Tinie and Ellie will be singing.
