Location.

I have thought long and hard about where i want to film my video. As the genre is nritish hip hop it needs to be a run down area of the country, it should be in London as that is the area the rapper is from. Therefore i need to create the image that the video is filmed in london.

To do this i need to create an illusion, by filming an establishing shot of a tall block of flats which are very common in london and are normally assosiated with the capital city. The nearest tall block of flats i know of are in southampton where i will go to and film this establishing shot.

By having this shot to start the video the audience will assume that the rest of the video is filmed around those flats.





I will not however be filming the rest of the video at the flats in southampton as it is such a long way to go if i get back and find i made a mistake on a shot or i want to have another shot in the video, therefore i want to film the rest of the shot in dark locations around bournmouth and christchurch in the underpasses and some of the dirtier areas i know of.



This photo is not from a flat block and may not even be from London but the audience will no know this and therefore the illusion that it is in the block of flats in London is complete.

I will also need to have a recording studio that can easily be done in a normal classroom or a room in my house.




 This is american rapper Eminem in his video for "no love". As you can see the shot is of him recording and you assume he is in a recording studio but for all we know he could be anywhere.
