ebi- not much to say about SHEP


Page 6;

www- good knowledge of the topic and relevant information
ebi- can include a lot of issues and debates and how they've influenced change in hip hop music videos

Bibliography;

www- good amount of research and sources are relevant to the issue of your critical investigation
ebi- need tp check the format of the bibliography (punctuation, titles, authors are missing).


What I plan to change in my second draft:
  • Fix punctuation errors on p.1 and throughout the essay
  • Make the bibliography layout consistent i.e brackets, initials etc
  • Include wider contextual analysis e.g.drug use  in America
  • Include more academic quotes 
  • Include ideally more books mentioned throughout the essay

MEST4 Preliminary exercise: Evaluation

1) Why did you choose this particular recreation and how does it link to your main production?


because the video is fast paced as the lyrics are more faster than average songs. This will help with my linked production as I'm going to apply  this same technique.


2) What difficulties did you face in producing this recreation?


The difficulties were the lighting as i needed to make it exact same to the actual music video and also making it look the exact same.


3) What are the strengths of the production?


The visual effects in my opinion were my strength as it gave my production more of a life as the optical flares made it more interesting.


4) What aspects would you look to improve?


Since the camera i was using had bad focus pull it couldn't capture focus points properly since i was moving a lot in the video so next time i would take this into consideration perhaps use a better camera.


5) What lessons will you take from this process that will help you with your main production?


Time management and also being more prepared with production value/equipment.


6) Now that you are ready to start your actual linked production, explain clearly what you will be creating and how confident you are in delivering this.


I will be creating a music video with a totally different style i am confident by creating this piece as i have planned it for a while now e.g vfx techniques effect heavy and more visuals and other music video techniques that i can execute.

Script Drake-Forever


                                                                                  Eminem]   
                                              There they go, packing stadiums as Shady spits his flow
                                                Nuts they go, macadamian they go so ballistic, whoa
He can make them look like Bozos
He's wondering if he should spit this slow
Fuck no! Go for broke
His cup just runneth over, oh no
He ain't had him a buzz like this since the last time that he overdosed
They've been waiting patiently for Pinocchio to poke his nose
Back into the game and they know
Rap will never be the same as before
Bashing in the brains of these hoes
And establishing the name as he goes
The passion and the flame is ignited
You can't put it out once we light it
This shit is exactly what the fuck that I'm talking about when we riot
You dealing with a few true villains
Who stand inside of a booth truth spilling
And spit true feelings, until our tooth fillings come flying up out of our mouths
Now rewind it!
Pay back motherfucker for the way that you got at me how's it taste?
When I slap the taste out your mouth with the bass so loud that it shakes the place
I'm Hannibal Lecter so just in case you're thinking of saving face
You ain't gonna have no face to save by the time I'm through with this place
So Drake
