Music Video's we looked at

We looked at many music video's we believe would be similar to what we wanted to create. Firstly, the artist had to be a Rapper/Hip-Hop artist, so it was essential to find someone who fits our main artist, Carlo Gambino. The music video wasn't going to be your average rap video, so it had to have a soft romantic touch.

Personally, my favourite video and the one I believed was the closest to what I had pictured mentally was Angel - The World. The music video is very touching and romantic, as well as creative and had a bit of flair to it.

Texts between me and Jerome Blake - Time keeping and link up for video recordings

Me and Jerome would text each other when we wanted to record, where to meet and what we wanted done when we was free and available. As you can see, we continuously text one another in order for everything to run smoothly and that is exactly what we happened.

Location analysis

 The reason why we used this location in Crystal Palace Park is because we wanted to get the similarities it has with the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Paris is known as the Romance Capital of the world and we wanted to embrace that image, seeing as our music video is pretty romantic.

 We used the lake for time of reflection and reminiscence. Often you that when couples spend time together and reflect over things, it suits best near a canal or river to really enhance the romantic subject and the feel of it all.

We used the steps in Crystal Palace for our performance scenes seeing as it would go very well with everything else. The scene of the main artist sitting on the steps is really effective and we knew it would be as well.

Photoshoot for the Digipak and Magazine

 This would be the shot we most probably would use on the Digipak cover as it fits our idea and the way we want our cover to look. The Grey Hoody and the Baseball cap fits the genre and the artist very well.

 This image is also very well taken and would again, fit into our music genre and the artist we are trying to promote.

 This picture suits the second artist in the video we are trying to promote. He is meant to have a soft touch with a bit of style, hence why he is posing like that.

Many of these Photo's were just quick snaps and ideas of how we would want our work to come out. After looking at these photo's, we decided on which ones we would want to use in our Digital Package and our Magazine.

Equipment used in the process of making this music video

Audience Feedback via Facebook

Looking at the feedback I received, it was all pretty similar one way or another. A little bit of tweaking and improvement would generally do the job. I received a lot of criticism on the scene where we used a car as the background and it was always something we had to discuss about as a group. With the feedback we received on the car being there, we decided it didn't suit the video at all.
Our feedback definitely gave us an insight on how to improve our music video and that is exactly what we shall be doing in now.

Animatic - I Want You Music Video

This is the animatic preview of our music video and how we would like it to come out in future.

Lyrics and the meaning of it

[Chorus]
Once in love
Strong
Now it's long, long gone
Because the pain, pain, pain
I remain all alone
Because I want you [Repeat: x2]

I been thinking bout
I been thinking bout
I been thinking bout you lately

Thoughts take me to when we were close
Addicted 2 your love, feel I need another dose
I know it's a feeling
That should be long gone

Things seem to come up
When I hear our song
Golden brown girl, it seem so long
Since I heard your voice
Where did the king go wrong?

Emotions that that they linger on
I guess cause I never knew a love so strong
So many hot girls
I need your warm
The taste of your mouth
Girl I need your warm

Good food and love
I need your warm
This here was made before we were born
A dreamer, so I'm a keep dreaming on
It's kinda like the breakup of Jen and Vince Vaughn

[Chorus]

They say you don't know know know 
What you got
Till what u got is gone
Yeah I write such and such yo a lot 
But the feelings not as strong
We were like two birds

That were able to fly
I try to pick the right words to say to the sky
Someday's I would try but wasn't able to cry
I never been good at saying goodbye

I take a deep breath when the times is hard
When I reminisce over u, my god
I spent many years trying to be the heartthrob
I guess it's only right that I got my heart robbed

The scent of a room that reminds me of you
A hint of perfume it remind me of you
Take a look at the moon it remind me of you
Hope the stars and the gods 
Align me and you

The moral of the song is very easy to understand once you listen to it once. 'I want you' is basically what the whole song is about. The artist keeps reminiscing over his ex-lover and what they once had which has clearly been put in the past but he will not let it go that easily. It is a very emotional and deep song simply because he can remember everything they once did together.
