record label company research

mood board of existing album covers

To gain understanding of the types of different artist who are similar to our artist Giggs, other rap and grime artists who have incorporated blends of hip hop or grime into their music, we have put a mood board together of existing album covers. By this we can see themes and continuing trends that will be beneficial when we put are our own promotional package together.

Genre

A key part of our project is the focus on genre of our music video. What will be the main factor of our project is the knowledge of codes and conventions of existing media products from the same genre(hip-hop/grime) as my group has chosen. We havent just been asked to consider the codes and conventions but we have been asked to challenge them. To understand these conventions i will analyse existing music videos of the same genre.

Possible songs and genre 1

UK Grime
Hip-Hop

Possibles song:
Giggs ft B.O.B- Dont Go there

Possible Location For Shot: St Pauls, St Marks, Fishponds, Easton

Target Audience

An important part of our research and planning is to look at the target audience and analyse it. To find out about our audiences attitude to music videos and different types of genres in general, we will produce a questionnaire for people to fill in and let us know their views. In the questionnaire we will ask our audience what they like to see in grime/hip-hop music video and what they like to get out of music videos. The target audience for this genre of music is typical for teenagers and young adults we will ask this demographics of people.

Me and my group have decided to do produce a music video, the genre of the music will be Hip-Hop/ UK Grime.
