Production Log
We now have only a few lyrics that need to be shot for. we should be filming these shots on thursday or friday and by then we would have completed our filming altogether and can begin to start the editing of our footage.
Production Log
Since last updating the production log, our group has done more filming for the opening verses of our music video and more scenes in central London. So far our group has done half the filming for our music video. we are hoping to meet our deadline by working extra hard this week. We have a schedule which will allow us to finish before the deadline if we follow the schedule.
Production Log
During these couple of days we have been doing filming with our new artist. We have done filming in central london and an urban estate. We are planning to do some filming today with our main artist again, if we manage to do this we will be back on track in terms of doing footage we have done with our other artists. We are also planning to go to central london on saturday with our main performer and the main girl in the video.
Production Log
So far, we have complted and uploaded our storyboard, shooting schedule, photos of performers we are considering to use in our muic video. Our group has even complted a presenatation on vidula codes that we want to construct in our music video. In addition, we have completed a 1 st draft of our cd front cover, which we have decided to call wretchorespective. We feel as though this isa good title for wretch 32's debut album. Our group now still has to complete the editing of our vox pop which will be helpful as it will allow us to devolp our editing skills. Our group must also take pictures of our main performer for the ancillary texts and begin some filming in the following weeks.

Revolution of pop music
The revolution of pop properly began after the thriller music video made by Michael Jackson. His was the first video to present music in almost like a film style. This led the way for how music videos, would then be constructed. Other artists like Madonna and Prince also continued to follow this trend leading to a new way of presenting music videos. These big name artists have even influenced modern time music artists like lady gaga, Britney spears and Justin Timberlake. Making music videos in to small films has been successful because it has given audiences another form of entertainment as opposed to just listen to the song. Another reason as to why pop music videos have continued to be successful is that they give audiences a deeper meaning of the lyrics and understand the song better.

Video Plan
Wretch 32 and Haydon actors will perform in front of the green screen doing the performance scene, this is going to be done by us because we have seen performance scenes in a lot of Grime music videos. So for us not to include a performance scene would have meant that our music video does not look properly like a grime music video which is essential in attracting your target audience.
The next part to our video would be wretch 32 properly introducing himself and talking about him and his girl, In this part of the video we want to include some narrative scenes. These narrative scenes would be of wretch 32 and his girl going through minor difficulties, we may even include a love triangle as we feel there are parts in the song where he says there maybe a another invlved in the situation.
The third part to our music video is a performance of Haydon, performing his part of the song. The character Haydon is not going to be included in the narrative scenes because we feel as though this will blur the storyline between wretch 32 and his girrlfriend, we dont want to confuse audiences so we opted out this idea. In the performance scenes we will try to shoot Haydon from a range of angles and use some close ups to engage the audience and withhold their interest. There may also be performance parts where both Haydon and wretch 32 will be together, so that there is some variety to our music video.
The next part of the music will focus back on wretch 32 and his girlfriend we will show them together having a good time in a range of places which we are thinking maybe their neighbourhood, central london, out to dinner, at a funfair and other places where they can enjoy themselves. we will want to show how they have progressed by changung location to more sophisticated places as the scenes move on.
In between the different scenes where wretch32 and his girlfriend are going out we will show Haydon performing the chorus, we will try to make this subtle as we do not want the audience to be put of from the jumps in scenarios. there where also be a combination of performance and narrative towards the end closing the video. Our group wants to also include stop motion or some other technique within our video which we may possibly do in the end if we are able to because we have not thought of how we will do this so far.
