  • reflect the ideologies and views represented is popular underground music

Length/size of production (e.g. 3 minutes, 5 pages etc.):

Give an example of an existing media text this is similar to what you plan to produce:

  • MTV
  • 4 music 
How would your production reach its audience?
  • Youtube 
  • TV such as 4music, MTV, Flava
  • Targeted at young individuals therefore an online distribution is more effective than tv distribution.
Who do you plan to work with on this project?
  • Harmony- Harmony is doing the representation of youth, and grime music is mostly associated with youths. We are going to show the main ideologies, domiante representations of youth culture, through the mise en scene, setting,( alcohols, parties, large groups) 
  • Fasih- Fasih's investigation links in as he is analysing grime music, and the main track for the music video is categorised as grime.
  • My critical investigation links in as I am doing the representation of black people, and we will emphasises this by showing the dominate representation associated with black youths. (drugs, attire, and the area they live in).

Research

~Skepta- shut down
  • we are going to use his performance skills
  • the aggression and the way he moves (when rapping)
  • also the attire and the lighting will be similar to Skeptas shut down

~Lil wayne- how to love
  • although this is hip hop music video
  • we are going to use how he tells the narrative 
  • and the transition to and from the narrative
~ Lil Boosie- calling me 
  • we are going to use his transitions in different settings 
  • and how he use the lyrics in the song as dialogue 
  • also the humour, by using youth culture to make a joke

Script 

Lyrics to Nines - Yay
[Intro]
[Hook: Tigger da Author]
I know her young and she grew up all alone(oh no)
Had the money so she had to earn her own (oh no)
And she never had no angel on her shoulder (shoulder)
Even though everybody want her , she don't

[Chorus: Tigger da Author]
She fell in love with the yay
Fell in love with the snow
Fell in love with the yay
Fell in love with a blow
She fell in love with the yay
Fell in love with the snow
She fell in love with the yay
Now she can't let go

[Verse1:Nines]
It's been a while since I seen her smile
I was thinking why, I hope she knows it's a nigga style
Cah I liked her from school days, felt embarrassed to move to her
Cah its 2015 and I still move haze
She wasn't what I thought
Most things she could've bought
When her squares came through
But all she wanna do is snort
All this money got her acting greedier
She anti-social , but she’s always on her social media
Showing off her new shoes , and Italian cloth
Snapchat her whole life’s a reality show
When she's in trouble that's the only time she prays
She just want to buy more yay , she's high all day
Every weekend , always partying with the wrong crowd
Used to be quiet , now she gone loud
Always got a new set of friends
Knows niggas are from every ends
And she don’t mess with guys with corsas
You need to get a benz

[Hook: Tigger da Author]
I know a youngen and she grew up all alone(oh no)
Had the money so she had to earn her own(oh no)
And she never had an angel on her shoulder(shoulder)
Even though everybody want her , she don't

[Chorus: Tigger da Author]
She fell in love with the yay
Fell in love with the snow
Fell in love with the yay
Fell in love with a blow
She fell in love with the yay
Fell in love with the snow
She fell in love with the yay
Now she can't let go

[Verse2:Nines]
To the stars is where she said she was going
Should be in uni instead of hoeing
Probably calm down when her belly’s growing
She starts acting moody when she needs a gram
Always crave attention probably why she can't keep a man
She still look pretty when I seen her
To me she's a queen , but a nitty to a dealer
She said she never trust a guy so I must be high
Thinking I can turn a caterpillar to a butterfly
She used to have big dreams
But gave em up by the time she turned 16
She needs to get away run away like mary j
Even when she had job she still sniffs everyday
Hollas her sugar daddy when her purse is low
Reminds me of a story brook she curse for snow
Just a story about a young who run away
That fell in love with the yay
