Filming Ideas
For the storyline of my music video I want to keep to the idea of the main character 'running late' I will do this with long shots of streets.
Location shots will be key in my video to set the scene.
I will use direct lip syncing shots to camera with my model, I will do this in a studio so that I can get good lighting and can add video effects to these shots, so that I am sticking to the traditional values of a music video rather than making my video story based.
I will do some filming with my model and friends, like in the official video, for these scenes I will use close ups and look at different camera angles.
Rinse FM
"London's biggest 'pirate' radio station to bring dubstep, UK funky and other new urban sounds into the mainstream"
Rinse FM was formally London's biggest pirate radio station which has recently gone legit. It was first formed by 16 year old DJ Geeneus 'G' when he broadcasted his first pirate radio how from a tower block in Tower Hamlets, East London.
With decks and mixer balancing precariously on top of a homemade transmitter jammed between the sink and the cooker of his friend's 18th floor flat, Geeneus leant out of the window, pointed his aerial towards Hackney – and turned the music up loud.
Sixteen years, countless rooftop broadcasts and dozens of brushes with the law later, Rinse FM, often called the most influential pirate station on air and credited with bringing artists such as Dizzee Rascal and grime star Wileyto the public consciousness, is finally going legit, to the slightly bemused delight of its 32-year-old founder. "Getting the licence gave me the strangest feelings. Nothing don't faze me ... but that did," he said.
As well as running successful club nights in London, the station also has a label that has just seen artist Katy B make it into the top five of the UK charts. Her track On A Mission has been viewed more than 2.7m times on YouTube.
About Katy B
Kathleen "Katie" Brien, better known as Katy B, born in 1989, is an English singer-songwriter and a graduate of the BRIT School. She is a Dubstep, R&B, funky, house and UK Garage singer and has also performed under the name Baby Katy. She was born in Peckham, South London.

The same year, she completed a degree in Popular Music at Goldsmiths, University of London.

BIG CHANGE
I have as of this week started from the beginning on a new music video, as my group has unfortunately fallen apart. With one of the girls dropping the course and the others attendance being difficult for me to work with I have decided I am going to work on my own and start a new song to produce a video for. This will be a challenge for me as I have little time to complete the task but I am determined to do it and do it to a high quality.
The song I have chosen is Katy B - Louder
The genre of this song is very different to the song I was previously working on yet I feel this genre would be more enjoyable to work with and will allow me to explore various editing techniques for a high quality final product.
