Pros and Cons of song choices

These are the 3 songs that we chose when thinking what song to do for our A Level music video.

When looking at these songs, we all liked them but had to only do one and understood that there could be some problems when coming to film some of them so here are our pros and cons for the 3 songs that we chose.

Chance the rapper-Angles

PROS

• It is an upbeat song that many people would enjoy and like to listen to.
• Respected rapper that many people know 
• Isn't signed to a label.

CONS

• We Realised that after watching the video that he did himself, it was going to be pretty hard to beat as it was so good.
• not everyone in our group thought that the song was that good to do.

Tyler the Creator-Bastard

PROS

• Very good song that people don't know much about
• the lyrics are worded very well
• hes a lyrical genius

CONS

• Has some very rude words in the song 
• He is signed to a label but also to himself.
• Its hard to get an idea of how to film the video because he hasn't released one himself.

Tyler the creator-Yonkers 

PROS

• We all liked the song 
• We all had good ideas of how we could film the video
• Good beat to it
• We had the right props and people for the video to make it look legit.

CONS

• Has a lot of swearing in the song
• May have to sensor some of the words 
• People who don't get the meaning of the song may think its awful

Audience Research

The feedback for our draft was positive.
However, there are some points we could improve on such as a variety of shot types an more distance when filming.
They also said that there needs to be more props being used because we haven't used many yet.
Lastly. they want to see more flashes of colour.

YONKERS - VERSE 1 & 2 DRAFT (UPDATED)

ALBUM DESIGN (Inside Cover, Left Hand Side)

This is my design for the inside cover. 'OFWGKTA' (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All), is the group the artist is a part of comprising of other rappers of his nature. The hand-written font, along with the dull black & white colour scheme illustrates the meaning of the album very narrowly.  Tyler, trying to be the 'good-natured' person he is, cannot stand how society is evolving with meaningless and senseless music from over rated artists. This extract brings out his inner alter-ego which he has very little control over.

Away from the music itself, Tyler tries to brandish himself as a jokey character but with real meaning. Much of his lyrics aren't meant to be seen as serious, but the meaning behind some of his lines are true to him.

The inside of the cover is simple but understandable and relates to the entirety of the album. The album is meant to represent Tyler, the real person he is, not the person he wants people to believe he actually is...
