I think in this idea it has to start off with a smoky room
with red lights and close ups of strippers. It would cut back continuesly to
the people who are singing the song. The narrative of the song would show what
was happening on the screen. For instance, when it says ‘I took one girl
outside with me, her name was Londie, she went to junior high with me’ you will
see him leading one of the strippers outside.
When they start speaking in the song, like when Londie goes
‘What would you do if your son was at home crying all alone on the bedroom
floor’ it will be a cross between a close up of her face saying it and then
cutting to a close up of her sons face also crying. The music video would be
following this stripers life and the reasons behind what she is doing.
City high are a ‘street band’ who rap and sing about true
stories. They appeal to quite a young audience, around ages 13-21. They are soulful
and try to put across the younger generations struggles in life.
City High don't have a fan site as they are quite a low key, yet well known band. They aren't the kind of band who would get payed millions of pounds to perform somewhere. This makes them come across as quite ordinary and reachable. You can see in the photo above that they are all dressed down in quite normal outfits and aren't showing off any designer clothes or accessories.
This is competent, Beth, and you have provided three promising concepts. You need to develop your research further to demonstrate your understanding of how the image of your artists is constructed. The research is rather limited and doesn't really offer enough examples to make the star image clear. I would like you to go back and develop the research further as part of next week's prep.
