The Pharcyde - Drop
The Pharcyde were a bunch one of the first and most original alternative hip-hop artists. This video was produced by Spike Jonze and the video is the group performing the song backwards and the beat and the visuals merge to making a surrealistic and unique feel. This method is used and created in many alternative hip hop videos now, however all based on technology. This song is one of my favourites due to it being something that the hip-hop world had not been opened to until The Pharcyde. The group actually performed the entire song backwards in which they needed to be trained by language experts. Enjoy 'Drop'.
Contingency Plan
Cast Dropping Out/Unreliable Cast:
If actors do not show up on set, we will use members of the crew (the group) to replace the characters that have not shown up. This means majority of the primary characters are replaceable. Also, we have willing actors ready to step forward to play the role of the woodland tea party creatures.
Crew Not Showing Up/Being Late
Because we are the crew, one member's role may alternate on the day if one member of the crew is unable to or simply doesn't show up.
Location Becoming Unavailable: Too Noisy/Too Crowded/Closed-Off
Because our location choices are quite generic and can be shot at various different locations, for instance, if we are unable to film at Clapham Junction Tube Station, we can film at another tube station or film at Clapham at a less busier time.
Camera Battery Running Out
We will always carry at least one spare and full battery pack on our person, so if one battery does finish, we always have one in reserve.

Calendar
By having a calendar we all can access, it allows us all to plan when and where we will be filming, which helps us manage our time and prevents misunderstanding within the groups on dates and times.

Childish Gambino - 3005
This is the actual 3005 video that was release this week. It is entirely a performance music video, which is something Gambino fans will be often expectant of as he makes many videos in which he performs. This alters from the lyric video completely, as there is actually no correlation to the lyrics in this video.
Childish Gambino - 3005 (Lyric Video)
Before Childish Gambino's release of 'Because The Internet', and drop of 3005. he made a lyric video. The video featured Abella Anderson who was a former porn star, the whole hype around this video was based on 'how far Gambino would get' over a messenger. Many people were intrigued to how this would end as this is not a usual lyric video (comparing it to Katy Perry's Roar lyric video), which was a way of Gambino creating publicity about his song but also his expected album. Gambino also did loads of interviews about writing the actual song, in one he said:
"Everybody's like, 'It's a love song,'" Gambino said. "It's kind of an existential thing. I'm just really scared of being alone. When I was little, there was a big dog down the street. I was really scared of it. But when I was with my sister, when I knew I had to protect her, I wasn't afraid of the dog as much because somebody was there. I had a purpose...I kind of feel lost. I kind of lost that, I feel."
As a pop star loads of fans will want to know more about Gambino's inspiration etc and by telling these stories it allows him to become more 'human' as people can relate, which is considered in Goodwin's Star Theory

❄ The M&S Christmas TV Advert 2013 ❄
The current M&S Christmas advert is based on various stories, including Alice in Wonderland which is helpful for us because we can take inspiration from the filming (of her falling), setting, props, costume etc.
Filming Dexter
We organised to film the part of Dexter and the passing of the tab on Friday 13th December, by arranging dates in advance it allows us all to make sure we will be available and again helps us to manage our time.
Storyboard
This is our storyboard, as evident we created it with forty frames, which allows us to have a basis and foundation to work upon on what kind of shots we want and in what order. This means that when we go to filming we are not going into it with a blank canvas, we know roughly what we need to film which helps our time management.

Vox Pops
We filmed this Vox Pop in order to gather information about what kind of music was popular amongst people of a certain age. We could gather from this that hip-hop and rap which fits slightly with out genre as alternative hip hop often has qualities taken from typical hip hop music. It also showed us that music videos are often a major part in promotion of an artist. Along with platforms of people viewing music videos.
