The music video is in
black and white and this
which makes it
mysterious as the music
video is based on horror
films which is why it gives
out a mysterious effect
and makes the audience
think what is going to
happen next
The glow that’s coming out
his eyes make him look
powerful and makes him
look supernatural and this
will attract a young
audience as they will think
that it is “cool” and it will
keep them interested
throughout the music video
In this music video the sky
has been edited to the galaxy
themed which suggests that
he is again super natural and
it keeps the audience
interested in the music video.
The multi-coloured galaxy sky
could attract the audience
because my audience are
quite young and therefore
these colours will catch their
eyes
Here the artist has
been cloned whilst
each clone is fading
away. This will
attract a young
audience because
it’s a trippy effect
and my young
audience will enjoy
this
In this part of the music
video there is a transition
that goes through the
artist eye to the next shot
and this adds another
mysterious and
supernatural effect to the
music video
In this shot it has the line effect which is
common is hip-hop music videos just to make
the video look good and it is inspirational to
my target audience

19. Interview 1
Q) What Makes A Good Hip-Hop Music Video?
A) I think that good visuals make a good music video as it has to be fun to
watch and not boring because if you bore the audience then it isn’t a good
video
Q) Do you think its important to have a narrative?
A) I believe it depends on the song, if the song is a emotional song with a
deep meaning then I think that the music video will be better with a
narrative as it will help the audience understand the song more
compared to if its just a vibe, chilled, fun song then I don’t think it
necessary needs a narrative
Q) What Is your favourite effect to see in music videos

work

21. Interview 2
Q) What Makes A Good Hip-Hop Music Video?
A) I think good editing makes a good music video such as adding in special
effects and just trying to keep the audience interested especially within
in the first couple of seconds of the video as if the video is boring at the
start of the video then they either wont watch until the end of the video
or they won’t be as focused on the video as what they were to begin with
Q) Do you think its important to have a narrative?
A) No I don’t think its important to have a narrative because I think the
audience re more interested in the song and just fun visuals for hip-hop
and not something that goes into to load of detail with a narrative

Lamar’s videos

group that listen to hip-hip music so as they like
music and are fans of the artist they’re likely to watch
the music video. I will also attract my target audience

interest which is quite common to the genre and also
many people can relate to the music.

lot about girls as well as being successful having
power and also having a lot of money. I've made my

25. Research Evaluation
• Give an overview of how you conducted your research. Discuss the
strengths and weaknesses of each method
– Product Research
This helped to think of visual ideas and give me ideas on what I want to include when I
design my products I think I could of improved this by analysing more screenshots of videos
and explain them more
– Questionnaires
The questionnaire gave me a better understanding to peoples attitudes towards hip-hop
and understand my target audience better. I think I could of improved this research by
asking just hip-hop fans and not asking people that don’t know as much as other people
know about the genre
– Interviews
The interviews also helped my to understand peoples thoughts and attitudes
towards hip-hop and helped me think on how I can make my music video
appeal to my audience more and what I can include in my videos
26. Research Evaluation

The responses I got from my survey were good as I was able
to use them and analyse the information and use this
information to understand my target audience better
– How did you distribute your survey? Give an advantage and a disadvantage
When I distributed my survey I sent the link to my friends the
advantage of this is that I know that I'm going to get sensible
feedback that I can use and evaluate however the disadvantage
of this is that is that not all of people that I sent the link too
know as much about hip-hop as other people do.
