Statement of Intent
Mohammed Samir Ali
In my music video, there will be strong connotations of a hip-hop music video but I will subvert it to make
the music video suitable. The video will be a narrative and the links with a hip-hop will be the idea of
being successful in life and boasting. However, I will subvert it, as my music video will be a love triangle
with two best friends. Some aspects will be stereotypical such as the male gaze within the video and
men impressing woman. Also I will include counter stereotypes in rags to riches story where both friends
became successful. In my video I will include a representation of different genders and race to make the
video have a degree of diversity.
My video is targeting an age range between 16-25 and the socio-economic group AB, include these
representations within my video by having my actors wearing smart/casual attire to appeal to both young
and sophisticated audiences, the location of my shoots would be more urbanised so it relates to a
younger audience. The actual actors will be young themselves so the audience are able to relate. My
video are also subverts from some public representations that suggest that the youth are troublesome.
This subverts as a video as it shows the youth becoming more successful in life. I’m targeting both male
and female audience. I’m targeting the aspirer as this applies to the AB group and it ties in with the
narrative.
I will use different editing techniques within my video; I plan to use high key lighting and high levels of
saturation to represent the flashbacks. Also, I will use fade to black at the end. My video will have to be 3
minutes long. The video will be uploaded to YouTube and dimensions are compliant to the website.

For my webpage, I plan to promote the artist of the music video. I plan to create a logo to represent the
artist and place within the webpage. The title will be the artist’s name. As well I plan to have different
navigation pages to make it accessible for audiences, it will allow less congestion within pages. In my
webpage I will include different information about the song and artist. I will use high key lighting as well
as including gender-neutral colours so it appeals to both genders. I will use a font that will appeal to the
youthful audience an example of that font would be Helvetica.

I intend to link the two media products by using high key lighting and high levels of saturation within my
video and webpage to show a clear link, this will indicate the youthfulness throughout my products. As
well I will include titles within the webpage, similar to my music videos. In my webpage, I will include an
embedded link to watch the music video to give it easy access, also I will include a link to the website on
the description when I upload the video to YouTube to give audiences a site to go to. Through these links
it will accentuate high levels of intertextuality that are included through my two media products.
