2.  Our male character is inspired By Akon.
Akon is a diverse Hip Pop artist.
 He portrays both looks, gangster look
and formal look, very well and has done
very meaningful songs such as; 'Oh
Africa.' As Akon has done such
meaningful songs it is necessary for
him to keep is his origins and original
look, however, also have a formal and
decent look. Our character will have
both a formal look and a gangster look
as well. Therefore, our character will
follow the conventions of Hip pop also.

3.  Our male character will be the male artist

roles
 Our male Artist is inspired by the main
character in Step Up. He is good looking
appealing and has a sense of masculinity
within him. He stand out from the crowd in
a good way. The male character will also
follow the conventions of Hip Pop.
However, he will wear casual clothing but
different from everyone else. Our male
Artist will be shown in chorus mainly and
he will be wearing casual clothing's in
casual settings.

4.  The female character must be glamorous and different.
 I have looked at couple of stars and have analysed the film
Honey when Jessica walks in to the club, her dress sense is
different to other girls. She’s not wearing typical girly
clothes. However, she is still attractive and based on what
Jessica Alba wore, our main character will be an inspiration
of her in the film Honey.

5.  Female Character- Glamorous but different.
Ages between 20-25.
 Male (rapper artist)- Formal and follows
conventions of Hip Pop. Our male artist must
look between ages of 25-30. Therefore, it's
vital that our rapper has a light beard to show
his masculinity.
 Male character- Smart, Handsome and
different from everyone else in the
club, possibly wearing a suit.

9. Our male artist will wear
a black hooded jacket.
The reason why we have
chosen these kind of
jackets is because it
shows the masculinity of
the artist and allows it to
look big in size.

out both styles, formal
and informal, easily.

10. Our male character will wear a light grey suit and a black tie. The light
grey suit will stand out in the bar and the contrast between a light grey
suit and a black tie makes the suit stand out better. The shoes we had
chosen were dark black with laces, these kind of shoes are very
expensive and are worn in formal places.

13.  Feminism- is the theory of the
political, economic, and social equality of the
sexes.
 Based on this theory and the views of the actual
artist of the song Sunshine, we felt that it is not
fair that female characters are shown as ‘sex
symbols’ in Hip Hop music videos. Therefore, we
have decided to give the female character the
upmost respect an honour by the male
character, we will be conveying this by gestures
shown by the male to the female. Also by the
clothing our female character will be wearing.

14.  We will meet the requirements of our audience
by, making sure that the Hip Hop conventional
features of settings and locations are kept the
same, for example we will using; graffiti
area, bridge, basketball court, bar and expensive
car.
 However, we are not including or promoting any
crime, violence or gender discrimination in our
music video. As we feel that the original artist of
this song, Lupe Fiasco, was against vulgarity and
anti-authority behaviour being shown in Hip Hop
music videos.
