Institutions That Might Distribute My Video


JHO is my first option,
JHO is quite a popular companie with my selected genre of music. The have signed the following well know Artists Pendulum, Chase & Status, Noisia and Subfocus.



EMI is my second Option,
EMI is the worlds 4th largest signing company. They have Professor Green under their name which is why I think they are also a possibility.



Virgin Records is my third option,
I know that Virgin records would be quite a safe bet. The have alot of well know Artisits such as The Gorillaz, Daft Punk, Chiddy Bang and many more.


I have come to the conclusion that my first option (JHO) is probably the safest bet. The company is realtively small so they would be likely to focus on my video more than the other companies which have so many other signings etc.


Specific Shots

I make hitz, not the public
I tell the DJ what to play! Understand?

I make hitz, not the public
I tell the DJ what to play! Understand?
We used to do

Baa baa black sheep, rock star, rap G
Make enough dough to own a black card, that's deep
I've been getting really fucking friendly with the banks man
And I don't mean Phil card or Hilary ya asking
Pappz hook me up in the vicinity and flash me
I'm the definition of definitive and catchy
The only thing that's bigger, quicker, slicker
More black up and more up in London is a taxi

Bitch I'm so sick, I need a mother fucking vaccine
Pick your ring style like some other fucking fast weed
Centre of attention like a bank and a love son
Hey Steevie reaching for a flat screen
The only ever time I see you niggers on kisses is like 2am or when you go to pucker up
Look 60 GM4 you need to buckle up
Or my women so zoo or my women so nuts

So what and uncut and no fucking edits
She won't even get a high if she made no fucking effort
And all you silly singers and you ring tone rappers
Like school dinner curries
Don't fucking get it

McCar is a lessa
Got a yard river terrace
She called me chauvinistic
But can't even spell it
I don't wanna hear another nigga say your fly
If you a'int never been on business class under M

It's I'm a racket
I pretend I'm Dennis, I'm a menace
Call me Rob Patterson
Got a lot of niggas jealous
I'm a mental, minted, a can of Dr Pepper
That's a tick, tick, tick, tick, boom to you fellas

It's so important that your mighty Nigella
A'int listening if her name a'int Remi or stella
Got a big bag of chips and Mary Poppin's umbrella
Cause we're 'bout to rain on them like London weather


For the First paragraph I think I would have an establishing shot of the scenery and my main actor as well. I may do something similar to what chase and status do with theirs.

The third paragraph i will ask one of my actors to do some tricks on his bike. I think this will be quite appropriate as i fund out through most of my research that these kind of videos have a lot of bikes involved. I will do quite alot of qucik editing. probably have some shots of friends talking etc. Also have some shots of people driving. Again this fits well into the genre.

I will be likely to have shots inside clubs or bars. I can do this when i go home in half term. I think it would be quite cool to have shots from places like that. Maybe take a shot of going through a town at night, play in in fast motion to catch all of the lights and excitment going on.

I will probably have a couple of shots of one of the actors in the recording studio at school when Tinie Tempah is singing.

"Tick,Tick,Tick, boom to you fellas" - I think that this is quite an important line and im sure i could add something quite imaganative to this.






Here are some example shots of what i will be aiming for.

Understanding Young Audiences:
Bellow i have gathered information from websites about young audiences and why pop videos are aimed at them. 

Channel 4 commissioned research agencies Dipsticks and Sherbert to carry out research to better understand 11-19 year olds.

The downloadable slides present the results of 1,800 online interviews conducted among a representative sample of 11-19 year olds with additional insights from qualitative research on 10-13 year olds. The quantitative research focused on finance, money and media repertoire whilst the qualitative study centered on information and inspiration, mind matters and trends and talking points.

Top line info


  • Females are significantly more likely to spend money on clothes and socialising whereas males are more likely to spend on gadgets and computer games.
  • Males are significantly more likely to be engaging with online activity.
  • BBC1 and E4 are the two most popular channels for 14-19 year olds.
  • iPlayer and 4oD are the most popular TV services for watching/downloading programmes on demand.
  • Future financial stability and job prospects were a worry for all, even the younger age groups, triggered by the current economic climate.
  • Cyber bullying and issues of cyber safety were big concerns for girls.
  • Boys were particularly concerned about personal hygiene.

    My Perfect Audience Member

    I visited the website of both UKtribes and Findyoutribe. My results from these are as follows :
    I took the Find you tribe test and got Rah.
    The results that i found on UK Tribes are that the audience members suited for my video are
    both Ravers and Trackies. This is because they fit into the Chase and Status video well
    and are also about the kind of music involved.

    The picture bellow represents the Audience members :


    What I found surprising was the contrast between Rahs, Ravers and Trackies but according to my selected music video the all come together in a strange kind of mix and this is what the look like (see above).

    Audience Research

    Everybody has a different taste in Music to each other. In this day and ages there are some many different genres ranging from Classical to Dubstep. A lot of people will not just listen to one genre of music but instead a few. Personally I like to listen to House,Hip-Hop, and a bit of easy listening now and then such a James Blunt or Coldplay and even some relaxing Reggae.

    People who listen to their own specific genres of music usually relate to how the are in real life. Such as somebody who listens to "Death Metal" will usually be dress like a Goth or even a Emo. Other people who listen to House.Electro,Club,Dance etc will usually be somebody who likes to go out and part, have a good time or you get the people who like to chill with their friends and listen to Reggae.

    People tend to watch the music video because it might bring back memories. People usually watch the video because they enjoy seeing a storyline to the song they are listening to or they want to relate what the are hearing to something. I personally like to watch music videos because  I like to picture something while listening to it or i just enjoy the storyline.
