Costume- My actors will wear quite baggy hoodies , trousers and baseball caps because they are a key convention of the hip hop genre which is the genre of the song in my music video. It gives it that old school hip hop feel that i am aiming for and that it is a more street style representing the street culture of black people.
Lighting- I will shoot one scene in the classroom in daylight trying to use a sunlight as a direct lighting to set the mood for the achieving student and i will shoot the other scene with the other two actors when the policeman stops the actor in the night and use street lights to create more suspense and give it that eery and ominous effect effect that i am aiming for. On the teacher i will use a artificial light, flash and maybe a bit more spotlight to make the teacher stand out from the student and the audience can focus on the praise the teachers give out to the overachieving student.
Actors/performers- I will have Faisa as the overachieving student in the classroom and will use closeup to make her appear as quite smothered with praise and applaud and the teacher will be Mr apll whereas my other actor, i will feature a wide shot to make the actor appear more isolate and alone in the science to convey the message to the audience that this is a representation of the actors isolation from society due to being an individual of colour. This wide shot also allows the actor to move more quickly and have more space to escape from the policeman which develops the narrative of my video better.
Make-up- I will use a red and brown paint to make it look like the actor in the street has a bruise to match the general identity of a black individual involved in gangs and crime in the UK. I will also use makeup on the student such as concealer t make her look more primp and proper to match up to the title of an overachieving student.
Props- A backpack for the actor in the street which the police will initially think is what he is carrying drugs in and a test paper for the overachieving student , a pen and a police hat for the policeman .
Setting-One scene will be shot in Mr Palls class , the one on the street will be shot in front of Southall park because it is a more secluded area.
I will first use a long shot to make the slow mo effect of the classroom more effective , i will then use a closeup of the teachers facial expression and and the exam paper , i will then use panning movement between the teacher and the student to show their facial expressions of happiness. My next shot will be the actor in the street and i will user wide shot to portray their isolation ad how estranged (Paul Girloy) they are form the community. It will switch back to the student walking in the hallway i will use and over the shoulder shot as they are walking so the audience is looking at the video from the students perspective . I will also then switch back to the actor in the street and use a closeup of the policeman and use a panning movement between the two and low angle for the policeman and high angle for the actor in the street to represent the hierarchical structure between the two where the policeman has more power thus making the encounter between the two more understanding to the audience
