Song
Song title Homecoming
Artist Kanye West
Genre Hip Hop/Rap
What are the conventions of music videos from this genre?
There are many low angled and close up shots in hip hop music videos. This implies their power over the audience. They usually have an irrelevantly placed woman next to the audience to show that they are desired by the opposite gender. A lot of the time there is a crowd dancing or moving to the beat. This shows that the crowd like the song. This gives them more credibility because it shows that crowd like the song so its more likely that the audience will like the song. They usually wear sport clothes to signify strength and lots of money and chains are in it to imply wealth
How are you going to meet these conventions in your video?
Style (in-concert and as live footage; animation (stop motion, digital); interpretative; narrative; impressionist; surrealist; pastiche; parody; referencing; homage)
My music video is going to have a little narrative to it
It is going to be about someone who left their hometown to pursue their dream coming back and paying a visit. He arranges to meet up with the
Costume The costumes are going to be everyday clothes because it is set in todays time. So they are just going to wear casual clothes like genes, t-shirts and jumpers.
Lighting The majority of the lights used will be natural light & the setting will be a sunny day so there will be bright light. However, for the dancing section of the music video I will be using artificial light in my dance academy. I will use white light during this part of the video
Locations I am using 3 different locations. The first location is Henley because this is going to be the town the character grew up in and he is coming back to visit. The second location is the creative media studio. I used this because I will use it to show how the song is being created which
Shot types I am going to use establishing shots quite a lot because I am showing the area the music video is being shot in. This means a lot of scenery will be shown. There will be a POV shot when the character is looking over his home town. This is effective because it puts you in the position of that character. I will also use over the shoulder shot because its about a couple and theyre going to be talking to each other in this video
Research What music videos have you watched to research your genre? I watched the official music video to the song to see what it was like and if I could use any ideas that they used in their music video in mine.
I watched various other hip hop music videos made around the same time the song was made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwCykGDEp7M One of the music videos I watched was Hurt by Christina Aguilera. I watched this because the music video told a story. I watched how they portrayed that story and to see if I could use any of their techniques in my music video.
How have these videos influenced the decisions made? Include screen shots of the key influences
They didnt influence my decisions that much because they mainly didnt portray a similar story I was portraying however I tried to use techniques from those videos.
Lyrics
Insert the song lyrics below
[Intro - Kanye West] Yeah. And you say Chi city Chi city, Chi city [Chorus - Chris Martin] I'm coming home again. Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again I'm in home again. [Verse 1 - Kanye West] I met this girl when I was three years old And what I loved most she had so much soul She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me- but, My name is Windy and, I like to blow trees and, From that point I never blow her off, They can come from outta town I like to show her off, They like to act tough, she like to tow em off, And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding And I told her in my heart is where she always be She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave She said it felt like they walked and drove on me Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me I guess it's why last winter she got so cold on me She said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me [Chorus - Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again I'm in home again Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Oh, now I'm coming home again Maybe we can start again [Verse 2 - Kanye West] But if you really care for her, then you would n-never hit the airport, To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her It always seems like she talking about me, She said you left your kids and they just like you
They wanna rap and make show beats just like you, But they just not you and I just got through Talking bout what she can try to do just not new Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong I guess you never know what you got till its gone I guess this is why I'm here and I cant come back home And guess when I heard that when I was back home Every interview I'm representing you making you proud Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around, And if you don't know by now, I'm talking about Chi Town, [Chorus - Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan Oh, now I'm coming home again I'm in home again Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan Oh, now I'm coming home again Maybe we can start again Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh Coming home again Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh Coming home again Maybe we can start again
Meaning of the song
Does the song have a meaning? If so, what is it?
The meaning I am portraying in my music video is about a man ringing up a girl for a date. He then meets his friend to tell him about the news and he is happy for him. They meet up and everything goes well. This develops into a relationship. They are together grabbing a drink and he leaves to go to the toilet. During that time she checks his phone and sees he has been texting another girl. She is shocked by this and when he comes back she slaps him and walks off. This is the end of their relationship and he leaves town for a while.
