Change of Plan

On February 22nd we as a group decided to reassess our Music Video plot as we saw difficulties in how we would have filmed the complete story. We decided to follow a different path which would allow us to incorporate post modernism throughout the music video to make it more evident and help the audience to understand that message that we are trying to convey.
Our story has changed from the original synopsis which was quite a serious music video to a comedic music video which pokes fun at the Hip Hop community and jokingly plays on the stereotypical scenarios which consistently appear in music video from the start of the Hip Hop genre to today as we know it.
We feel that this would be the easier route to take as we considered all attributes of the group as well as the resources available to us and decided that neither of us are strong actors and neither of us have the resources to try and convey the image that we are ‘filthy rich’ so we decided to mock the whole concept of the song “we’re Rollin’” and decide to act like we are rich by showing off cheap and worthless goods. We will not only take jabs at the Hip Hop scene but also the R’n’B by having a mock dance scene. We cannot change the lyrics of the song to increase the amount of post modernism but we can adapt the scenes and mimic other similar videos to the point where the audience understand that we are poking fun at them specific groups such as, B2K, 50 Cent, The Game and other various artists and groups.
