Christ the saviour of the world born in a manger, while in modern day 2010 we have J Cole who many class to be one of the new breds coming out to save Hip-Hop. ‘Who Dat’ a boy from the ends trying to make a name for himself, in an industry that many has called dead.

It brings this hole ‘run down’ ‘this is the streets’ which further adds to the dynamics of the lyrics and the picture the song is trying to create. One thing that I really like about the video is the grittiness that the setting, camera shooting style and even the tint encaptured. The video also appears to have some kind of red tint (probably done within the editing), another feature we plan to use on our video, thought I’m not sure about red being used as the color for the tint. Where the influence from this video come from, is him walking through his town while the camera records him from different angles. New RocNation artist J Cole’s first single from his yet to be announced debut album comes the video entitiled ‘Who Dat.’ The video was shot in one continuous shot (that’s right no take two’s, no pull ups, NO RETAKES) by director BBGun. Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more. These are a few reasons why I found this video both influential and inspiring. There is a part of the video where one of the artists gets out and trades seats with another, which I took it as while on a long ‘road trip’ to stardom as it may, you’ll get tired and the only way to both stay on course and keep moving forward is to allow another member to take the wheel (sign of a good group ay?), there is also a part where you can see another member of the group playing on a beat machine while in the car, which I feel symbolising them saying we on our journey yes, but the only way we going to get there is if we keep working hard. So already we find many influential shots which we can use in our video. Firstly the title of the song is called ‘Dream Chasing,’ the concept for this video worked well in that the whole time the group is in a car.

As I believe each video should not only represent or help visualise the song, but also the artists singing it. There are many things which I enjoyed while watching the video, but out of fear of over elaborating I’ll keep my opinions shortish (notice the ish). Chiddy Bang is a relatively new group alternative hip-hop band. To be honest I’m not sure which brought about the way it looked but straight away I knew a shot like that would have to feature, as it had many elements we wanted to include in our own video.įor me this was probably the video which gave me the biggest influence in regards to car shots. Why I liked this particular car scene had a lot to do with the lighting/colouring/tint. Watching Lil Wayne ‘Bring It Back’ which was released in 2004, brought back so many memories (as that was the year I graduated from High School)…yay me… but yeah back to the topic, while watching this video I noticed a car scene which I felt was pretty influential enough. How I stumbled across this video was a complete accident, but I’m glad I did. The following video’s are just a few in which similar shots have been taken, which we in a sense tried to replicate, but in a manner that looked well with our video concept and shooting style. There is a section in the video we shot, in which we see Hev-n on the passenger side of the car.

In this section we while be focusing on music videos incorporating shots taken in and around a car/moving vehicle.
