Day 3 of Filming (Drake)

We decided to film by the river side in Limehouse as we easily used the light from the buildings as our backdrop.

Drake Storyboard Plan





Recces










Yesterday I carried out some location shots in various locations such as king Edward memorial park, mosaic. I went along to go asses the risks and took a few pictures which was followed by the risk assessment form. This location works well with our music video as there are very bright lights at the back and also it is a public area with no permission needed to film. Here are a view photos of where we hope to film





Music Video Treatment


Drake - From Time Ft Jhene Aiko Lyrics

[Intro: Jhene Aiko]
What's up? Been a minute since we kicked it, you've been caught up
With them bitches, I don't get it, you're a star love
You shouldn't have to deal with that
I'd never make you feel like that, cause...


[Hook: Jhene Aiko]
I love me, I love me enough for the both of us
That's why you trust me, I know you been through more than most of us
So what are you? What are you, what are you so afraid of?
Darling you, you give but you cannot take love


[Verse 1: Drake]
I needed to hear that shit, I hate when you're submissive
Passive aggressive when we're texting, I feel the distance

I look around the peers that surround me, these niggas tripping
I like when money makes a difference but don't make you different
Started realizing a couple places I could take it
I want to get back to when I was that kid in the basement
I want to take it deeper than money, pussy, vacation
And influence a generation that's lacking in patience

I've been dealing with my dad, speaking of lack of patience
Just me and my old man getting back to basics
We've been talking 'bout the future and time that we wasted
When he put that bottle down, girl that nigga's amazing

Well, fuck it, we had a couple Coronas
We might have rolled a white paper, just something to hold us
We even talked about you and our couple of moments
He said we should hash it out like a couple of grown ups

You a flower child, beautiful child, I'm in your zone
Looking like you came from the 70's on your own

My mother is 66 and her favorite line to hit me with is
Who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone?
You don't even know what you want from love anymore

I search for something I'm missing and disappear when I'm bored
But girl, what qualities was I looking for before?
Who you settling for? Who better for you than the boy, huh?

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Drake]
Thinking 'bout Texas, back when Porscha used to work at Treasures
Or further back than that, before I had the Houston leverage
When I got Summer a Michael Kors with my momma's debit
A weak attempt at flexing, I'll never forget it

Cause that night I played her three songs
Then we got to talking 'bout something we disagreed on
Then she start telling me how I'll never be as big as Trey Songz
Boy was she wrong,
 that was just negative energy for me to feed off
Now it's therapeutic blowing money in the Galleria
Or Beverly Center Macy's where I discovered Bria
Landmarks of the muses that inspired the music
When I could tell it was sincere without tryna prove it

The one that I needed was Courtney from Hooters on Peachtree
I've always been feeling like she was the piece to complete me

Now she engaged to be married, what's the rush on commitment?
Know we were going through some shit, name a couple that isn't
Remember our talk in the parking lot at the Ritz
Girl I felt like we had it all planned out, I guess I fucked up the vision
Learning the true consequences of my selfish decisions
When you find out how I'm living, I just hope I'm forgiven

It seem like you don't want this love anymore
I'm acting out in the open, it's hard for you to ignore

But girl, what qualities was I looking for before?
Who you settling for? Who better for you than the boy, huh?

[Hook]

Ideas for Music Video

Music Video Task


We was set a task to create a music video of the song let it go in a group of 3. However we decided to use the acoustic version because it is slower and there's less instruments used which allow the lyrics to be heard more and understood better

Acoustic Version:

.
Our version:




Making this short music feature provided for us a genuine decent feel for the actual music as it allowed us to look at our strengths and weaknesses




  • At the time when making the genuine music video the point will be to have distinctive scenes and diverse outfits and this contrasts to first piece where the music was sung in one spot
  • At the point when making the real music feature i think we would require a bigger scope of shot types to keep the feature intriguing and conceivable to let the viewer see more subtle elements. This feature had predominantly some medium shots and close ups.
