My Block
I filmed today- some of the group scene with a group of boys who had agreed to be in my video acting as 'the gang'. Along with my cousin. It was difficult organising a group of boys on my own, directing and trying to get them to take it seriously. We brought along props such as a baseball bat and bandanas to represent the 'thuggish' stereotype of youth. I also made sure my cousin had the correct outfit which was a hoody- linking him to the youth, but a personalised bright one to signify him as the artist. This also fits into the genre as rap artist are normally quite boastful/ show offs and would have their name on their top etc.
