Pitch 2.

Genre/ Song:

Rihanna ft. Drake - Whats my name

[R&B and Hip-hop]

Band/Artist name:

'Lacene ft. Adriano.'  we chose the name Lacene as it has a edgy sound and isn't a popular choice for names; Lacene is a upcoming R&B female artist, and Adriano is a well known rapper who has been in the music industry for a while. He features in this song to assist her in her career and  so that she will be acknowledged by his fans as well, this will boost sales as she will have a wider fan range by working with artists outside of her genre.

Setting(s):

There are many different settings within this idea; however, all settings will have a similar theme- gritty and ghetto- following RnB and hip hop conventions. i.e walls full of graffiti, the streets etc. We are planning to film all scenes in Manchester city centre and picadilly gardens for a fun, youthful edge as Manchester is the place for young students etc.

These are some stills from the original 'Whats my name' video.

    

Camerawork:

For the scenes in the streets, there will be numerous long shots- mid shots and also close ups; a range of shots edited to look fast pace. We will also use a range of mid-shots and close-ups to show facial expressions and emotions. Tracking shots will be used to follow Lacene and Aidriano walking/ dancing around the streets.

Editing:

The editing will consist of bright lighting; changing the contrast on numerous occasions and fading in and out of different scenes.

[Rihanna]Ooh na na, what’s my name?

[Drake]Yeah I heard you good with them soft lips

Good weed, white wine, I come alive in the night time 
Okay, away we goOnly thing we have on is the radio
Ooooh, let it play, say you gotta leave 
But I know you wanna stay
You just waiting on the traffic jam to finish girl
The things that we could do in twenty minutes girl
Say my name, say my name Wear it out,

I can get you through a mighty long day
Soon as u go the text that i write is gon say…
