Ben Jones and Chris Akester

The song Mr Rager by Kid Cudi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCLBGY0huVE

Genre The song would come under the rap genre

however it isn’t a typical rap song, it is of a slow pace.

The lyrics to the song talk about a guy (Mr Rager) going off travelling or on an adventure.

However we are not going to do the typical chasing music video but instead our own idea of his adventure.

Conventions

We will use different conventions in our music video. Different shot types such as close ups and long shots so that we can match the visuals and the music together.

The iconography will be similar to the genre on the music. The typical clothing for these videos are street wear which is what clothes we will use for our video.

The location will be on the streets out and about during both the day and night.

Conventions Pt.2

Music and Visuals – We want to cut different shots in time with the music, and if part of the shot has a much faster tempo, we will cut more shots in time.

Close ups – We will have close ups of the main performer throughout the video and of key parts to the song.

Lyrics

"This song is about someone who is fed up with reality, who looks for thrills and excitement by any means. It's just kind of how I was feeling at that point. I was just so angry.

Doing coke revived me, and knowing I was so close to death every time intrigued me. I liked the thought of it.” –

Kid Cudi

Concept

Our music video will be a mix of performance and story, we feel this creates the right mix to all good music videos

The concept its self will be the main actor and a group with him, traveling on his adventure (as those are the lyrics) but his friends don’t realise where he is going until its too late and he ends up committing. (The lyrics in the song talks about his adventure taking him to heaven)

Actors

In out music video we will be having a couple of actors, these include;

Jack Murphy, James Sutton, Harvey Pollock, Dan Riddick

Influences Justin Escalona – Youtuber who does daily vlog’s along with

filming his own music videos.
