KANYE WEST GENERAL ATTIRE

Key Props, costume, appearance and attire for Kanye West Videos -swag, confidence, fresh to death suits, sunglasses. Kanye likes to sell himself as an artist at every opportunity. he has a unique style and tends to fashion all the latest season trends straight from the catwalk.

Our Kanye West impersonator, must have a least two of the elements that make up Mr West, e.g swag and confidence and correct attire e.g suglasses or footwear.






Rihanna Lips - Rudeboy video
Sexual Connotations, Women+Bold Lips = Power

The Lips evoke powerful emotions and connotations of sex and strong femininity and female beauty, the colours are bold and vibrant.
Also...
 we looked at Jessie J's videos and found more powerful and sexual connotations involving, big stand out, vibrant lips. There is also a sense of danger and hidden agenda tied with Jessie J's black diamond encrusted lips, as they are jagged and 3-dimensional, there is an implication of S&N style torture and pleasure and glamorous danger.

These women are all very powerful, influential, independent and innovative and we have looked at their style music, videos and iconography and have taken some influences and adjusted and transferred them into our ideas for our music video, as we are enthusiastic about what they are about.

Tinie Tempah Pass Out Video
 - Water bouncing off the speakers

I like this idea for our video possibly with a glow in the dark drum and water bouncing off it whilst  the drum is beaten to give a very vivid, colour shock and pop effect, this is similar to the effect used on X Factor on  Saturday 29th October for Craig's performance of Adele's powerful and emotive Song.


the idea of something being moved by the vibrations from the music speaker, shows more connotations of physical power and strength and could be used as a metaphor to describe the song and music being pumped from the speakers.
