Silhouettes

The idea…

The group have came up with the idea of using silhouettes throughout the hip hop music video. The conventions of females in hip hop videos

include the use of voyeuristic camera shots and seductive dancing to enhance the woman’s sexual appeal. In order to incorporate this

stereotypical idea into our music video, we will use silhouettes. This means we can have

provocative dancing, without it looking tasteless. It is also keeping to the hip hop

conventions, without making our performer feel uncomfortable.

We would like our music video to look

something like the image below. The effect

also creates a sense of mystery as the

females identity is hidden. There are various

poses we could use…

In relation to our song choice, we consider

the silhouettes a good idea. This is because

the song choice is ‘sexy’ and therefore we

need to be able to portray this idea in a

suitable way. We want the music video to

look classy, like the original does but with

our own twist.
