Inspiration

Recently, I went to see the horror film 'Sinister' at the cinema. It is a dark story about a child abductor, and although its genre conventions don't follow those of rap music at all, there were some which I intend to employ in my music video. For example, the protagonist was an author, and so he spent a lot of time on his laptop writing. This gave me the idea of using close ups on technology to symbolise certain messages without physically saying them.

 

I was researching the genre generally by watching UK hip hop music video's and I found this shot very interesting, in a music video by huge UK artists Foreign Beggars and Skinnyman
