lyrics and ideas

"In my zone, thoughts running through my zone,
on my own, real far away from home,
but let it be known, not all alone,
just me myself and my microphone"

We have decided to try to link our video more with the lyrics of the chorus which are clearly revolved around microphones. We had a vague idea as a group how to include microphones into the video and concluded that we would use irony throughout our video to feature microphones. For other ideas we tried to inspire ourselves with suggestions from other artists' music videos.


This rizzle kicks video features the same sort of irony as at 1.28, discretely in the background a drug deal styled transaction between the dealer selling a trumpet and the buyer.
This has influenced and inspired our ideas for our music video, where instead of the mugger wanting to buy drugs/stolen goods we have edited it so he now wants to buy a microphone.
There will be various points throughout the video where microphones will casually, but not blatantly be dropped in, for example at the beginning there will be a picture of a microphone on the laptop screen.
And as in the Rizzle Kicks video, When the transaction happens at the cashpoint, there will be someone selling a microphone near by in the background, in a sketchy manor.

We believe that this will add a bit of a twist and keep the audience engaged as it does not follow the conventional story line of a hip-hop video, however the mood and genre of the video are kept similar and match with the beat and lyrics of the song in order to not lose/confuse the viewers.
