Dolby

Leah- there seems to very little work here- no ancillary analysis and lack of other planning elements. The song lyrics are not analysed. Don't forget that audience info is key. You must be uploading all research and planning.

Song Lyrics

If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
You say: If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
Wear them gold and diamonds rings
All them things don't mean a thing
Chaperons and limousines
Shopping for expensive things
I be on the movie screens
Magazines and boogie scenes
I'm not clean, I'm not pristine
I'm n queen, I'm no machine
I still go to Taco Bell
Drive through, raw as Hell
I don't care, I'm still real
No matter how many records I sell
After the show or after the Grammys
I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin', reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang
And now I'm in
We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
I'm talking Champagne wishes, caviar dreams
You deserve nothing but all the finer things
Now this whole world has no clue to do with us
I've got enough money in the bank for the two of us
Brother gotta keep enough lettuce
To support your shoe fetish
Lifestyles so rich and famous
Robin Leach will get jealous
Half a million for the stones
Takin' trips from here to Rome
So If you ain't got no money take yo' broke ass home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy
I got problems up to here
I've got people in my ear
Telling me these crazy things
That I don't want to know (fuck y'all)
I've got money in the bank
And I'd really like to thank
All the fans, I'd like to thank
Thank you really though
'Cause I remember yesterday
When I dreamt about the days
When I'd rock on MTV, that be really dope
Damn, It's been a long road
And the industry is cold
I'm glad my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know
my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know
my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know


Possible Locations




I'm not sure how useful this is; only one location filmed and not sure how it ties in with the song?

Research and Planning Evaluation

Research into genre helped me with production because it gave me a feel of the style that is represented throughout the R&B industry. Once I had established this it made it easier for me to decide the colour scheme and the style of layout I wanted to use, as from research R&B magazines were very simplistic. It also allowed me to identify the different conventions as well as features to make my magazine suitably fit my genre. 

The research into target audiences allowed me to create an appealing magazine and appropriate themes for my the age of my target audience. This is extremely important as different features work well for certain age ranges and what appeals to a 16 year old would be very different to what appeals to a 30 year old. Research and planning also helped as it was always there to look back on when I got stuck and needed to refresh my memory for ideas or inspiration. It also made me feel a lot more confident in the creation of my magazine as I felt I knew what I was doing and had a lot more background knowledge which would lead to making a magazine to the best of my ability.

Audience feedback was a very important element of research and planning as the main aim was to make the product appealing to the audience, and by creating surveys and gaining other forms of feedback, this meant I was creating exactly what my audience wanted. This is something that I will keep in mind when producing the music video, as the feedback I will receive can be taken on board and the necessary changes will happen. The effect of these changes will improve the quality of the music video and fit better into my chosen genre. 

From the first production research I learnt how crucial time allocation was for the project, as I underestimated the amount of time each stage would take and how much detail would need to go in to filming and editing. As there were several stages within the planning and research area, I feel I should have set myself deadlines and made a timetable for when I was going to be doing what to ensure I had everything organised and everything would be easily achievable. Time management is a major detail I will pay attention to in the music video project as it can have an impact on the outcome of the project.

Question 5

What have you learnt from completing this task? Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing your advanced portfolio, do you think?

From completing this task, I have learnt how useful research and planning is so you know exactly what you are doing. I have also learnt how to operate the video camera and how to use the editing programme which will be extremely significant when completing my advanced portfolio as I feel confident with what I am doing.
