Today in one of our media lessons we were discussing what we would include in our music video's and the part that caught my attention was the discussing of "a wow clip". a wow clip is something that catches the audiences attention and something that they will remember throughout the video. Throughout research i have came up with two different type wow clips one of them is what i found when looking at clips on youtube and i found it in a video that included Mr Faiz ft Bilzar and it is a camera wipe, this is a type of camera transition from going to one clip to another and it works really well in my opinion. Below is an example of where it is used (It starts at 1:30 - 1:45 so you don't have to watch the whole video :) ). The main reason for using this as a wow shot is because it is quite creative and fun which i think would be very good to include into my work.
Another clip which i am debating on including in my music video as a wow clip is when there is multiple clips happening at once such as in Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. The reason why i think this would be a good technique is because it will show a lot of skill and make the video more interesting and engaging for the viewers, But the reason why i am not 100% sure about including this clip is because i think it will be very hard to include this technique and keep it to a good standard where it looks professional. Also this technique may not work with my music type as it is quite a face paced song and if multiple clips are included to match the songs flow it could confuse the user so i will have to do more research into music videos that are the same as mine which use this technique.
Planning: My 60 second pitch
"During my video i think as the song is basically about their childhood i will have to make my video with people in the music video doing things which children would do. One of the ideas for my video would be for them going into a park and playing on the swings or other things that are in the park whilst they and singing the song, another place i am thinking would be good would either be in a paddling pool or a swimming pool which they will be wearing arm bands to make it a more comedic such as Chiddy bang do with their videos, i may also learn how to make the heads a lot bigger but on an normal sized body like Chiddy bang do, during the Verses i will change the clips to be a little more serious but i am still trying to figure out ideas in which i could use for these parts and i know that i will have to record my clips multiple times because the lip syncing will be quite hard to get perfect especially as the lyrics is quite fast paced and the people i choose will have to learn the song.
The picture below is just one of the ideas i might take from the music video i could do this somewhere such as Brambleside or Grafton Park because these are quite suitable and they are local.
One of the second ideas for my music video will be throughout the music video there could be flashbacks of them doing what they did as children but as the song progress the characters in the music video start to become older and start looking more and more like adults.

Planning: Lyrics analysis
Lyrics
Chorus
Hey yo I once was a kid all I had was a dream
mo' money no problems, when I get it imma pile it up
Yeah I'm dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm whippin' up shows and 'em fans goin' wild wid us
Tell mummy I'm sorry
This life is a party
I'm never growing up
Verse 1
Remember you was a kid
Reminisce days of the innocence
Now it's Chiddy Bang, google me in the images
Follow me, follow me I'm the leader
And when I park cars I don't pay for the meter
I remember I was younger as a kid it was the best
I used touch on all the pretty girls at recess
I'm at my peak yes, I won't leave yet
Serial style, cereal aisle need Chex
I can make these rappers run like a hard drill
Rock band show you how the guitar feel
And I could care less how y'all feel
I got the flow to make a witch do a cartwheel
This is that good just pop it and relax bro
And you can get it free don't worry 'bout the tax though
And Xaphoone, thank you for the crack
But I play a Ron Bergundy I anchor on the track like that
Chorus
And yo I once was a kid all I had was a dream
mo' money no problems, when I get it imma pile it up
Yeah I'm dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm whippin' up shows and 'em fans goin' wild wid us
Tell mummy I'm sorry
This life is a party
I'm never growing up
Verse 2
Can I please get a little bit of knowledge
Somebody tell Roth that I don't love college
'Cause the real world's kinda like Real World
And it's drama so you are Svetlana and I'm just a rhymer
Swimmin' in the water tryin' to dodge the piranhas and fly to Bahamas
Pretty little momma, Chiddy in the spot
Where you at pretty lady show me what you got
They say why you rappin' for the kids for
I said my clothes come fitted, the Lids store
This summer you can catch me on a big tour
I'm high grade, I think they need to quiz more
Let me get wit ya, don't let the kid hit ya
I'm the photo album Valletta has, big picture
The rule is, the dude is, so up, so chuck I'm a cool kid
Chorus X2
And yo I once was a kid all I had was a dream
mo' money no problems, when I get it imma pile it up
Yeah I'm dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
Yeah, I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm whippin' up shows and 'em fans goin' wild wid us
Tell mummy I'm sorry
This life is a party
I'm never growing up
And yo I once was a kid all I had was a dream
mo' money no problems, when I get it imma pile it up
Yeah I'm dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I'm whippin' up shows and 'em fans goin' wild wid us
Tell mummy I'm sorry
This life is a party
I'm never growing up
Analysis
in my opinion i think that the whole song is about how that Chiddy bang are on the rise within the music industry. Looking just at the chorus i think the message they are trying to portray is that they believe that they are an original group and that they are "trend setters" the reason why i think this is from the line "So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us" also from the chorus it is quite obvious that they loved their childhoods and the whole idea of being a child and do not want to become adults and just have fun. Also from the chorus i think that they are trying to emphasis their acheivements from the lyrics "I once was a kid with the other little kids, Now I'm whippin' up shows and 'em fans goin' wild wid us" from this the message i got was that they were just ordinary children but from how hard they have worked you can see how far they have come to be performing to people.
Analysing the first verse the message this is trying to get across is that he is talking about his childhod again and talking about what he did as a child. Also he is talking about how his group has become much more popular by being recognised as the toop search on google this is shown in the lyrics "Now it's Chiddy Bang, google me in the images". Also he is saying about how he is becoming a threat to other artists like him and he is competition to them "I can make these rappers run like a hard drill". Also from the lyrics "But I play a Ron Bergundy I anchor on the track like that" it shows that he feels he dominates on his music as he has compared himself to someone in a film who was very powerful.
Looking into the second verse it is clearly he is trying to insult Asher roth who i would say is on the same level in terms of power in the music industry this could be so that the song gets more recognition or that they are trying to get some sort of response out of Asher Roth. then he begins to rap about how again how he loves being a child and how he is on the rise again
