Email to My Artist

My E-mail to my artist

This is a image of me contacting my artist Cincere asking for permission to use there work in my music assignment.

Cincere Information Pack

   Cincere was born in Chicago and raised in Milwaukee; Cincere attended the Lincoln Center School of the Arts. Recognized as an  for young artists and Oprah Winfrey’s alma mater, Cincere found the nurturing environment he was seeking at Lincoln Center and discovered creative outlets in both music and the visual arts which are two things he thrived off.
Throughout his early life, a young Cincere travelled to homeless shelters where there was alot of rough  environments . He was having emotional and financial turmoil but  Cincere continued to perform live  at churches, shelters, and helped schools by spreading his positive message through his music and channel his feelings through songs. “I really just wanted to make others smile. I didn’t have any money to give, so I gave the gift God gave to me.”

Clothing that artist should wear

 

I have chosen these types of clothing because they go with the sad love emotion you feel when you listen to the music video. The  clothing such as the dark colour jackets is use to because the lighting is goin to be dark.The dark evenings will also go well with the story line as it is very sad and emotional love song , this is why i have chosen clothes such as this to go with it. I think these pieces of clothing also are very plain with nothing much eye catchy except for the potential piercings.

Typography Used
These are some examples of the kind of typography my artist would have for his logo . I think that Cincere is a very classy artist and the writing helps illustrate that .All these images show his name as i believe this is they type of logo he would have if he ever designed one. The first one shows a elegant posh style writing which was inspired by fashion magazines which tend to very classy and mature. The second one is a more bold  look which goes well with Cincere as he has soft and caring look about which echos in his music. The third has a rough look which would would have some sort of dark colour in orderto make it look more attractive.

Muse-En-scene used



These are some of the Mis-En-Scene that i would have in my music video. The first row shows the types of lighting i would want in my music video at the start ,The first image shows a girl crying and it is used a a starter for the audience. The next image is the first sign of the cheating started by the partner. The third image is of a man standing at the window, this might not necessarily be in the video but it used to represent the friend who see everything that occurs in the relationship. The fourth image shows the girl in her bed trying to sleep, the next image was just and example of photography that could be used (High-low). The sixth image shows an double image of two women talking in one picture and below have a man and woman arguing. I wanted to make that image the breaking point in the music video and then the next image shows a women looking stern with a man behind her. The last two images is meant to be a flashback to how things were.

Colours


These are some examples of the colours i would chose to represent the artist and their identity. These are all  colours that go with the emotions you may feel by watching the music video. Red is a natural colour but can  represent things such as  blood, passion. Black represents a dark/sad presence. Navy blue and grey are very hard colours which go good with what the artist is trying to promote with his music.

Imagery
This are some images which  may appear in the viewers head when listening to the artists single called 'Why can't you see'. The song is obviously about love but when you interpret the lyrics you can tell there is another meaning which is "love blindness". When i listening to the song i think about heartbreak and how both parties must feel in the narrative.
 

99Dollar Music Video

99Dollar Music Video

What is 99dollarmusicvideos.com
99dollarmusicvideos.com is a niche social media company who try to combine with independent artists and film makers help make a very cutting edge music video with original music, creativity and low quality funds,equipment due to financial funds. The company only provides $99 for artists who are not signed  a creative music video with a filmmaker featured on their website which is something you find common in mainstream artist such as Beyonce. There should be a good communication and collaboration between the artist/band and the director as both would pitch ideas to each other and then merge them to make a good and professional music video. The music video will then be shown on their website and also given a premiere date and also advertised on their social network website.

What is their ethos
The Ethos for the website is to create  a music videos for niche artists who needs a source to fund their music video or identity. There video has to be a collaboration between the artist and a filmmaker to help with the quality of the video also matters on and off the camera. The videos  made will be shot in within 24hours and also edited in 24hours, the videos need to be very hypnotic and creative.

What Type of songs, Labels genre appear on their website?
The website clearly shows that an independent (niche) artist can only be provided with $99. The artist and filmmaker will go out and use that money for filming , props and many more. An artist who is signed to a label niche or mainstream wouldn't have to use this website as they can be funded by there record label .  The website tend to have a lot of pop.Relationship between film makers and artist?
The relationship between the artist and the film maker needs to be good . The YouTube account states that  videos must be a collaboration between the band and the film maker' meaning that the video has to be something that both artist and filmmaker to accept and have a contribution towards it. The account wants the video to be something that the artist is enjoys and also the director who filmed and planned it.


Cost included/excluded 
When Filming the cost will be given to the filmmaker and the band to help with funds. The usage of your own equipment such as cameras. If the artist needs a new guitar or a hat for the music video then this will be taken from the fund that is given and the maximum of usage would obviously just be $99.

Analysing your song

 Analysing your song


                                                                             (Woooh)
              This one goes out to all the ladies, that aint getting it how they wanna get it, so fellas watch out
                 Do you really think he's going out with his friends all this stuff, baby girl he's got you fooled
                 yeah, Do you reallly think he's spending all his paper on his homies at the trone you need to
                                                                      know that its real
Cincere is directly talking to the ladies and clearly addresses the matter of why he is taking time to talk to them before doing so he send a warning to the men in general probally preparing them for what he is about to say. What Cincere is about to say may affect the men listening to the song aswell.


                                                                               (chorus)
          Baby girl, why dont you just let him go, you best to let him go, you know that , i know that, we know that. Baby girl you just need to let him be and get with me, its easy as 123, gotta be, He don ttreat you like a queen, why can't you see that you should be with me baby, he's a maybe. Imma treat you like a lady.

....... Girl you gotta make him choose, and he never says i love you but even though a really man should,
Cincere is clearly talking to a girl about her current relationship with her partner telling her that he is unfaithful and that she needs to let him go before she really get hurt emotionally. He said it is easy as 123 to help amplify he suggestion. He then says that she should get with him because knows how to treat a women right.
                                                                           
 (chorus) x2

Verse: Girl like here's were you will you would be, im everything your man can not be, its over baby, why cant you see baby, you could be the one for me.  Baby girl you just need to let him be and get with me, its easy as 123, gotta be, He don ttreat you like a queen, why can't you see that you should be with me baby, he's a maybe. Imma treat you like a lady.
Baby girl you just need to let him be and get with me, its easy as 123, gotta be, He don ttreat you like a queen, why can't you see that you should be with me baby, he's a maybe. Imma treat you like a lady.
Now Cincere is comparing himself to her current partner saying how he is not half the man he is. He pleads with her to wake up out of her love blindness to see that the relationship is over and point out the signs of why the whole relationship is shipwrecked by saying he don't treat you like a queen and then goes on again saying how she should be his girl because he can treat her right.

AnalysisThis is a love song dedicated to the girl he vould not get. Cincere is singing about how girls tend to go with a guy who doesn't treat them right by there boyfriends and he wishes he was the partner because belive he can be the best for her. This story line is cliche but it is very true in todays world and Cincere not only represent himself he represent all the other men in that situation.

Section1
The target audience is directed toward ladies aged 17-35 as it goes over certain issues that would occur in there relationship.
The gender is most likely going to appeal to females but may attract male attention.
The ethnic background would be mixed as all races go through this type of trouble.
The location would be directed worldwide because i don't believe the matter should be local/national.

Section2
The song is about how Cincere see's a women who is being messed about by the partner she is with. He breaks down the situation that the women goes through and the  trouble it brings to the female and how she should get with him. He believes that she should be with him because he thinks he can treat her right. Although love stories is cliche this type of narrative is not as common in the love genre. The song is a very soft song and has a very mellow tone. The music goes well with the lyrics which is very easing. The song has a sense of comfort direct towards to the female in the song and that grabs the listener who has tuned in.

Section3
The music used in the song is soft and soothing, this type of music used when the artist or someone is trying to comfort the person. Cincere's voice matches the tone of the music as it is very soft and doesn't carry any other emotion apart from the love and care he is trying to connote.

Section4
The tempo in the song is farely slow this is to help connect with the viewer/listener who is tuning in. The music is is slowed down so that the word said can be heard and be proberly pronounced and help women learn from thoughs lyrics sung by Cincere.


Section5
I would communicate this song by illustrating a women with a unfaithful partner and who cheats on her with other women by flirting and kissing other women. This will help amplify the feelings and awareness of unfaithfulness in relationships.
