Here's 3 more basic scenes for my music video, I plan to film this weekend so a lot of this will most likely change.

Digipak - Rough design

This is the rough design for my Digipak, obviously it's not the best looking Digipak at the moment but it gives you a rough idea of how I want my Digipak laid out. I'm going for a red, green and yellow colour scheme, a classic reggae colour set. On the inside I want pictures of instruments but the pictures will be enhanced to be darker and next to them will be text about the artist and how his career has spanned across the years.

Shots for my Music video - Opening

I've decided to take some scenery shots for the opening to my music video. I intend to do a introduction to set up the narrative for my video, essentially it is a camp hammer horror style set up where a guy finds a chest and opens it and the artist appears out of the chest. The song will not be playing during this opening and it will mainly be diagetic sounds. One thing to keep in mind is that some of these shots might not be used and some might be added but the location used in the shots will be used but just done up to look more gloomy etc.

Lyrics to my song

You got to make it on your own
You're so alone
You got to make it on your own
You're so alone

Mercy lord I beg you since
I have become a man
Won't you understand
I'm a sweet and loving man

if you is so rude
In a mellow way
Then that's ok

If it's so bad
Lookin' for the steel
Then you know you got to feel
then you know you got to feel
As I would rock it to you baby
Mercy lord I beg you since
I have become a man
Won't you understand
I'm a sweet and loving man X2

If it's life that you're loving
There ain't nothing more to do
If it's life that you're loving
There ain't nothing more to do

If there is a place for everyone
In your art
Then you would never get a better start

If there is a place for everyone
In your heart
Then you would never get a better start

Mercy you understand
I'm a sweet and loving man

Characteristics of reggae music videos

Peter Tosh on the Bush doctor tour, 1978

Reggae music video's tend to be mainly performance based, the editing is normally slow to fit with the beat of the song and narrative/concept videos are rare. The performers in the video's are normally of African/ Carribean descent, most of the time representing their rastafari relgion either by use of the Jamaican flag of lion of Jamaica.

There is no specific outfit for reggae performers but it tends to be loose baggy clothing, as seen in the picture below it differs wildy from person to person.

Beenie man

Robbie Shakespeare

   To fit with the record labels needs there will usually be lots of close up's of the artists body and face to show the audience the mood and feeling of the song so they can identify with it.

Newer reggae video's tend to include a more militant and political feel to them to fit in with the new wave of militant reggae artists like the video below by Damian Marley
