The video's narrative

The art of peer pressure by rap artist Kendrick Lamar has a clearly defined narrative. The song tells the story of a young Kendrick Lamar who is participating in his cousins usual schedule, Kendrick's cousin
is part of the California gang Pirus (Bloods).

The video itself starts of with the gang driving in a car coming across various situations such rival gang members patrolling around and also meeting and flirting with women. The videos climax sees the gang take part in a burglary and getting away from police.

our aim was not to copy the video but to tweak it, make some our own e.g the quick flashes to various scenes in the opening of our video.

analysis of video by class peers

Our class have recently viewed and commented on our Media videos most of the comments we had received were similar to each other these comments included

- some of our shots are getting cut to much in the editing process loosing details
-   unclear/ not sure of story
- matches genre well
- no lip syncing
- good use of effects/ props

The editing in our video is meant to unclear to start of with as it flashes backwards to planning the robbery which is why we have choose to use quick cuts and transitions.

The story of our piece becomes clear towards the end of the video with the robbery taking place at this point.


The Editing Process

we are currently under in process of editing and finalizing our video. we have been using various effects and filters in our video to give the illusion of a flashback or time passing. this can be shown through this image here.

Here is the image with the effect in place.

This is an image of the video's opening, we used images of of Google maps as they only appear briefly

This last image shows the changes we made to make a daytime shot look dark, we had used a nighttime filter and had lowered the exposure and contrast of of the shot which made the scene look convincing.
