Celebrity Rap Superstar

Celebrity Rap Superstar.... What is it? Well the title says it all I think! If you still haven’t got it, I’ll make it clearer... it is a show about celebrities trying to become superstars, But not any sort of superstar; Rap superstars!
I hear you asking Who’s going to be in it... well how does Redman, Warren G, Too Short, bubba sparxxx , tone loc, Bizaare and Mc lyte sound??!! I wouldn’t miss it for the world....
This show will give us the audience an intake on how hard it is to become a rap star, it isn’t your usual street rapper; it’s the real thing.
So I here you asking, who are the celebrities?? Well, how about Perez Hilton, or Sebastian Bach, maybe you will, prefer playboy model; Kendra Wilkinson, if you like your bad boys, then you can have Jason Wahler, or the actress Shar Jackson. There’s a singer/ actress; Countess Vaughn, another actor; Efren Ramirez or maybe you need a little sport; former NFL player Jamal Anderson.
What is the price?? What does the winner get?? Well what about street cred... yes they will get mad street respect just like their mentors!! What else can they ask for..?!
So fine we know who’s going to be in it, we know what they’re fighting for. Now what is it that they’re doing??... well of course they’ll be performing songs, but they weren’t be jus any songs they’ll be tracks that are specially made for them... whooo exclusive songs only on Celebrity Rap Superstar!!
This show will be entertaining you for 8 weeks and within those 8weeks the celebrities will be practising and learning their verses as well as their flows with their mentors. Ohhhh it ain’t as easy as it sounds, after all that practising you have to spit in front of a studio audience, how about that!!! It doesn’t end there they have to be judged by the experts of the music industry. Who’s the panel... well how about hard hitters like DMC (run-DMC), rapper Da brat and finally the radio personality Big Boy. Will these celebrities be up for the challenge or will they be trippin’???
Now I bet your wonderin’, ok soo it’s all cool, we just watch them straggling and that, that sounds boring, we ain’t getting involved. Yeh, true we thought about that when making the programme, see the judges are just there to judge them and tell them where they’re going wrong. But you play the main part, YOU decide who should win!!!! How u doing that?? Well you vote for who you think should stay and who should goJ.

Idea's Whilst In Editing Suite 2

The other idea that I had was that we should have a title screen in which we contain a question, then we place the shots that the artists answered in accordance with this, so we would need to chop up the interviews into sections, which I have almost finished, and seperate the interviews.
Also we need to get together the ideaologies of our documentary, what we are trying to get across or raise awarness in this documentary.

Idea whilst in editing suite

Wednesday 5th March 2008

Whilst me and Avneet were trying to sort out the opening sequence for which we have captured loads of footage of estates, we and Avneet soon realised that we did not have an order in which we were going to arrange the sequence of shots, meaning should we put the estates then the station, you get the point.
I discussed an idea with avneet this being, that we should create the opening as if the audience were seeing it as if they were living out a day in the musician going to the studio, this would mean incorporating an arrangement of the shots, meaning that we would first have to put in all the shots of the estates first (to give the idea of movement around, on train, almost as if the audience are the artist on the train looking out of the window), then you would need to place the station after this (to give the idea that the audience are the artist leaving the train station), then you would have to include the the studio shot at the end of the opening, (to give the idea that the audience that are getting a view point of the artist, have arrived at the studio to record a track).
