Music industry/how hard to break through voiceover
Thousands of people try to break into the music industry each year however very few ever make it. Artists and Repertoire (A&R) is the division of a record label company that is responsible for scouting and artist development. A&R departments at major labels typically only accept solicited demos, or ones from business contacts with which they are familiar. However, some major labels and many independent labels still accept unsolicited demos.
Myspace/other help voiveover
Created in July 2003, Myspace is a popular social networking website which offers users a place to express themselves. With roughly 43,000,000 users, myspace is the world’s fifth most popular website. However it is not the only way in which has helped youth break into the music industry. Programmes such as x factor and Pop idol have also helped youth to fulfill thier dreams. They may not be the best way to fulfil your dreams but they are ways of helping.
Following the lives of some upcoming artists will show their dedication and the struggles they face in breaking through to the music industry along with advice for other budding artists.

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.

Editing ideas
Voice over
Fix up look sharp instrumental- Dizzee rascal in the background
Studio image with emphasis on words
clips from videos: Ciara - Get up/that's right
Kanye west - Stronger
Kano - Ps + Qs
Jay Sean - Ride it
Estelle - American boy
Dhillon: Many young people today aspire to break into the music industry as an artist or even behind the scenes as a producer or songwriter, however it's not as easy as it seems to breakthrough.
Youth today idolise artists such as Ciara and Kanye West but the youth fail to realise that they didn't get where they are today just by luck. Popular homegrown artists such as Kano, Jay Sean and Estelle put the work, effort and time in to achieving the goals they strived for.
End
Freeze frames of each artist showing their current situations.
Prince- 29th chapter: currently working to next album and touring in the UK and USA
Rasheeda: working hard to complete her BTEC National Diploma in performing arts
Matthew: releasing his second album and looking for a job
Beatrice and Stitch: currently working hard t make it, making tracks and trying to release a music video in the near future.

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).

Research on Editing techniques
Valve Sound system documentary
We really liked the way this channel 4 documentary was edited. We like the way they used jump cuts which keeps the audience's attention because it is short and quick. This would appeal to our target audience as it doesn't focus on anything for too long as they get bored easily if something doesn't interest them. This would keep them interested as they will never know what is coming next (the element of surprise).
Ciara: That's right music video
The bit of editing we like and wish to use in our production is the jump cuts back and forth from different shots. This looks really good and would save a lot of time to include other clips.
H2F2 hip hop documentary part 1
We were fascinated in the editing techniques used in this documentary as it was something we were unfamiliar with. We would like to try and mimic the editing techniques used close to the beginning where they maneuver from one shot to another by a wipe of graffiti on screen. We found this interesting because we like the effect for our title as this is also in graffiti.
