[Verse 1: Shakka]
I could never had a moany wife
She’d have no time to kiss me
I do what I love or die
I should think the same when I beat
Never live a boring life
Hashtag that in a tweet
Kinda like the Life of Pi
Get a pet tiger, see where life leads
Elevation’s what I deal with
Top floor so my soul can breathe
When I wake up I’m dreaming
Playtime like back in primary
Bit nostalgic now I’m feening
Fresh Prince, Saved by the Bell's what it might be
Or an anime binge for the evening
Bebop, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z
Don’t know what to call this feeling
This lust for life is crazy
Ain't nothing wrong with sleeping
Better live a gangster life in your dreams
Big money ain't where I’m aiming
I just want a bone - pass one for me
Your imagination's got a ceiling
Go buy suicide for dummies
[Hook]
[Shakka]
Go 'head call me a weirdo
Dun know, dun know
I've been left from the get go
Dun know, dun know
Can't live life like them
That ain't wildlife
When you're just on safari
Go be safe in your jeep
I'll walk with the elephants
Rolling, rolling with the elephants
Rolling, rolling with the elephants
Rolling, rolling with the elephants
Rolling, rolling with the elephants
Go 'head Call me a weirdo
Dun know, dun know
I've been left from the get go
Dun know, dun know
I walk with the elephants
Rolling, rolling with the elephants
Rolling, rolling
[Verse 2: Frisco]
I come through like ya dun know
Yeah fam
This one here’s gon’ clear fam
Heard couple lickle man said they don’t like me
Does it look like I care fam?
I told these niggas from back in ’03
Don’t know me, I bet your girl knows me
This manna get wrapped like a lamb roti
Frisc said about this nigga oh please
I’m one of the realest out here
I’m from a place that hate the police
Came up on the estate, I was always on road
Guess you could say I was raised in the street
You niggas don’t wanna come down here
Big up my home town N15
Start get gal when I hit 15
I got my first son when I hit 16
Strictly good vibes but I’m on yo
Dun know, dun know
The rhino got my eye low
Dun know, dun know
Come through like what is it on tho?
Dun know, dun know
So think first before you try me
Been a bad boy from I left primary
[Hook]
[Shakka]
[Bridge]
[Shakka]
You might stare like I'm barmy
Cuz I do things you wish you would
Fighting lions in Jumanji
Slay enemies in Robin Hood
Don’t fear wildlife when wild life’s a party
That’s a whack safari
Go be safe in your jeep
Ima walk with the elephants
1) From 0-15 seconds, we can hear no words being sung, it is just sound in the background.
2) At 15 seconds we hear the first words being sung by Shakka, these carry on until 1:04
(I could never had a moany wife-
3) At 1 minute and four seconds we hear the build up to the chorus.
4) At 1:18 is when the chorus fully starts and this is when 'Rolling with the elephants' is repeated 4 times.
5) At 1:52 is when Frisco first comes into the song when he is rapping, this continues until 2:40
6) At 2:40 Shakka starts the verse before the chorus exactly the same as 1:04.
7) 2:44 is when the chorus begins for a second time with Shakka being the main singer.
8) At 3:29 when the chorus stops, Shakka continues to rap until 4:26 when the song is over.

Group Timetable of Availability
When doing a piece of media work as a group, It is essential to know the best times to work together and film, without knowing availability it can be very difficult to utilise the best filming days.
The reason for putting 6-12PM on weekdays, is because Max works from 3:30-5:30 every day, therefore we cannot do it any time before this.
Late Wednesday and Saturday in the morning is perfect, because we are all free at this time. It is essential that when we want to film we have every member present, due to us all having such crucial roles in the filming, producing and editing the performance. Without Max we are missing the star profile within our performance, then if we are missing Melissa we miss out on the directing skills for our video.

Lip Sync
We did this lip sync task to see who would suit the role of Shaka and Frisco best. We all attempted to do a lip sync test to see which members of our group would match the music better.

Feedback for music video ideas
First Song: Walking with elephants (Shakka)
Evan- Abroad, imagine a lot of different lights
Maisie- In the city, If Mel draws it, we could have it on time-lapse to make it very interesting.
Kelsey- Melissa can paint an elephant, due to her art skills.
Millie- Max could really suit the part
Alicia- Palm trees, Jamaica
Difficulty because of two rappers.
Miss Brookes- Adding wildlife in to the video would be too much
Evan- Duke Dumont
Many people liked the idea of painting and drawings of elephants.
Second Song- I could be (Witt Lowry)
Megan- Like the track in general, but first one is better. Could be very good, although would need a strong narrative.
Miss- Would be a lot of editing, a lot of narrative within the starting voice. Better ideas for second one, mix them in with the first video.
Alicia- Better ideas for this song, although prefer first song
All of class vote for the first video.
Miss- Problem with Chelmsford is can't get shots like you will in London.

Student Video Review
I particularly like this Student music video because it is very exciting and upbeat. They have used a number of different backgrounds to keep the viewers interested whilst telling a story of the main character who is more important than the others. The miming and acting is very convincing which helps the entire project look realistic and professional. They have also used a very good quality camera which gives a very professional look to it. The main character who is pretending to be Marina and the Diamonds in this particular clip has consistent makeup and hair looks to support the profile of the singer.
