Artist Research

Juanita researched into Prof. Greens star image and deconstructed it as we feel he is closely linked to our own stars image.

The overall appearance of Prof. Green signifies he doesn’t care about what anyone has to say, this can be perceived as the typical attitude of many British “ ‘ard body ” male teenagers. He dresses in a very modern and casual youthful way – t-shirt, jeans new era hats, tattoos. The image of the green speakers connote that he (Professor Green) is a loud impenetrable force, as is his music.
• The first image gives off the impression that no one can touch or break him, like he’s at the top of the food chain and therefore has become untouchable. Whereas the second picture has him kneeling down on the floor and therefore makes him look vulnerable and small. This can be seen as him showing his softer side.
• His stance with arms out and head slightly tilted back is almost a challenging gesture. Complete with his cocky facial expression, his whole persona provides us with a challenge: “I dare you.”

These ideas can be used in our pop video because we have the main character who is helplessly in love to the point he is singing about it, but instead of singing throughout the whole song there is a part in the song where the singer raps about the specific things that he likes about her “ love the way you talk, love the way you stare” and how its “real love”.
