Beanie Man ft Future Fambo – Rum and Red Bull

Anthony Moses Davis (born August 22, 1973) better known by his stage name Beanie Man, is a Grammy award winning Jamaican reggae artist. He is the self-proclaimed "King of the Dancehall".

FUTURE TROUBLES a.k.a. FUTURE FAMBO asserts one of Jamaica’s perennially loved, and most talented deejays; renowned for his witty, gritty, and versatile deliveries, on the hardest Dancehall riddims. His durability is unquestionable, particularly in a genre of music that has seen the rise and fall of many (Hardcore Dancehall).

[Chorus: Beenie Man]I'm drinking rum and RedbullHennessy let me heart fullDem wah me get awfulLike dem on di dancehall get crawful

The song is about a man going to a club whilst drinking rum and red bull. Whilst he is in the club he feels like he can get any girl and can do anything. The use of alcohol is glamorised in this song they express how much fun they are having whilst drinking it also emphasising the fact that if they don’t drink they are not cool.

Rum and red bull, although it is emphasised as a must have drink, is actually a really dangerous combination to have. Being a stimulating energy drink red bull speeds up your heart rate whilst alcohol slows it down therefore confusing your body resulting in major risks to your body if taken in high amounts.

In our video we thought we would show two main characters getting ready to go out whilst drinking rum and red bull and smoking weed. They start to feel uneasy and drift into a different mind zone. We want to show the world in a drunk/high person’s point of view. We want the world to have an ‘’Alice in wonderland’’ effect by having everything out of the ordinary.

The main camera angles we want to use are lots of close ups of objects such as roll ups, bottles of alcohol and the characters eyes. Long shots of the surrounding and lots of different angles of point of view shots. We are mainly looking forward to being creative with the camera works by using unusual shots such as graphic matches, spinning shots, tracking whilst panning and reverse shots.

The mise- en- scene will show the characters status, state of mind and differentiate between reality and the dream world. We are planning to use some animation to empathise the fact that it is not reality. We are also going to be speeding up shots in the edit suite, slowing shots down, enlarging certain images and creating a wide range of locations by using the green screen.

These ideas are not finalised. We are still in the process of adding ideas and removing some that we think will not work efficiently.
