In rap video the is a style of music video there are also used a lot of cuts to make it more intense and interesting and to attract the target audience. So we had to make a lot of cuts and dress our artist and other actors in different clothes to attract people's attention. Also we had to include as many attributes of rap music video as we could such as guns, caps, hoodies, money and crime.
As we couldn't include guns and crime in our video we tried to put as much rap style clothes as we could in it. As you can see on this shot, Dmitry who was one of our actors is dressed like a rap singer. He wears a cap and stylish glasses along with a black t-shirt that makes him to look like a rapper.
On the next screenshot you can see the whole actor group who took part in our video. All of them are dressed like rappers and most of them wear hoodies and chains that are typical attributes of rap music video.
Here is an another screenshot where 3 of our actors walking on the Whitstable road. The actors and the crew knew that the genre of the music video was hip hop so not only we required the actors to dress in that style but we directed them to walk on the streets in that style to keep the convention of the hip hop genre.
On our camera Canon 7D we used mostly manual settings as due to the fact that we had to control the level of the light in the footage. We were changing ISO and aperture quite frequently to achieve a desirable level of lightning that suited for the hip hop music video that had to be quite bright. We always changed ISO several times in the process of actual filming as the weather changed. Sometimes it was too much light in the shot so we had to decrease the ISO so that the image sensor would be less sensitive to light. And we had to increase the ISO when it was becoming darker later in the day to get the same level of lightning in each piece of our footage. When filming inside we generally had to increase ISO and decrease the aperture in order to make our footage seeable.
We have directed our actors to act according to the genre we chose which was hip hop. So they had to wear baggy jeans, sport pants, gold chains and caps. They were also directed to move in in hip hop style by doing some moves and dancing. All our actors were required to wear either hoodies or coats and caps. We tried to follow the hip hop style as close as possible and used the clothes to follow the genre.
When installing a microphone (Rode VideoMic-R Shotgun) which is a very sensitive part of our equipment we had to decrease its sensitivity by setting the sensitivity level at 0 as shown at the picture below. If we chose higher sensitivity that may have caused unwanted noises and if we chose lower sensitivity that may have resulted in not enough sounds being captured.

We had to use this microphone because a microphone installed in Canon 7D camera wasn't sensitive enough to capture all the sounds we wanted to capture.
We used the multiple lenses for taking different shots like 50mm, 55-250mm, etc. Usually we set their focus to be automatic but when we needed to control the focus during filming the scene or adjust it somehow we switched focus by twisting the lens itself. Different lenses helped us to film at different ranges. For example at the field where we were at a long distance from George we had to use 50mm lense.
Below is an example of one of the lenses we used. So by switching from AF to MF we were able to manually control the focus of the camera.
Below is a full map of settings for Canon 7D. From these we mostly used only aperture and ISO settings.
