Plan B – Suzanne

How would you interpret the lyrics?

The lyrics are based on the notorious Camden ripper named Anthony Hardy who was convicted with all charges and sentenced to life imprisonment. He picked up prostitutes and decapitated there body parts and threw them in the canal. The story is based on one of his victims Suzanne.

How would you interpret the music?

The music is very ironic in a way because the rapper talks about her being killed whilst the music and rhythm is very upbeat and happy. I think this helps give an effect to storyline and song as a whole.

What original ideas would you bring to the video?

Using the lyrics to create our own interpretation of the song, whilst making strong links between the lyrics and visuals, also introducing some of our own personal skills to help make a connection to our research.
