Post an analysis of the original video for your song choice stating clearly how your video will differ

Video:

In The Air (feat. Professor Green & Maverick Sabre)





Analysis
  • Tracking and panning video camera shots from 0-11 sec introduces the main character to the audience, the long shot of the male signifies that he is the narrator of the music video
  • There is a lot of tracking in the whole music video, this can be used to correlate to the pace of the music instrumental and rapping from Professor green.
  • Medium shots are used on the main character as much as those in his surroundings, this could be done to express his facial features and emotions
  • I think the wide shots of his surrounding e.g the estate and sky are used to give a view a point of the characters, pacey music and the camera technique can suggest the characters awareness or his paranoia
  • The Mise en scene of the tower blocks could be suggesting to the audience that the individual is trapped in a maze and cant get out
  •  The hoody hides the majority of the characters identity/face and shadows his eyes yet we can see that he is angry through the expressions of his lips and inflated nostrils. The black character can instil a theme of stereotype to the audience.
  • The theme of using the attacking pigeons is an unusual but rare technique not used in any other hip-hop videos I've seen before
  • The change of power from the narrator being the angry black teenage boy to the pigeons was also an intriguing idea.
How Our video will differ?
  • There could be flashbacks
  • Cut the shots of the artist performing the lyrics
  • Actor Paranoid and looking over there shoulder all the time and running from their past
