Research: Example

 Example - 'Stay Awake', 'Hip Hop Genre'.

The video starts with a shot of a white studio with Examples logo in the bottom left corner of the screen, this informs the audience of the artist.


Cuts are used between the white studio, urban, and green environments, these really contrast in the video, at the first cut from the studio the audio begins to play.


After the first cut from the studio the cut returns to the studio with example standing next his logo, it the continues with the cuts between the urban and green environments.


we begin seeing people entering the shots, although theres a difference in there environments they each appear the same, this may be a message that even though we each live in different places, and feel we are all individuals but we are in a lot of ways the same.







After a number of cuts we see a girl dressed a rabbit walking through a forest, which matches the lyrics of the song, 'Did we chase the rabbit into wonder land?' this is a visual representation, the song now begins to break into the chorus, every from the urban and green environment begin to dance.




After the break to the chorus we start to see much longer and frequent shots of example with a balanced mix of close ups and long shots in the studio, this allows the audience to make a strong link between the artist and music.







In the shots of the performers we get a large mix of camera shots and angles, here is a low angle shot, this makes the actor appear powerful, we also compare him to the sky scrapers, which makes him appear like a giant.







This Long shot is a powerful shot, the world she's in is made to appear almost alien, the blue door appears to represent the women has walked into a new world.









Here is a low angle of people dancing in a field, the video is slowed down which makes for an interesting shot.










Through out the video this same angled shot is used but each time a different performer is in shot, each does his own action which to me appears to be a small piece of their personalities.
