Analysis of music video

Whilst i watched only the first minute of this music video, the camera angles, shots, editing, mise en scene and lighting that i noted were a variety of many. First there were long shots of the artists to begin with showing a background and her whole body. This could give the viewer a chance to see the scene. Close ups and medium shots were then used when another character was introduced. Close ups of the artists inparticular showing the viewer her facial expressions whilst interacting with the second person. A panning movement of the camera was used especially to show off the artists envious figure, starting from her foot upwards. This engages the audience. The second artists who was rapping had a number of medium shots for the audience to view him, but not too many because he is not the main artist in the video. The lighting changes throughout this part of the video, there is a change of high lighting and low lighting. The low lighting is mainly used for the scenes with the male dancers and the high lighting is when the main character is on her own.
