Shot Analysis

Here are some shots that have been analysed, from the Duke Dumont feat. A*M*E - Need U (100%) music video:

 
 
This shot is at the establishing shot, it shows where the video begins and what we can see that the man on the hospital bed may have a problem. It is a mid-shot, it also shows the name the artist in clear view, this really promotes the artist and catches the audiences attention straight away.

This shot shows the audience that the man has a tape player or radio in his stomach, this begins to tell the story about his life. it is a close up so you can under stand what it is. Also the music gets louder when the close up zooms in, to suggest that the music for the video is coming from his stomach.

This long shot suggests he cant escape his "curse" of people always dancing around him, when he wants to carry on with a normal life by catching the bus. The man dances in normal clothes and he also dances to the beat. The red-ish colour of the bus stop and the traffic cones connotes the mans anger and rage as people wont leave him alone.




 
 
This close up implies that they will be conducting surgery to remove the tape player or radio. It shows the audience that the music video is coming to the end and once it is removed it will finish. The blue could suggest the mans sickness or sadness. 

 


 
This over the shoulder, close up shot denotes the tape player in the surgical waste bowl, after surgery. Also the man suddenly presses the stop button because he has had enough of the song, it being in the waste bowl connotes that he hates it. But through out the music video everyone else enjoys it, making the audience like it. The narrative is circular as it starts in the hospital and ends there. The music video also is full of disjuncture as the lyrics don't link to the song.
