Harrison - Music Video Screenshot Analysis

MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS. Song title and artist:   Stormzy – Big for your Boots

Shot	Shot type and camera movement: Medium/close up – Shows Stormzy from his waist upwards showing his setting and camera on his eye line as if he is talking to someone where the camera is.	Analysis
		This shows Stormzy saying ‘how dare you twist the truth’ showing how he could be aggrieved with someone in this time in the song. It also shows in the background his ‘crew’ of what could be on his side in the music video. They are all wearing white to show their friendship and how they are backing him up in the scene. This could link to ‘Boyz in the Hood’ in the gang scene where they are in a group and they are always there for each other to show strength and power.
	Music/lyrics “How dare you twist up the truth”	Edit/Transitions Quick transition at end of shot showing the meaning and aggression he has in it.

Shot	Shot type and camera movement: Medium/close up – Shows Stormzy from his waist upwards and the rest of the people in the shot are also from about waist upwards and the camera moves back and forth with Stormzy shouting as it seems in the video showing the aggression from Stormzy in his lyrics.	Analysis
		The shot shows Stormzy grouped into the middle of a circle as if he is being gung up on and it shows him shouting at them and using aggressive hand movements to show his anger even more. He is also in the middle of a group of white males, and he is the only black man. This could show the racial influence in the music video as Stormzy is threatening the group with the lyrics he uses in the scene.
	Music/lyrics “Your face ain’t big for my boot”	Edit/Transitions Back and forth with Stormzy aggressively shouting at the people stood around him.

Shot	Shot type and camera movement: Medium shot – shows the majority of the figure of Stormzy, shows clearly his location and setting. Eye line level and shows the camera pointing behind where he is following.	Analysis
		The shot shows Stormzy with his arms folded and hanging out of a police car showing a grime or hip-hop genre. This is also shown by what he wearing, which is pretty covered up and also plain, which emphasises this genre even more. He is hanging out of the police car showing his power in a city scene, which could show intertextuality to the film Fast and Furious 7 where they hang out of their cars to show their power in the movie.
	Music/lyrics “I’m the man of the house”	Edit/Transitions Cuts back and forth from this shot showing the power he has all the way through the music video.
