maxsta video analysis
DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
The Video begins with him washing his face and looking intensively at the
mirror
• As the music starts there are lots of quick extreme close ups and jump cuts of maxsta
• Around 40 seconds there are lots of quick shots of the artist walking down the streets with occasional close ups of hand signs and visual effects which are being used quite a lot in grime/hip hop videos
• Throughout the video there occasional really quick shots of the estates which he is walking though could be really good for my music video as that is what the content of the lyrics are about
• When the second verse starts he is the rapping in a black background with 2 of his ‘friends’ are behind him and is like that for most of the song
• There is also quick shots of him actually recording the song which is becoming used a lot in hip hop films
• As the third verse begins we then start seeing the dancing women which is typical for Hip-hop videos
• This shot is reference to his lyrics about marmite.
• The video then ends with maxsta and his group of friends posing at the camera which is also a popular iconography within grime music videos
