Inspiration for shots

 I took inspiration from other media texts in order to gain inspiration for our music video, I found the use of extreme close ups work very well whilst trying to show emotions, and considering our music video's key aim is to evoke the sympathy of th audience thse shots would be key. Firstly the use of an extreme close up with a knife... this both allows us to see the victims expression against the prop and the attacker!  
 I like the way the protagonist is in the centre of the frame, this highlights his vulnerability and allows the audience to sympathise with him. I particularly like the way the attackers hand is in the lefthand third of the frame. In our final music video we used a similar shot, to help portray vulnerability.

This shot is very chaotic as it includes both the protagonist and a police car! this connotations of this shot typically conform to the conventions of a grime music video and violence is dominant and the police is seen as the enemy! I think this shot in our music video could represent the split between wrong and right! I likt the way the frame is split into two, we have also used this similar shot!

A shot of the protagonist on public transport is rather essential, as it represents a journey and it allows us to show the the audience where we have set the video... In our music video an underground sign reading, (SOUTH WIMBLEDON) like the one behind the man in this inspiration shot is used! We stressed the importance of this shot as it represents a typical london atmosphere.
