Giggs & Skepta – Look out




The first scene is of a group of black boys outside a council estate. You hear a drum roll then he starts MCing. It shows the two different artists set in different locations. One of the locations is set in the night and the other in the day one has the typical convention of a black man being a ‘gangster’.
They use camera shots such as:
· Canted angle
· Sudden zoom out
· Sudden zoom in
· Panning
· Hand held shots (moving left to right)
In the video the music stops and the audience can hear the diegetic sound of the artist speaking explaining where he is going the next. They have expensive white cars, which they are driving at night this contrasts the black of the night and matches the artist clothes, which are black and white. There is also a red car which is behind the white expensive car this shows the importance and authority of the people in the white car.
The two artists, costumes are very casual they are representing the name of his group on his tee shirt. They are both wearing black and white.
Skepta has a scene where there are a lot of children surrounding him, this connitates that he also grew up in the same environment.
