N-Dubz - I Need You
1. N Dubs – I Need You Genre: Hip/Hop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yngrBlA3LO4 JL<br />00:00-00:04Titles – name of band. Appeared from the distance and faded out. <br />00:04-00:06Establishing shot of a roof top showing a helicopter is about to land. Dark evening, cloudy, this sets mood of suspicion.00:06-00:07Mid close up of a figure on a motorbike. Very plain colours, only black and white is used.<br />00:07-00:08Extreme close up of a sports car, again, black and white only. After came a montage of the same modes of transport for 9 seconds introducing each band member.<br />00:08-00:17Long shot of each band member and what they arrived in. Very bright lighting to enhance the presence of expensive vehicles although they blend in with the night time setting. The artist’s also blending with the surrounding.<br />00:17-00:21Close up of one of the band members. Dark background, blurred, focusing on the artist. Lights highlight glamour in the video.<br />00:21-00:23Mid shot of all the band members again. Different to pop videos – usually focus on each member at a time. Background still very dark.<br />00:23-00:24Mid shot of all the band members in a club dressed in similar clothing. Lighting, still a little dim but artists are highlighted. People dancing in the background. Little bit of smoke.<br />00:24-00:25Close up of some of the dancing girls in the club. Not much lighting illustrating they are not that important.<br />00:25-00:27Back to the original setting of all band members. Each in their own position, no synchronised moves or gestures.<br />00:27-00:34Multiple shots of the artist with a girl getting close on comfy seating and lights used to make the mood more intimate.<br />00:34-00:36Back to the external location, no specific shot as all band members are positioned casually in the shot doing their own thing. Different to pop videos, they would make sure you get a clear view of one or all of the artists.<br />00:36-00:37Inside the club again, mid shot of one of the singers with the same girl. Light reflections cutting through shot, adds to the club atmosphere.<br />00:37-00:38On the roof again, long shot of the two male artists and 4 other men, all dressed in dark clothing, almost blending in with the background. Lights from vehicles still in the shot.<br />00:38-00:45Multiple shots of the first location and the club after one another for the next 7 seconds then a unexpected close up of a gold, heart shaped object with the word ‘care’ on it.<br />
