2. Purposes of music video
Music videos have a few purposes, like:
• Promoting the band/artist
• To help the listener/viewer understand what
the music is about
• To represent the image of a certain artist/band
4. Summarising
The video shows what band members do in their spare time –
spending time with their mates, ‘chilling’, in the area where
they grew up – New York, Brooklyn, Flatbush Avenue. The
main character, the one who’s rapping, Meechy Darko, is one
of the member of Flatbush Zombies. We can also see another
member, Zombie Juice, although third and the last member of
FBZ, Eric Arc Elliott, isn’t in the video. Other people are just
friends of FBZ.

5. Aspects of the film language
The video shows a perfect example of linear narration. It tells a
certain story, but doesn’t include any flashbacks or memories,
everything happens in a right order.
The video shows us a lot of close ups, medium shots and a few
long shots.
6. Flatbush Zombies

• Meechy Darko

7. All three members were born and raised in
