1. Bhangra Music videos which influenced our project
Punjabi Hurr
The long shot of the dancers sticks
to the traditional conventions of the
Bhangra genre. It portrays a
colourful and vibrant atmosphere
with their traditional clothing.
The mid shot of the main singer
singing directly towards the camera
conveys a sense of interaction
between the singer and the
audience.
With these types of shots in Bhangra
music videos there usually have
some sort of feature background, in
this video they have bright colourful
lighting and a fancy car parked
behind him conveying him as a
masculine male, heroic in a way.
Here is another mid shot with a title
of the song appearing. In many
Bhangra music videos you have
titles appearing with the singer
name as an introduction. The title is
arty as it appears to the beat and
goes with the music.

2. This shot is another mid shot of the
main producer with his friends. This
influenced our video as we used the
main girl and her group of friends
dancing on the dance floor.
Here is another mid shot of the
main singer in front of a black
background. In this video it is
evident that singers have different
features backgrounds in order to
create an effective mise en scene.
Bari Barsi – Punjabi Mc
Here is a long shot establishing once
again the colourful atmosphere and
the background. In our music video
one our biggest influences was using
the traditional Bhangra dancers
whilst using tilt, panning and tracing
movement.

dancers. Which we could also use
when filming traditional dancing.
This emphasises facial expressions.
Is traditional Bhangra dancing is
about being happy and smiling.
