Analysing ‘Smack My Bitch
Up’ By Prodigy
What Camera Shot Is Being
Used?
   In this video the only shot used is a point of view shot, this is
    effective because it never reveals the identity of the person
    doing everything but simply what they are doing. Their
    behaviour is very inappropriate and it allows the audience to
    build their own judgement and stereotype on who the character
    is.
   This then adds the shock factor at the end, when it is 99%
    guarantueed that the consumer did not expect the character to
    be a female. This then becomes a topic of converstation, which
    means more people will want to watch it to fit in and therefore
    make more sales.
What Sounds Are Used?
   In the video you see a CD being put in at the
    beginning and that starts the music off,
    however the narrative cleverly allows the
    audience to lose themselves in it and not
    even think anything of it when the character
    leaves the house and it’s still playing. There
    are also a lot of ambient noises such as the
    toilet flushing, the water running in the shower
    and the police sirens, which adds to the
    narrative yet cleverly doesn’t take the
    emphasis off the actual song.
