2. MISE EN SCENE
• COSTUMES – THE MAIN COSTUMES USED IN THE GENRE INCLUDE – TRACKSUITS OR EXPENSIVE CLOTHING THAT IS
PORTRAYING THEIR CULTURE. THE USE OF THESE ‘UNIFORMS’ SHOW THAT THEY REJECT THE IDEAL THAT PEOPLE WITH
MONEY FORGET THEIR ORIGINS. FOR EXAMPLE IN AUDACITY – STORMZY THE OPENING SCENES PICTURE THE ARTIST AND
ACTORS WEARING JOGGERS, JUMPERS, T-SHIRTS, PUFFER COATS AND BEANIES.
• PROPS – THE USE OF VEHICLES SHOW THAT THEY ARE FROM URBAN AREAS OR ‘THE STREETS’.
• LOCATION – THE USE OF LOCATION ALLOWS FOR THE ARTIST TO DISPLAY THEIR CULTURE FURTHERMORE AND ALLOW FOR
THE AUDIENCE TO RELATE TO THEM.
• CASTING – MOST OF THESE VIDEOS INCLUDE A PREDOMINANTLY BLACK CAST AND THIS YET AGAIN IS USED TO PORTRAY
THEIR UNITY WITH PEOPLE AROUND THEM.

3. LIGHTING –

• NOT MUCH LIGHTING OR FLASHES OF STROBE LIGHT.

THE SHOT TYPES WHICH MIRRORS THE BEAT OF THE SONG.

5. EDITING TECHNIQUES
• QUICK JUMPS FROM ONE ANGLE TO THE NEXT CREATING A RHYTHM THAT RUNS PARALLEL TO THE BEAT OF
THE MUSIC.
• ALSO JUMPING FROM ONE LOCATION TO THE OTHER WITHOUT ANY INDICATION.
