The document summarizes the mise-en-scene and sound elements that establish the different backgrounds of two characters - a boy from a poor family and a girl who is deaf and comes from a rich family. It then flashes forward to show the boy becoming a successful athlete, representing the direction the narrative may take.

1. Two very different families, but both going through troubles in their own different way
– the boy if from a very poor background, the girl is death and dumb but comes from a
rich family.

•Sleeping on a mattress, no bed.
•Big four poster bed
•Rags
•Nice clothing – suits
•Poor quality walls, holes in them.
•Typical business man – suit, tie, laptop,

•‘get up you good for nothing lazy’, Sound
accent represents the background ‘good morning beautiful’ posh accent.
the family is from – poor.

2. Flashes forward to the future or possibly a dream – shows the direction the
narrative of the video.
Boy going from running along a poor street to being a top athlete.
Same shot type – long shot to show the different location. Flashes quickly to 3 different
location but at the same shot, this shows the distance the boy has run – shows his
dedication.

3. Despite the video having a heavy narrative to it,
there is also a lot of performer shots showing the
band and the artists.
The singers also act out some of the
sentences they are singing, such as ‘put
your hands up’ and ‘banging on your
chest’.

4. There is also a strong graphic match throughout the video between the performers and
the characters in the narrative. For example when the boy is getting beaten up, the kicks
link directly afterwards with the kicks from the guitar player.
Also when the girl is spinning around in ballet practice, the next immediate shot is the
drummer spinning his sticks.

5. There is also a link with the sound and the
actions, for instance in this shot where we
see the boy hitting the speed bag very
fast. It is also in time with the beat of the
song.

6. Towards the end of the song, when the lyrics become fast and up beat about becoming a
champion, the shots of each athlete matches the shots of what they were dreaming about
becoming. For example the shot of the girl in an ballet audition matches directly with the
image she had of her self doing ballet. This is done by flashing between the two shots and
synchronising them together, and also by matching the shot types and shot pace. This
represents how both teenagers dreams and ambitions had come true due to the hard work
they out in.
