  • Explore how the artists are using representation to appeal to their target audience in these three videos by picking out key frames from the video to analyse.

-all 3 of the videos use a diverse group of people making them appeal to a wider range of people
-for at least some part of the 3 videos they are set outside in the streets which hints the dance style being street/hip hop/ commercial and lots of teenagers hang out in the streets so target audience can relate and will attract them

The camera angle we used was very similar to the original which was a straight on wide shot showing some of the surrounding area and background of the location chosen. We managed to match the style of outfit that the actors were wearing as they both wore a jacket with a tie. However, we were unable to match the colours. The lighting of the shot was also all natural light like the original. The differences of the shots include, the outfit while the same style are different looking as ours used a school uniform and the original had a full colourful suit. The location was different as well as we used the wall of a school building and the original used a fence and corner of a building in London. The lighting in both videos used natural light this was because the original was standing in front of a white building which means a lot of light was being reflected back at the subje...
