I have decided to analyze Chase & Status's remix of other songs. This is called "Pieces" by Plan B featuring Chase & Status. Because they are featuring another artist and it also includes a music video which will inspire me throughout the making of my own. The opening close up shot of the guitar reveals the video is going to be somehow performance based due to the camera panning around the singers face. The camera also pedistals from the microphone to the guitar to expose the close up shots of the instruments used. The lighting used is extremely dark to indicate the song could be serious or a personal view of the artist. When the speed of the song begins to increase, the shots begin to skip from one and other alot faster to give an exciting feel towards the audience. Many point of view shots are used in the scene where they are watching the video tape. This begins to reveal that the video is also concept/story based as well as including performance shots. The promptness of the video begins to multiply as the sound of the remix kicks in. By using faster editing techniques in the video has more chance of attracting a younger audience which this video does because it relys on the beat of the song to resemble the alternating shots. The lighting is enhanced when the shots of the past are used to show the 'good times' in comparison with the darker shots of the girl damaging their house. Many of the camera shots used are free hand to show the story is realistic, drawing a larger variety of the target audience. This type of music video and song would probably aim at an audience around the age of 16-20 mostly because drum & bass/dance music mostly attracts this specific audience. When it skips to the scene of the performer singing, the camera angles are extremely rapid to relate to the story theme of the video which appears to be sex and drugs. The mise en scene used in the video is mostly casual clothes and nothing fancy, relating with the extreme party theme of the video. The quickness of the video relates well with the beat of the song which is what inspires our group.
