Let It Burn - The Orwells
JME, Jammer and Skepta - I Don't Like
Narrative - The video doesn't have a narrative as such, as instead the video is directed as being filmed in one shot, in order to give the video the feel that it has been improvised on the spot. However, the actions which the rappers are doing match some of the lyrics they are saying, although with that said the main narrative comes from the lyrics.
Settings - The whole video is set in a dark place which has been illuminated by a single light source. This mixture of high and low key lighting gives the video an eerie feel, which makes the artists seem more threatening. In addition to this, because all of these shots are medium-close-ups of the artists, it is difficult to tell if it had been filmed inside or outside.
Number of Shots - It has been shot in order to appear as though it has been filmed in a single continuous shot, which is very rare for music videos as they are often made up of multiple different settings and shots which are then cut between. However, it also builds a lot more of a profile for the artists, as they are the only thing on screen. The shot constantly goes out of focus and back in, which along with the shakeyness of the camera gives the impression that the rappers are drunk.
Transitions - There are no transitions used, with the camera physically panning between the different artists as opposed to filming them separately and adding in transitions.
