the video offers a lot of symnetary most of the time the video will have a space in the middle with nothing appearing the effects work well for the video controversial due to the amount of stobe lights used in the video the video also has no meaning its just a normal rap song
the video offers a lot of symnetary most of the time the video will have a space in the middle with nothing appearing the effects work well for the video .
when you watch the video and listen to the beat you can tell its a hip hop song with the beat and the producing that us set behind it the beat is very slow but works well for there rapping style.
With the use in media the song was used for the french election and loads of rappers jumped on and did remixes to the song.
I picked the song because i thought it was very diffirent compared to most music videos most videos arent film live and i think it worked really well for those two because most rap videos contain sex drugs and voilience

evalution

for our latest college project for steve, we had to come up with and create a multi camera show the first show we made was a dating comedy show and the second one we made was a quiz show both shows went very well seeing the little time we had compared to other media classies in the past they had a few more weeks to prepare our first show was called Duel Date, which was a comedy dating show we came up with the idea after looking at Cilla black, blind date, now blind date being the very popular show which aired on ITV in from 1985 to 2003 in the show people that took part in the show had to take part in a series of questions and rounds and each player with the lowest score and the end of each round would be sent off and ofcourse the player who get the last answer correct got to go off with the girl off his dreams our show was the same as blind date but at the end instead of having a question round and whoever sung the best would win the girl of their dreams.The people we ahd in our show was Neil Hunt, our college lecturer we had Meri, Scott, and Connor, the college of our set the set was red with pink mixed in we had the font of our show right in the middle of the whiteboard we made the lights fourm around the whiteboard it made the set glow like it was christmas
