Dance Music Research Task

All of these music videos fit into the dance music genre because they all have high energy movements. The actors featured in the videos also do not sing along to the the lyrics of the song like a lot of pop music videos do. The focus more on the dance element of the music. None of the music videos feature the artists again to focus the attention on the dance element of the music. The videos all have bright colours to represent the high energy music.  In the Sigala video there is not much representation, regarding race, until around half way through the video. Until that point the only people seen are young white men and women. Although they are from different social groups, for example there is a couple fo people that are doing tricks on BMXs and the main feature is a girl on roller-skates. There is also a couple of dancers that are represented. There is then seen a mother and son walking down the street which gives representation to a different race not seen in the vi

Preliminary Production Evaluation (Moving Image)

Wear brown shoes after six: I think that the camera angles for the first scene were fairly accurate. The first one could have been taken from a slightly lower angle and the third maybe slightly further away. I managed to create a focus pull in the second shot which matched the original so this was successful. The location was not very accurate as there wasn't enough lighting on the street to be able to see the subject of the scene. However it was still taken outside. This scene was edited well as we managed to get the timings to fit well with the non diegetic soundtrack and voiceover. The mise en scene was accurate as the subject was wearing a suit and holding a clear umbrella. However the colour of the suit doesn't exactly match the original. The lighting also isn't great and is a lot darker then the original. This is probably because I just used the lighting that was there instead of creating my own lighting set up. Wear a hat indoors:
