Student Video Analysis



Song: Kano - Feel Free

This video is good for student work, it is not boring like a lot of rap/grime/hip-hop videos, and the lip-syncing has been done very well. The video suits the style of song and fits with the lyrics. However, the song could have been cut down a bit, so the video wasn't so long, but overall it is a good video.

Black The Ripper Ft. Rhymestein - Invisible Scarz Video Analysis



The video is very low budget and this does show, however it's still very effective, and it fits the song very well. It's no typical of grime videos which are often just an excuse to flash the 'bling'. The song has a message and the video tries to convey the message which it does very well. It shows the hard times that youths in London living on estates are going through which is not well publicized, but it also gives off the message to not let it get to you and to keep your head up. Therefore although not the best quality, it does the job it sets out to do and is very good in terms of Grime videos in general.

Lyrics

Here is the lyrics to our music video.

"Boston"

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see you
You said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah,

Boston... where no one knows my name... yeah
Where no one knows my name...
Where no one knows my name...
Yeah Boston...
Where no one knows my name.
