Influential Videos

Jaja Soze ft Steelo - That's who I am 

This video is a influential video due to the relation with the idea we had, of the kid growing up, contrasting to him in the old ways and how he is now living is life. Although our idea is different in terms of our kid is chasing for the dream and aiming to be a star, whilst in comparison to this video, which is based on 'Jaja' the artist and how he was on the wrong path, doing some bad things and how he is now doing well in terms of music and life. In this video there are a few shots that we can think to use, such as when the younger version of 'Jaja', it freezes and says 'Jaja' also the shot where the younger version comes out of the college and the camera is looking up at home and behind him in contrast is the college and the name of it.

The camera shots were clever and very effective, showing that who is a t the top or he feels like that because he has achieved something in life(jaja), this hot was i the roof, similar to what we plan to do. In addition the transitions were smooth, cutaways were effective and you do not realise it as there is continuos editing.  There are a wide range of mid shots and high shots were the camera looks up at jaja once he has achieved the main objective of changing his ways and becoming a better person and achieving in his music. There was some very quick editing, showing the names, places and the times. Some shots were directly looking at the camera and performing which gives that sense of looking and communicating directly with the audience, sending a message, of wrong doings. Also there a lot of close ups on jaja's face signifying the pain and stress, from his wrong doings in the past. for editing there are some moments where the camera freezes and zoom in, showing the key elements, such as when he shakes hands with the guy leading him on the wrong path.

Overall in the video the shots were based and followed the setting of the lyrics, so both interlinked and worked very well, in addition there is the storyline which is Simultaneously showing the performance and the story line, something we have planned to do as well.
