(FROM RIGHT TO LEFT):
1. a shot that shows a link between lyrics and/or music and visuals:
The Lyrics say: "In the club, shakin' shakin'. I decided to link the imagery with this by inserting footage of old-school 1990's acid house ravers as they suit the scene of the music and demographi. It also just fitted perfectly, creating an apocalyptic rave theme like the world is ending and everyone is celebrating their last seconds on earth - come to think of it, maybe this is how we'll end on 2012.
2. a shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to be represented:
I thought this shot would identify the label as a geek-sheek, indy, electro, retro-mad collective (which they are) by showing this kid in glasses going crazy to the beat - a similar example would be:
The kids in this video (of the same genre and scene) are all just as speccy and nerdy.
3. a shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre:

3. a shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre:
The 3rd image work in a similar way to the first, using acid house dancers and artwork to demonstrate the genre. The reason is because nowadays, unlike older electro music inspired by 1980's synths is now going for 1990's instead (drum loops/samples/art work and more).
4. a shot that shows an intertextual reference:
The Intertextual reference is from Romain Gavras' video for The Last Shadow Puppets' "Age of the Understatement" Video, demonstrating a dystopic soviet russia - I turned it slightly to a dystopic planet, because the walking has destroyed so much and the armies need to retaliate.
5. a shot that demonstrates your use of camera:
Not many shots (created by myself) have much camera work - for the scenes with me green screened, I just had a static, tripod mounted camera.
6. a shot that demonstrates your use of lighting:
The Shots in in the clubs and the sparks n explosions were all used instead of strobes - the clubs had dancers which synced to the beat. The explosion flourishewd across the screen for transitions when solid cutting would'nt do.
7. a shot that demonstrates your use of mise-en-scene:
My mise-en-scene is simply the world constantly being destroyed, both by the giant and the people trying to retaliate with nukes against him. I wanted the youth of the planet to be celebrating their fates by raving in a club, being blown up in the process. Overall, the apocalyptic themes were inspired by the viral concept of judgment day on 2012.
8/9. Two shots which you feel demonstrate something which shows you have watched other music videos:
I have inspirations from Godzilla and Beastie Boys when it comes to the stepping/giant business. Armageddon, 2012 and old disaster movies gave me the inspirations for the tidal waves n volcanoes - they all feature a lot of pyro to create nice transitions.
