Silentó - Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)


The Music video begins with montages of groups of people dancing to the musics rhythm, with multiple new sections added with every second beat, this continues until the screen is filled with hundreds of people dancing to the same music which creates a sense of belonging to the audience as the people dancing are both male and female with varying ages and ethnicity. As the screen is filled up, computer generated affects combine the montages to create the rappers name "Silento".

Soon after the frame is faded to a worms eye view of Silento bouncing a basket ball at the screen then fading back and forth between him and the background performers. Whilst the camera is showing him it is panning to the right along with him as he dances, similarly as the camera turns to the background people the camera continues to pan. The movement creates a scene like Silento asking a question and the background people answering, the background people may be illustrating the  actual audience that is watching, being invited to sing and dance along with him.

The rest of the music video continues with the back and forth montages between groups of people dancing and the artist, this is suitable for this kind of music because its a dance/sing along and the audience would rather listen and dance than need to pay attention to other things happening in the scenes.

Throughout the music video, lip sync is used and multiple camera angles like pan, zoom, low angle and worms eye with most of them being medium and close ups, aswell as a few far and wide to show the bigger groups.

  1. Again, very brief with little or no specific analysis of techniques used or which of these you will use for your own ideas. You needed to improve the first one, and add a third! Vanessa
