Research - 2/5 Music Videos

The song i have chosen is Girls Like - Tinie Tempah
This song has a narrative.

Girls Like is set in a town in Jamaica, we can already get a feel and a vibe before the music has started due to the location. At the start of the video we see a shot of Tinie walking out from the dark into the light, this camera shot got portray Tinie's life as he started with nothing but has moved forward in life with his previous hit songs such as "pass out." The start of the song is relatable to many people as they can empathise with Tinie as they have also started out with nothing but worked hard and made a name for themselves.

Tinie says "Yeah, Roley on the wrist, that's me, me. Man of the year, I'm fleeky. Heard a couple man wanna be me. Them man can't be TT" These lyrics suggest that Tinie is very important, bragging about his "Roley"(Rolex Watch) and also being man of the year winning a MOBO award. Interestingly at the moment of these lyrics we see a camera shot that shows Tinie at the front being followed by a group of girls, he's the centre of attention.

The editing fits well with the narrative of the music video. The video usually has a consistent amount of shots between Tinie himself and girls dancing which fits well with the name of the music video "Girls Like" The editing is very jumpy and inconsistent which is completely different to the beat as the beat is very consistent throughout the music video.
