Stefflon Don- 16 Shots https://youtu.be/m5TIDDx57-0
The music video, 16 shots by Stefflon don. It is about what
she does when her mother has been kidnapped and they are holding her for
ransom. The video begins with a wide/
long shot of a beach in Jamaica, zooming in at a reasonable rate. It then goes
into the next shot, which is a medium close up of Stefflon Don the next shot is
where the performance element plays a key part as the next shot goes into a
birds eye view of the streets of Jamaica and how Shefflon gets a phone call
saying her mum has been kidnapped and she has to give money to get her back. The
birds eye view also shows the visual effect and the conditions the mum is being
kept in (as the streets are not that clean). It also shows that the mum could
be located anywhere in these large streets of Jamaica. The next scene she is
stall on the phone but we get to see who is keeping her for ransom and he is
holding a gun which can express how seriouse they are about getting this money
and what extent they have gone to, to make sure they get the money. They next scene they jump from shot to shot
all in all, about 20 different medium close ups shown in approximately 6
seconds. Which shows the amount of editing used the next scene starts with a
medium close up of Stefflon saying how she is going to get revenge. This shot
is then followed up with about 2 closes ups of her still singing and then a
close up of a gun being picked up which can give the impression someone is
going to get hurt or she is going to try and get her mum back without paying of
the ransom. It then goes straight into the next shot where they are jumping
from shot to shot all of them long shots. But then starts to show close ups of
Stefflon again as it continues to jump from shot to shot. Even though they continue
to jump from shot to shot they keep returning to a key scene that shows Stefflon
managing to capture the person that was supposed to collect the money from her.
It also shows her interrogating him to get information on where her mum is. Even
though they jump from shot to shot you will be able to tell they keep returning
to the scene that tell kind of a story and they shots are in slower motion then
the other shots. This helps show the amount of editing used. She eventually
finds out where her mum is kept and goes there with a gun which shows what
extent she will go to get her mum back. It also goes along with the story line
as she says, “everyone around here needs ammo” which also shows she is going to
shot him. which she does but we don’t see the gun just after she has fired it
and they cut to a different scene of a close up with her and her mum.
