JJ - Sticks n Stones Technical Analysis

This song has no particular narrative, there are shots that give meaning to the song and a few lines are related to the visuals but mainly performance based in odd settings. As it is performance based there are many mid-shots. This allows the audience to feel connected to Jamie and we can relate to his lyrics. There are close ups of Jamies face in the faster rapping parts as well as long shots and mid shots when there is partial narrative. I feel these shots connote that Jamie has a great talent. He is an average person he is not air brushed or shot specially to make him look his best we just see his individuality. The narrative shots give meaning to the lyrics therefore connecting the audience with the lines. There are very few special effects used. The shooting was very successful it conveys Jamies image and agrees with the typical indie and British Hip/Hop conventions.
