Analysing a Music Video:

Song: Smack my bitch up
Artist: The Prodigy

Story: Unlike many dance videos this has a very clear narrative building up to the big twist at the end. The twist makes it more memorable.

Setting: Set in the clubs of Soho London also in her (the characters) flat and bathroom. This fits in with the title of the song as it makes it some what acceptable that its a woman smacking a woman up. This type of music would also be heard in the clubs of Soho meaning the setting fits the plot.

Characters: We don't see the band in the video like many dance videos you don't see the DJ or band however prodigy often appear in their music videos. The audience assume that the charater is a man hitting a woman but we find out that the twist is it's a woman hitting a woman.

Costumes: Sexy club outfits

Lyrics: Lyrics are minimal but has some reference to what happens in the video i.e. "Smack my bitch up".

Special effects: Mimimal special effects are used, there used to show that the charater is drunk because were not allowed to see the character only through her eyes.

Camera Angles: Point of view shot to hide the twist until the end, Looks fast as though time is in fast forward which matches the song/genre/club scene.
