N****s in Paris Music Video Deconstruction

Paris:

- Editing of this music video is fascinatingly inspiring. The effect of mirroring is interesting throughout the start of this teaser trailer. The use of horizontal and vertical mirroring helps to disorientate, yet intrigue the viewer. This element of disorientation is further shown through the use of quick flashes of strobe lighting. In several shots, the use of a horizontal and a vertical mirror is used in one frame to quickly confuse the reader. Following on from this, the frame will then return to one mirror to allow the viewer to be grounded and understand what is happening in the digetic world.

- The use of careful colour coordination is used, where the illuminated lights are projected behind a mainly black or dark colour schemed back ground is effective because it epitomises the ecstasy of the nightlife in the concert. This shows how lighting and colour can be used for effect which could definitely be used for effect in our trailer.
