Mise-en-scene:
Camera shots/angles/editing:
Continuous tracking take is used throughout the video which infers that street life is ever evolving and continuing to grow. This idea can be reinforced by the editing as no cuts or edited features can be seen which could also infer that the city and street life can't be changed or manipulated, it is how it is. This overall creates a natural, realistic feeling as the music video plainly shows what street life is like without any changes so that realism is kept. The music video begins with the camera focusing on a gang which then proceeds to moving onto tracking the back of Shara Nelson down the street until the camera pans around her then focuses on the front of her as she walks down the road. This changes towards the end as the camera pans back around her so that the audience sees her back as she walks away down the road while the music begins to fade and we see her walk around the corner of a building down a side street as the camera keeps slowly moving forward in her direction, focusing on two children playing in the street and a child on his skateboard until the music stops and the video cuts to black.
Lighting/setting/location:
The video is located is an urban city mainly focusing around the streets and the people there. It is portrayed as a busy place with many people doing their own thing in the background. The continuous streets have multiple shops with owners trying to sell goods as well as a market and the many cars in the road as well as children playing. The location contains only natural lighting to show to the audience that everything in the video is made to look like a natural city life which helps to create even more realism for the audience.
