This video fits the aspects of dubstep very well. There is explosions, kids dressed up like tiny gangsters and lots of fast moving shots and fast editing. The video shows kids with bandannas around their faces as the truck nears. This was to gather tension as the lead up to the drop in the song gets closer. The lyrics to the song, “Shouts to all my Lost Boys, we rowdy “ plays on loop in the background and is effective to the message the video is trying to portray. A little catch I found with the video is the connection with peter pan. The term Lost Boys were the little misfit kids who never grow up, and at the end of the video we see the ice-cream man with a hook instead of a hand after it had been chopped of in the first heist by one of the boys. The boys use explosives to stop the ice cream van. This is a reflection on the fast violent sound related to dubstep.

 

 

After they eat the ice cream, one of the boys shadows gets larger this is to portray them growing up. This creates a sense of tension as the music video has now taken a huge turn of events. We then find the grown up boys now robbing a armed van with rocket launchers and guns. This ups the intensity of the video as well as the intensity of the song. There are more explosions and more action which creates a sense of excitement towards the viewer. The editing of the video is in sync with the music very nicely. When the boy fires a small explosive at the ice cream van driver and it explodes, the drop to the song happens at the same time. This is then replicated with the rocket launcher and the armed van when the boys are grown up. Some of the shots of the heist are slowed down to create more tension such as in a way which I will be using in my video.

 

The hole concept of a ice cream van being robbed by kids is very out of the blue. Its something new that u would expect to see. This is one of the reasons why this video is especially good. After looking at this video in detail I have gathered ideas as to how I will approach my video when the time comes to make it. I will be looking at quick editing and slow motion, as well as the synchronization of the music with the action shots.
