Analysis of music video 

Camera- The beginning of this music video is very different from the previous clips that  I have seen, this music video actually shows a through a medium close up of the door, the name of the song displayed. This is quite cleaver as it’s done discreetly, but however, this was not a very good because, if you’re a person who doesn’t read signs in the video clip you won't recognise it's there, as personally I saw it after I played the song a few times. There are certain angles that match what they are trying to do, which is being funny, so it is important that they high light and show clearly to the audience what is funny. An example of this is, when the girl starts driving, they showed her foot accelerating and stopping constantly through a low angle shot and after we then a high angle of the car, where we see the effect it has of her accelerating and stopping quickly making us laugh. But when we think we saw it all, she then drives into the cops, and we see one of the cops face expression through a medium close up, making the audience have a bit of a laugh for longer. 

Editing- The editing it a cut away, which matches the rhythm of the music. 

Mise en scene- The mise en scene of the clothing of the actors matched the message they were trying to send to the audience, they decided to have one of the group members dressed completely different to what we expect him to look like, the other two members of the group dressed up like cops. This surprised the audience, as when we see them first time we don't recognise them straight away.
