I like this shot at the beginning of the music video because it is a low angle camera shot to show the two main dancers, that will be in this video throughout the song. This is very important to the music video as there is no real story line to this song, the video is just staged around these two dancers doing the shuffle in different Urban locations.
This is a close up shot of the male dancers feet, this is a very good shot because it lets the viewer see the foot work of the dance which is in time with the beat of the song. The lighting of this shot is also very cleaver using the key light to create a shadow of the dancer in shot behind, so even though the camera is focused on the feet the viewer is still able to see the movement of the rest of the dancer in the shadow.
This shot is the first generic shot we see in this video for a dance or hard style music video. This is taken during a performance by scooter in a club or at a festival. This is a long shot and you can just about see scooter. No visual effects would have been used in this shot as it already has the lights from inside the club that make this shot look different to the other shots in this video.
This is another shot from inside the club, however the camera pans across the audience that are jumping around which again is typical of this music genera. Again the use of the lights from the club adds to the shot.
I love this shot in the club as the camera is focused on the hands and in the background is scooter who is out of focus. I also like how the use of lights has been used again as it looks as if the lights are just lighting up scooter in this shot. All of this adds to the impression of a dance scene atmosphere.
Again this is a low angled camera shot showing the dancer, however what is very good about this shot is the fact that the dancer is all black suggesting that this has been filmed using just a back light and then put in front of this Urban skyscraper.
This close up shot of the main singer, is what we would expect of any music video. However it cuts back and forth to other shots which keep in time with the beats in the song. What is also very clever about this shot is that as Scooter finishes his line the camera does a focus pull leaving him out of focus, which i think is a very good way of finishing a verse.
This shot shows another location that was used in this video, again giving an Urban impression. However this time the shot is very dark, black and white, this helps give the impression of a Urban side street which is were the dancers are.
This shot shows another generic of the dance genre music video, they tend to have hot girls dancing around, and the camera tends to pan up and down appealing to a more male audience.
