Video analysis Beastie Boys Sabotage

Camera	Editing	Genre	Structure	Shore ideas	Meaning
A range of different methods of camera have been used in this video, ranging from close ups, extreme close ups (police siren) etc this is used to help portray the ‘cheesiness’ of the characters and use of long shots etc camera movements and shots range from low angle ( of the man running ) to birds eye or over the head shots (man kicking down door) these are used to help emphasise the fast pace of the video. As the video is set as a police chase/ fight. Quick panning and use of zoom in/zoom out also help this.	A lot of editing has been used in this video how ever this isn’t extremely noticeable to start with. Slow motion is used to add effect to men running and jumping. Pausing on characterless helps portray who is who and helps again portray the genre. In terms of camera itself and its editing they have used a vintage looking filter to help show the chase is meant to be set in the ‘60s’ period. The use of black and white is also used .	The use of the video its self doesn’t actually help portray the genre of the song entirely however, with the fast paced movement in relation to what is going on we can tell it is in the rock sort of genre as rock has fun and energetic sound to it, the name of the song is sabotage which relates to what is going on in the video	The structure of the video is a been made very will, its structure has a continuous flow rather like a movie. However everything happens a lot faster which makes it harder to understand what is happening. Montage is used to help this. Its structure is somewhat similar to a movie intro.	adolescent male fantasies- the fast paced action with the use of violence will draw attention to males, these are things that a boy will want to see in a video which is why it is a male fantasy	The meaning of the video is shown via the use of violence in relation too the name of the song sabotage, it is about people sabotaging a town whether it being by the use of exploding things, driving irresponsibly or by trafficking drugs all these relate to sabotage, and in a town/ city this can be quite a regular thing, especially in the 60s/70s with all different movements going on.
