Three other videos by Shy FX

Who Knows feat. Chronixx - Shy FX remix

This video is one of my favorite Shy FX videos because of the relaxed vibe it gives because of its use slow motion and a mixture of quick and slower paced cutting rates. The video is set in what appears to be Jamaica which allows the video to include many beautiful shots of the landscapes which only adds to the feel of the song. The fading transitions at the start of the video are very effective because at that point the song is much slower which creates a relaxed mood during the establishing shots. It is also very similar to how I want the start of my video to look because the song i have chosen is also slow and chilled at the start with strong reggae influences.

Original Nuttah - Shy FX & UK Apachi

The use of a fish eye camera lens in this video is very appealing to me as it allows the filmer to get very close to the artists and still get a lot of other mise-en-scene in the shot. It also creates a low budget, rough aesthetic which works very well with the drum and bass genre. The video is almost entirely shots of the artists and people dancing which conforms to the typical expectations of a drum and bass or dance music video. The cutting rate is very face paced which compliments the high tempo of the drums and when the cuts are matched and in time with the beat it improves the quality of the video massively.

Cloud 9 - Ms dynamite & Shy FX

I have chosen this video because it is different to the other two in the sense that it has a clear narrative which is about a couples romance through out the years from when they first met to when they are older. Due to this the cut rate is much slower than other videos because a story has to be told therefore very quick cutting would not be as effective. The video is also set in Jamaica which provides very aesthetically pleasing mise-en-scene and establishing shots.
